Tree reviews in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Crawford Tree & Landscape Services first initially came out to my home to bring down a large pine tree in my front yard. They did such a wonderful job, I hired them to come back and landscape the area where the tree use to be planted. From start to finish, the team was so great to work with! Kevin listened to my ideas and worked collaboratively with me, while Kathryn and Heriberto did a wonderful job digging up the yard and planting the flowers and mulch. Everything was great. I'm going to have them definitely come back to work with me on the next stage of my landscaping project!

Hi Steve:

Terri and I love the new updated look. It really fits our home. It gives a beautiful curb appeal. Zack, Katheryn and Josh were great and very personable to work with. They were open and very helpful with questions during the project. There was definitely some hard work involved even for our 5 by 20 foot landscaping project and after it was done they made it look easy.

I also appreciated you stopping by when you quickly figured out how do resolve the down spout issue. It worked out perfect and the crew immediately worked in the last minute changes.

Thank you for a professional performance.

Sincerely,

Len Radde.

CTL was great to work with! The arborist, Jarod, was responsive and explained everything in detail and clearly cares very much for the health of the trees and environment. The crew, Connor and Paul, showed up quicker than I expected and did a great job in a timely manner (and didn't leave a mess)! Looking forward to working with them again in the future.

Crawford was incredible to work with! Steve and his team were helpful and VERY patient as we worked our way through what trees we wanted to plant in our yard. When the day came for planting they went above and beyond with a few of our ad hoc requests.
I asked if they could just set aside a section of the sod they had to remove so I could fill in a bare spot on my lawn. Before I knew it they had prepped the lawn and installed the sod for me!
We already have plans to work with them again next spring.

We had a beautiful Emperor Japanese Maple planted today.

The staff at Crawford Tree was terrific. We worked with Mitchell Pierce who answered all my questions and picked out the perfect tree. He said "The maple will be a showstopper!" Zach and Jayden did an awesome job planting and got it in just the right spot.

Everyone was professional and courteous. We would highly recommend Crawford Tree & Landscape Services.

Thank you so much! Carol & Will

Great company! We are currently working with them on a tree we are desperately hoping to save, and the crew came yesterday to take samples to assess the health of the tree. I loved getting the quote, and then discussing additions to our yard after Joe saw what a disaster it was! The crew who came yesterday, Mark and Chris, were very helpful, and careful of the property. They made sure I didn't have any questions before they got to work, and were super fast! I'm hoping I don't have to use their services to take the tree down, and can improve my yard instead. Thank you!

We had a great experience with the entire team at Crawford Tree. Everything from the professional, responsive, knowledgeable and competitive estimate with Jarod to the timely, safe and efficient service of Victor, Chris, Paul J and Isaiah. I would not hesitate to use their services again and would highly recommend them for any of your tree and landscaping needs. P.S. The kids had so much fun watching them...and they even used some of the wood from the tree to create a climbing log for the kids.

We are very happy to have worked with Crawford Tree!! 100% recommended by our household.

First and foremost, I'm a huge fan of people who still do business the RIGHT WAY. It's the little things that matter most to people I know: calling someone back promptly when they reach out .. Showing up when you say you will .. Following up to see if any questions exist. We coordinated our work with Joe, and he checked all those boxes and more.

When Joe came out to give us a free estimate, he was honest about his professional suggestions, upfront with us about what costs we would be looking at for our project (Pruning a massive black walnut tree, and a growth treatment), and covered the timeline and process for the work completely. He was knowledgeable, informative, and showed integrity throughout.

The work was performed by Paul J, Kathryn, and Sam Y .. and we couldn't be more pleased with the results! The team knocked everything out on the day they arrived, and completely cleaned up afterwards. You'd never know they were there (unless you look UP). Kudos for a job well done!

Thank you all, we have already recommended you to people we know, and will continue to do so. You rock!

Great to work with and did an excellent job. Competitive pricing too. I will definitely recommend them. Paul, Kathryn, Naznem, and Chris were very professional.

We’ve had Crawford out to our home for tree work, lawn maintenance, design, and install. They’re professional and thorough in their work. Can’t say enough about the people also, they’re particularly great listeners and communicators.

I recently used Crawford to remove two giant willows, and the experience was excellent! The sales rep, Greg, was friendly, broadly knowledgeable and took lots of time to explain everything including various options. He checked back with me on site several times during the three day process. The crew was exceptional— Victor, Austin, Shawna, Trevor, Sam, Amber and John Paul. They worked nonstop from early morning until dark, leaving the cut sites cleaned-up at the end of each day. The crew was also friendly and knowledgeable. I was especially impressed with Victor, the team lead, who was always the first to arrive and last to leave.
I knew my massive trees would be expensive to remove, but when I saw the seven person crew work so hard, plus Greg, and the multiple trucks and machines (usually four on site), I understood the costs. More notably, the final bill was less than I had imagined.
I plan to recommend Crawford to everyone I know and to call on them in the spring to help me plan a new landscape.

Ken, Dale, and Jayden were excellent! Night and day from the last company we used. We were so impressed by the meticulous care they took with our plantings. And Steve was a fantastic guide along the way. They all have definitely made repeat customers of us!

This crew came out 2 times to take care of 5 separate trees. They were awesome. Work was done in less than a day each visit and the prices couldn’t be beat.

Crawford Tree & Landscape Services did a great job with the removal of four trees. They were very prompt, reasonably priced and fast. Stump grinding was good too. Thanks Victor, Cole, and Heriberto!

Update 02/2026: We had Crawford return this winter to do extensive pruning of several oak trees, cable a split trunk, and take down a large spruce in a tight space between our house and the neighbor. The crew (Victor, Anthony, and Kat) was friendly, knowledgable, and took care to clean up the yard as much as possible when the job was done. We felt the price was reasonable for the amount of work that was done and wouldn't hesitate to call them for work in the future.

I approached one of Crawford's crew members when they were doing work down the street and asked if they might be willing to hang up a tree swing from a large oak on our property. They were very friendly despite this being an atypical job for them and got me in touch with the owner, who came out in person within the week to discuss the job and answer some questions we had about other trees in our yard. Joseph was friendly, knowledgable, and honest about what other work did and didn't need to be done in the future, and we most appreciated that he got the crew- Victor, Chris, and Isaiah- back to hang up two swings within a few weeks during their busiest season, just in time for our daughter's birthday. We watched the work and they were incredibly skilled and cautious, and cleaned up any small branches from the yard when they were done. The two swings are exactly what we envisioned and our daughter is beyond thrilled. We will absolutely plan to use them for any tree trimming or removal that we need in the future.

We have loved working with Crawford! Steve came out to provide a free consultation and quote, and from the beginning, he understood our overall goals very well and was able to create a plan that was good for our yard and respectful of our budget. He has also been very prompt with communication, which is greatly appreciated.

We had two dying trees removed by Jarod and his team (Kathryn, Paul, and Damian), and their work was very clean and careful - which was extra important, as both trees were touching our house.

The second part of our project involved a major clean-up in a large landscaping bed. We couldn't believe how efficiently the team (Kathryn, Heriberto, and Angel) worked to complete the project, and we are thrilled with the result!

We would gladly recommend Crawford to friends and family, and look forward to working with them for the additional phases of our projects in the future.

We are new homeowners and new to landscaping, but Crawford has set a high bar. Our install crew members, Zach, Dale, and German, were courteous and efficient for the install day. I couldn't believe how much they got done in one day, and it looks really professional and polished. Steve is quick to offer advice and assistance as well, so we feel empowered to care for our new landscaping.

They were very nice, professional and told us what they were doing prior to starting. They took down our HUGE tree and did it quickly and professionally. They cleaned up all the mess, impeccably clean yard. They also were very respectful of our yard and didn't damage our grass! Highly recommended.

The Crawford team - Paul, Chris, Conor, Cole, Victor and Naznem were all friendly, efficient and good communicators. The work performed went great. We’ll definitely have future work for this service.

GREAT business. Punctual, cleaned up after themselves, no damages to the lawn, very courteous with removing lawn decor and putting them somewhere safe. They trimmed our huge sycamore tree and installed a cable to prevent splitting. The man who came to give us our quote was very educated about trees and intelligent. Easy going. The final pricing reflected the quote. I will recommend them 100x over

I met Freddy and Miguel yesterday, from Crawford Tree and Landscape. They were checking on my mom's hedge to see if it was ready for another cut. It is not, but they said they would be back near end of September to see if it needs one more cut before winter.

I just wanted to say here, that hedge has been my 94 year old mother's pride and joy for over 60 years, and every day she sits outside and talks about how wonderful it looks! She is so so happy with the work that your crew does. She said they do it even better than she ever did!

We had a family party there on Monday. My large family stops by often, and everybody has mentioned how great the hedge looks! It's as if they used a level on it! (When we used to do it, it always turned out kind of wavy and uneven).

Please pass on our compliments to Freddy and Miguel, and let them know we hope they continue to be assigned this task!

And our compliments to those who cut and blow the lawn and walks! Excellent work. We are so happy to have your service.
