Tree reviews in Cincinnati, Ohio

These folks did a fantastic job - right equipment, time frame followed and clean up like they weren't even there. They did a fantastic job...Highly Recommend!!!!

Lexy and his crew have been tending our trees for several years. They are knowledgeable, proactively attentive to our trees' needs, sensitive to different aesthetic styles, responsive, interested, kind, and a complete delight to have around! Somehow it is true that the trees always look WAY better when they've been trimmed by Simplethanks, but it's hard to tell HOW they were trimmed. It all looks healthy and natural and lovely. AND they clean up after themselves wonderfully! So glad to have their help.

Lexy came out and assessed the health of a tree I was concerned about in my back yard. He called when he was on his way which I very much appreciated. He educated me on how to get the tree healthy again and was very down to earth. I appreciated his candor and friendliness. Another company told me the tree needed to come down and quoted me close to $3000 to do it. I’m glad I got a second opinion from a more honest tree service.

We have a small but heavily and diversely wooded yard, and have been partnering with Lexy and his team for four years now. I'm always quick to tell the fly by night companies that show up unannounced on our street that we already have tree experts: Simple Thanks!

We have had Simplethanks do a few projects around our yard, and we've been very happy with he results each time. Lexy and his team are professional, prompt, friendly, and do excellent work. We were also very happy with the clean-up work they did after the main projects were completed. We would highly recommend Lexy and SimpleThanks to anyone looking for quality work at affordable prices.

I can’t say enough good things about SimpleThanks Tree Care. Lexy Lewis and his team provided outstanding service from the beginning of the process to end.

We first called SimpleThanks Tree Care because of the many neighbors in our area that recommended them. Our neighborhood has a lot of mature trees, of which we had two in our backyard.

Lexy came over to inspect our trees in the summer of 2018 and it was then that I realized that he and his team are not just tree cutters, but true arborists. To my surprise, he recommended we keep the large oak tree, and, rather than cutting it down, have it pruned. He provided a proposal with several options for the oak tree that fit our needs as well as our budget. He also pointed out that our ash tree was suffering from emerald ash borer. He provided several solutions and budget-friendly options for the ash tree, as well; one such option was to salvage the tree by treating it over a period of time. That summer we decided to go ahead with the pruning of the oak and postponed the treatment of the ash.

Brian and Bryan came to prune the oak within a couple of weeks and did a fantastic job. It ended up taking them two days because of the size of the tree, but, happily, the price remained the same as quoted. These men worked hard on the oak tree for two days straight. Once it was completed it looked beautiful and they left the yard spotless! They cleaned all of the tree limbs and chipped all the wood that they cut—I couldn’t believe how clean the yard was!

This past spring I again hired Lexy and his crew at SimpleThanks Tree Care to assess the ash tree. Unfortunately, the tree had died and needed to be removed. The work was completed while we were away and again, Brian and Bryan did amazing work and the yard was as spotless as if they’d never been there.

I cannot recommend anyone other than SimpleThanks Tree Care for those with tree needs. These guys are professional and have excellent customer service skills!

Most recently, Lexy and his team returned in the spring of 2025 to again prune the large oak tree. The guys did an amazing job and I'm glad I hired them again. They know their trees and whenever they come to trim the tree they leave the yard cleaner than it was before they arrived!

Simplethanks Tree Care is simply the best tree care business in the Greater Cincinnati area. Their professionalism, knowledge and attention to detail far surpass that of your typical arborist outfit. We reached out for a consultation regarding several trees on our property that appeared to be in trouble. With the help of Lexy & the Simplethanks crew, we were able to draw a conclusion on which trees were worth saving and which were beyond repair. The job was done with care and precision, and we (and our trees) couldn’t be happier! If you’re searching for competent tree experts that put pride into their work look no further!

We had a fairly hard job for SimpleThanks. Previous owners had let 8 trees grow too close to our new house. None were easy to access by crane and over our house and on a steep hill. In collecting bids OTHER tree services recommended Simple Thanks as the best crew for the job. Lexy and his crew did an amazing job dropping 8(!!) large mature trees in one day, left our yard and drive in immaculate shape, and even chunked the nicest ones for firewood for me to split later. We could not be happier and top it all, they even had the best bid too. Bargain price for a job well above and beyond. Highest recommendation from us

I contact Lexy @ Simplethanks Tree Care for to quote some tree removal and trimming I needed. Their pricing was extremely reasonable, and his team came out and did great work. They were especially careful around some plants my wife was concerned about being damaged. They were very quick, and hauled away everything. One of the trees was in Duke's easement, and Lexy provided the contact information and tips on how to get them to come out and remove it. Very helpful! Would recommend 100%

Second time using lexy and the crew for tree removal service. The crew is professional, highly skilled and the guys’ are super personable and friendly. They genuinely love what they do and are trustworthy. In my opinion, that’s super rare!

Simple thanks was a pleasure to work with. Lexy and his crew are knowledgeable and skilled certified arborists. Beside providing excellent care in removing our 90 year old Silver Maple worked patiently with us to deal with the three neighbor project for our ‘property line’ tree.
They detailed the options available in regard to the tree’s health and the neighbors’ concerns. We are very impressed with their expertise, and thoroughness.
The removal of our tree and the ‘clean up’ were accomplished expediently and with care.

SimpleThanks Tree Care is a wonderful business. Lexi gave us great information and recommendations and the crew who cut our trees did a great job. We will definitely use SimpleThanks again!

SimpleThanks has a caring, expert, excellent team. They’ve removed several trees for us, and skillfully brought limbs down in tricky spots while avoiding nearby wires/building/ other trees. We highly recommend this company.

They are neat and efficient, very reasonably priced and clean up meticulously after their work. I would definitely recommend them for anyone who needs trees removed.

Lexi from Simplethanks Tree Care was super professional, providing detailed estimate/pricing communication and kept us posted on timeline changes. The job was completed exactly as expected and he and his crew completed the job exactly as expected. I will for sure use their services again when I need tree service. They won't disappoint.

From the initial consultation through the clean-up from my tree trimming, Lexi and his crew could not have been more professional or personable. It is clear that they all truly care about the health of the trees and the satisfaction of the customer. Dave used a handsaw on the smaller branches, and all the cuts were carefully and meticulously done. I am absolutely delighted with their work and their attitude.

Simplethanks Tree Care did a wonderful service for me. They communicated with me in a timely fashion. They were prompt, safe while doing the work , and did an excellent job cleaning up. I will definitely use this company again. Rick

This company is by far the best I’ve worked with. Lexy is knowledgeable and easy to work with. I’ve worked with several tree services in the past, but Simplethanks far exceeds them all. They have a great crew. In addition, they are fairly priced. My entire neighborhood seems to use them. I encourage you to do the same.

Lexy and his team did a great job trimming up a large oak in front of our house. They continually picked up after themselves and left the yard cleaner than when they arrived. I recommend SimpleThanks Tree Care to anyone searching for a professional team to help maintain their trees.

I cannot praise Simple Thanks and its employees enough! What a superb experience from start to finish. Lexy is an arborist’s arborist: he has exceptional knowledge of tree biology and care techniques, and he has a team that demonstrates the same expertise and skill. Not to mention, what a heck of a nice group of people to work with. They were all so warm, respectful, and kind, just like Lexy.

They worked on a one-hundred-year-old red maple and a one-hundred-year-old hackberry tree in my yard. The red maple was particularly challenging in that it grows in a narrow area between my home and my neighbor’s house, and a large portion of the canopy was resting on my neighbor’s roof. I watched as they strategized each move to remove the branches that were resting on my neighbor’s house while preserving as much of the canopy as possible. The cuts were beautifully made, and unlike other tree companies that just prune, this crew is always conscious of holistically pruning to keep the tree healthy. They also expertly installed three cables in the red maple.

The whole crew is well trained in safety techniques, and they take no shortcuts. They took the time to ease each pruned limb down to the ground with extreme care, never hitting my home, my neighbor’s home, or the suspended wires in the area. They left my yard in immaculate condition.

You can count on a detailed estimate with prices that are more than fair and excellent communication throughout. I can’t tell you how many tree care companies I have hired over the years since I have been the volunteer caretaker of the 7-acre Mt. Washington Cemetery for 38 years and I arrange for all the tree work there, but I can’t recommend any other tree care company as highly as Simple Thanks.

Perfect customer experience from start to finish. The front office was timely and responsive to my first request about having someone come out to assess and quote my property. We talked through everything on site, answering all of my questions and providing the right level of detail for me to make comfortable decisions. On day of the work, the team was on time, running like a well-oiled machine with no surprises. The take down and clean up was as good as you can get and we can now rest comfortably knowing our problem-trees are handled. Couldn't recommend this crew enough. Will continue to use them for any needs I have. Handled 4 trees about twice the height of my house.
