Home Services reviews in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

We have hired Forester Tree Service twice in the past year. They have removed our dead ash trees. Very professional, good cleanup of yard and driveway afterwards.

Forester performed tree removal and crown cleaning of 4 other Maple trees. The work, including cleanup, was expertly done and completed in one morning.

We are very satisfied with Forester--from the representative who provided an onsite quote to the crew who did the work. A young arborist climbed the tree and literally "went out on a limb" to remove a dead branch that was caught in two forks of a live branch. Thank you.

Forester tree service came out and rectified the price issue and finished grinding the tree stump down.

This is a highly efficient company. The company has well cared for trucks, radio controlled equipment that get the job done quickly and efficiently. In less than two hours they removed a very large tree and cleaned up all brush and saw clippings in a very clean manner. I have worked with many contractors over many years and this contractor is among the best.

We had the crew remove a very tall pine tree and a crab apple tree. Kyle and Gunner did an outstanding job! They were very professional, communicative and thorough from start to finish. I highly recommend Forester Tree Service.

Earnesto came and took care of our tree srump and hedges. It was so well done. He had so much knowledge about tree and grass planting care it was really helpful for us. Their rates are very affordable and a thorough job. My neighbors commented on the look of my yard. He was considerate of the ammount of mess the process could make with the dirt and mud from.the rain. But he really made sure he had the area as clean as possible and made an extra call to me later recommending I get the water hose for the rest.when we got home the area looked pretty good with minimal dirt. But we totally saw how the rest of the cleanup could only be done with a water hose. We definitely plan to use them.again for any other tree projects or shrubs

The crew at Forester did an amazing job! High quality work done quickly with incredible machinery. We had a huge locust tree branch fall on our fence and garage and Dylan was the only one to actually pick up the phone out of several services we called and he was over within an hour of calling to assess the damage. Not only did he have a crew there the next morning (would have been the same day but it was pouring rain) but he dealt with our extremely difficult insurance company and was able to get them to pay for it all when we couldn’t get them to understand the severity of the situation. We’d book these guys again in a heartbeat! Thanks Dylan!

I had them removed three trees from the back of my yard. The contract listed clean up when finished. They left holes in my yard and also left all the wood chips behind. I tried stopping the workers to let them know that they were not finished. I was told that I misunderstood the contract and they were finished. I had to hire someone else to come and clean my yard and they found four roots left behind and when I asked them to come back out I was told they don’t remove tree roots and that’s part of the tree. I would never use them again. Poor service and poor customer support. I then had to hire a new person to remove the roots. If I could give them zero stars I would.

We just had the crew from Forester take down a huge honey locust tree. They arrived when they said they would and checked in with me before starting to make sure everyone was on the same page. It was amazing to watch them work with such accuracy. We had a fence about a foot away on one side of the tree and a mound system about 20 feet on the opposite side. Nothing was damaged. They were also careful to not damage a tall pine tree that was entwined with the branches. They had enough help and equipment to make the job safe and efficient. Thank you for great work. I will be recommending this company to others!

Forester gave us a quote to remove a dead Ash tree and prune a few of our other trees. The quote was competitive with other estimates we received however Forester was was able to use their crane to lift the tree out of our back yard witch left Zero lawn damage. They also had a lift that could fit through our gate to prune our other trees. The crew did a great job trimming the trees and cleaning up, the only thing left was a little bit of saw dust in the grass. Definitely willbe using them in the future!

A friend fell a rotten tree in my backyard but left the stump which became a trip hazard obstacle for most who came to visit. Forester came, used the stump grinder there and 2 other tree stumps, left by previous home owner. I couldn’t have been happier with the final result! Trip hazard gone for good!

Forester completed crown cleaning of a silver maple tree in my front yard. I am very pleased with the results and feel the crew did an excellent job of cleaning up once the trimming was complete. Great job!

I contracted with Forester Tree Service to remove a locust tree from my back yard in August. It was a difficult removal which required a truck with a boom to reach over the house. I anticipated some lawn damage from the truck's weight, as I was informed. When the job was complete there were deep ruts on the lawn which I was more than willing to repair. However, the truck also damaged the sidewalk leading to my front porch which will cost more than $2600 to repair. In all fairness, I was willing to compromise and negotiate with Forester on the cost of repairs. After waiting more than 2 weeks for a reply from the owner I had to call only to be told that they were unwilling to pay anything because my sidewalk had an existing crack. True, but that crack had nothing to do with the damage they caused as it is several feet away from the damage. The weight of the truck was simply not distributed properly. Additionally, they showed up unannounced and it took 2 months to complete the stump removal.

Very rude Foreman. They blocked off a whole street to cut down some branches, which is fine. However when I went to go past their operation, they yelled at ME to "go around the block" despite THEM having no proper signage that the road was blocked off. Terrible unsafe company.

Good part time job

I LOVE GIBBS CLEANING.

Do they ever answer the damn phone???

Becky seemed right. Very respectful

While they are a large company they have a very small business vibe and are easy to work with.

very unprofessional company, bad communication, don,t answer phones, don't come to the door, have to chase your money down, not a very good company to work for.
