We've had Korte come out twice to cut down some honey locust trees for us - not everyone will cut these trees down because they have huge thorns. We have them scheduled to take down the last of the those trees for us this summer (2016). We've always been very satisfied with their work. They are good about coming out and giving bids for the work. They stick by their bid price. They ask a fair price - not cheap, but not too expensive. They are very good at what they do. They clean up very well once the trees are down. I've never had a problem with them being rude - so I don't know what could have been the issue with one of the other reviews here on Yelp. read more

Great service and very knowledgeable. I had a stump removed and they did a great job and were actually early. I didn't have to wait around. Plus, it was a good price. read more

Great group with locations in Jefferson City and Columbia. Tree removal pricing is competitive with other local tree removal services.

I saw this company getting rid of limbs in my neighborhood and I asked them if they could help me get rid of some limbs that I needed to get rid of. They came right over and did it for me while working for another person. I an so appreciative of them since I wasn't sure how I was going to get rid of them by myself. I called them to thank them and they were super nice and helpful! read more

Great professional service. I have used them several times. They have trimmed my trees and done an excellent job! This year they removed two trees and grinded the stumps. Always reasonable prices and professional service. I highly recommend them. read more

Very helpful to us in removing two trees and grinding out the stumps. Friendly, prompt, and informative service. We'll contact them again if we need similar services in the future. read more

I worked for Josh Korte in his tree-care service a few times, years ago because I needed work and was willing to try anything until I found something permanent. I haven't talked to him in years but I wouldn't have anybody but him take out a tree or do landscaping for me. He earned my loyalty as a customer through his behavior as an employer! He is a kind and honorable man and it shows in how he does business. He's very caring and will go the extra mile, even when he's busy, and will do all he reasonably can to help customers, even if it means referring you to someone else who is in a better position to help. If you want someone who will show you personal care and either get the job done or help you find the person who can, call Korte! read more

Great job! Real arborist, not a fly by night company. But their price was very reasonable! Would definitely recommend them to anyone.

I shot Korte an email requesting a quote to cut down the nightmare of a tree in my front yard. When I bought the house I didn't realize the huge tree in front was a Gum tree that would rain down thousands and thousands of these little spiky balls all fall & winter long. I was gonna pay anything to be rid of it. Korte called me a couple days later and advised they would remove it for quite a bit less than I was expecting, but that I would be wise to contact the city as they might remove it for free. It was close to powelines on two sides, on a busy street. I called the city and sure enough they agreed to remove it, saving me a small fortune. It's not everyday a company volunteers information like that, costing themselves business, and I really appreciated it. The only reason I'm not giving them five stars is I can't fairly rate their work as I never hired them. But I give them five stars for honesty/integrity. read more

As a family of tree lovers, we were looking for a certified arborist to help us to determine the trees that would need to be removed or trimmed back prior to rebuilding our deck. Josh Korte eased our minds where some trees were concerned and explained concerns and things to watch for concerning the health of some of our other trees. He is a good man with fantastic integrity. He will not take trees that do not need to be taken unless you decide it is needed. His quote was perfectly in line with other "non-arborist" companies and had us on his schedule within just a couple of weeks. He waited until he knew the land was dry enough to handle the equipment and called to say they were ready to remove the trees. His crew was on time, and did a fantastic job. All together, they removed 5 trees. His Crew chief Eric was amazingly skilled as he carefully maneuvered the bucket throughout our tree filled back yard, trimming the dead wood out of our many other trees. He preserved the shape and integrity as he went by personally checking branches by hand for life, before trimming. The crew used pads to protect the lawn, ground out 9? stumps, raked the lawn cleaning up all debris, and were on there way in 2 hours time. All of it was done with smiles on their faces. We highly recommend Josh and his Crew. read more
