Tree reviews in Belton, Missouri

We've had Happy Lemon Tree Service out twice now for two different jobs. Always professional, fairly priced, and they have a quick turnaround time from bid to service. They are at the top of our call list when we need a tree taken care of. Can't recommend them enough!

Rockstar crew!! I recently moved into my home and had a very overgrown tree in my backyard that was too much for me to handle. Happy Lemon was able to come right out and remove the tree with ease. Highly recommend using their services if you’re interested in tree removal!

Had a massive pine tree that needed to be removed, it was the second one. We had another company remove the first one, they did a good job but they were expensive. I called Paul at Happy Lemon and he got out the next day to get me an estimate on the second tree, he was half the cost. He got me scheduled the following week and did an awesome job. Thank you Paul.

I needed a Mulberry tree removed from my back yard. It was right in the corner of two fence lines and leaning over both fences so I couldn't remove it myself. Paul was quick to respond when I first reached out on a Friday evening and he told me he would stop by at 7:30am the following Monday.

When Monday rolled around he was running late so I ended up going to work, but he got me a quote that day. I signed the quote that evening and he had a team at my house Tuesday afternoon to cut out the tree. They had a full team and had the tree cut down and loaded in their trailer in about an hour and a half. They drove their equipment through my yard which made me worried it would kill my grass since it was trampled down, but they used their leaf blowers to fluff the grass and it looked way better by the time they left. By the next day you could hardly tell they were there. They also did a pretty good job of picking up all the little sticks that were in my yard - there were a few in the street, but nothing major.

They came back the following week to grind out the stumps. They took down a section of the short fence to make sure the stump was gone on both sides. I ended up screwing the fence section back up which I told Paul I would do. Their stump grinder treads tore up my grass a little bit, but I had honestly expected a lot worse when I initially reached out to them.

Overall, I'm happy with the responsiveness, quality, and speed of their work. Their price seemed reasonable for the work. I'll definitely be using them again if I ever have another tree that needs cut out that I can't do myself.

Quick and efficient service at a reasonable price! They came out to perform a quote and provided service the same day. Other companies quoted us almost double what Happy Lemon Tree Service did. They pruned two very large oak trees in our front yard that had dead branches and branches overhanging our house in about 2 hours and provided clean up and haul away so we didn’t have debris littered through our yard. The crew was respectful and knowledgeable, frequently checking in with me on progress to make sure I was satisfied. I will definitely be recommending their services to our friends and neighbors!

When I called on March 9 to request a quote for trimming a tree in our front yard as well as one in the yard next door, they were nice and responsive. Paul came out on March 10 and, as of March 31 (three weeks later!), neither my neighbor nor I have received a quote. In the interim, I called them several times, texted, confirmed that our contact info was correct on their end, and even requested a response via their website to see what happened to the quote…all to no avail. At this juncture, we have engaged another tree business as Happy Lemon needs a different moniker!

The guys at Happy Lemon Tree Service arrived in a timely manner took care of a tree that was in my mind Pretty close to the house with no issues pruned it nicely. They originally told me it was a pretty healthy tree so I didn’t want to keep it.
They’re a friendly crew. I would use them again and recommend them highly.
Thank you.

So Happy I called this company. Paul has been great at communicating and is super friendly and professional. They all did a great job being careful and cleaning up. Got the job done quickly and for a fantastic price. I also received a couple of cool pics while Paul was up there. Lol. I highly recommend them and will be referring everyone I know to them.
Thank you!

These folks came out and took care of a busted branch that had crashed onto a dead tree on my property. They got me on their schedule fast thanks to a cancellation, and they did a solid, no-nonsense job. They even tackled a couple of extra issues while they were at it, and the price was more than fair. Honestly, I’d recommend them if you want the job done right.

12/10would recommend.

Have a back yard with quite a few problematic trees I've had removed over the years. Recently had them remove 3 trees and their crew was by far the best I've used. Very efficient clean work with good communication. On top of that, they had very competitive pricing that made them a clear choice against other local estimates.

Paul was able to come out and bid our smaller job the same day I requested a bid! He was priced fair and very kind and informative. We scheduled the work and it was done quickly, with care, and no mess was left behind. We would definitely recommend Happy Lemon for any tree services!

I can’t recommend Paul and his team at Happy Lemon highly enough. I reached out to him at 8 PM on a weekday, and to my surprise (and immense relief), he answered almost immediately. My husband and I had already received a quote from another local arborist for the removal of a massive Silver Maple in our front yard and had planned to go with them. But then a large branch came down during a storm, making it clear that we couldn’t afford to wait the 3–5 weeks that the initial company had quoted as their soonest availability.

In a bit of a panic, I started contacting arborists who offered 24/7 availability, and that’s when we found Paul. He came out the very next morning to provide a quote, and by Friday (just four days later) he and his team were at our home taking the tree down. They were prompt, professional, honest, and incredibly easy to work with, especially for us as relatively new homeowners dealing with a 1949-built house full of surprises. I genuinely cannot stress how much easier the next 3-5 weeks will be with not have to wonder/worry if another branch is going to come down.

We just had a large tree cut down, after enjoying its beauty for many years. The communication with Happy lemon tree, was very good. The crew did a great job and I am pleased with the results. I highly recommend!

I had a great experience with Happy Lemon. They quoted my job (taking down a huge dead maple) quickly, the price was good, and the job was done within just a few days. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Thanks guys!

WOW!! I am totally floored by what a great job this company did for us. We had part of an enormous tree split and come down on a Sunday. I called Paul with no idea what to expect and we were very stressed out. He was friendly and communicated well through the whole process. The price they gave us was very competitive. They attempted to come out on Tuesday, but we had freak thunderstorms that didn’t make things safe for the crew to work in, which was totally understandable. They came out immediately the following day and had the whole tree (both sides) down in around four hours and completely hauled away. You wouldn’t even know they were here if not for the stump. It was a delicate job, too, since the partial tree fell right between our and our neighbor’s house. I am so impressed with this company’s professionalism and work. I will definitely call them again when we need tree work. They made the process so seamless and easy!

So my wife and I decide to take a romantic trip to France—baguettes, berets, the whole thing. Naturally, while we’re gone, a 50-foot behemoth of a tree decides it’s the perfect time to swan dive onto our house. I’m talking a lumberjack’s dream, a tree so big it probably had its own zip code.

Miraculously, the house was still standing. Probably out of sheer confusion.

I called Happy Lemon Tree from across the ocean, expecting voicemail purgatory. Instead, they picked up, gave me a quote within a couple of hours, and I shot it over to insurance faster than I downed wine in Paris. The very next day—bam—tree gone, yard cleaned, house breathing a sigh of relief.

But here’s the real miracle: they managed to deal with my neighbor (a woman who once called the fire department because someone grilled too close to her begonias). Not only did they talk to her, they didn’t flee the property. That alone deserves a standing ovation.

Quick, professional, and clearly brave—Happy Lemon Tree lived up to the name. Would absolutely call again... though I hope I never have to.

Paul and the crew at Happy Lemon did an amazingly thorough, efficient, and difficult job at my house cleaning up massive storm debris. Paul was incredibly responsive and easy to work with. He even took extra time out of his schedule to come take a look at a second area of concern all while being reasonably priced for such high quality work. I will recommend Happy Lemon to everyone who asks for tree service recommendations, and I know I will continue to use their services for years moving forward. Thank you for your help and great work Paul + Happy Lemon!

Thanks for getting the job done!
We recently had two very large trees removed from our property, and I cannot recommend this company enough! From start to finish, the crew was professional, efficient, and incredibly skilled. They showed up on time, worked safely and carefully around our home, and had the trees down much quicker than I expected.

Absolutely incredible work. We have a 70 year old oak tree that needed trimmed and pruned.

I called Happy Lemon to provide an estimate and they showed up when they said they would, quoted the service, and had their crew to our house an hour later after we decided to move forward.

They completed the service with precision and cleaned up debris like they were never there, and the whole project took just over an hour.

Very professional. Highly recommend.

EDIT: The owner knocked on my door and told me this is a ridiculous review, told me MY yard is a mess, and to never call them. He didn't care that his employee repeatedly called me a liar. Their response below is so silly. I know they were working for a neighbor (my review even states that!); and anyone would be annoyed after being repeatedly called a liar after realizing their back gate was open during the course of tree removal, while workers are in their yard (not the yard they were working in). Again, the gate was closed at 8 a.m. when they arrived and was opened while they were there. A ghost didn't do it. They also edited their response to me below, to remove the part about THEM coming back onto my property, knocking on my door, and saying I was angry with them.

Original review:
These guys are incredibly rude and unprofessional, and I am appalled at the lack of accountability of this crew.

This company performed work at my neighbor's house on a tree on the opposite side of their backyard. The tree service arrived just before 8 a.m., and I took my dogs outside immediately after. I was outside with the dogs, and observed that my backyard gate was closed and latched shut.

There were various noises during tree removal, which I totally understand. But from where I was working in my living room, I could hear the limbs they were removing scraping the side of the house as they went through the side yard. Later in the morning, I looked out the window and noticed that the gate to my backyard was open.

My husband went outside and noticed that the downspout extender and a pest control station had been moved as well. He asked them if they had opened the backyard gate. They denied that they were responsible in any way.

I took photos and noted that there are dead leaves in our front yard that were not there before as well, due to them dragging them through the yard. While I was taking photos, someone on their dump truck asked me if anything was wrong. I said, "Yes," and reiterated the situation my husband had already spoken to them about.

Another worker, a younger man, told me I was wrong, that they did not touch the gate or the other areas of my home. He repeatedly cut me off and said I was lying. What is my motivation to lie about this? Just apologize that, in the process of removing the tree, your equipment or tree limbs knocked these items out of place -- but also notice what has happened during the course of your work, and close the gate.

I told this younger worker, who was standing in my yard, that he did not have permission to be in my yard during work at another person's home. He told me I am "petty." The fact of the matter is, if I hadn't noticed the gate and let my dogs out, something tragic could have happened. We live less than a block from a major intersection, and it wouldn't have taken my dogs long to reach it unnoticed.

Photos show my backyard gate open, the dead leaves from my neighbor's tree being dragged through, and their equipment in front of my house.

Very responsive and upfront with technical information during the quotation phase. I was impressed with the crew as well. One guy explained their plan before they began and another guy explained what they accomplished. Fair pricing as well. I feel so much better having had this tree service company help us with extraneous and dead limbs.
