Needed a stump removed and I tried so many companies, most of whom never even responded. The ones that did respond were either extremely expensive, or they didn't have the proper machine that would come down my incline to get to the stump. Plus one other company who couldn't get me on the schedule anytime soon. Mills was very quick to respond and scheduled me in sooner than I was hoping. The price was the lowest quote I had gotten, and when the day came they were on time, if not a few minutes early, and did a great job. They cleaned up after themselves as well which was unexpected. Definitely got lucky finding them. If I need any tree services in the future I know where to go. Can't be the communication and price. Thanks again! read more

Came to see job within a day. Assumed it would be a few weeks before it was started. They called and arrived within a day. Finished clean fast nice work. read more

I had Mills back for another round of dead tree removal, but this time I was not as pleased with the service. The team was in a hurry and did not do as quality a job as the first time I worked with them. Things were a bit sloppy, with some of the dead trees striking and scarring living trees on the way down, and a miscommunication about a line wrap which dropped a large branch on a living tree and damaged it. I know these guys are really good at what they do, so I think this was probably just a bad day for them, but I think they should schedule jobs so they are not in a rush, and always operate with the same quality of service they used the first time I worked with them, where they went above and beyond to clean up the yard and worked very carefully to protect the living trees. I'll probably give them another try sometime, but I did want to post this constructive feedback for their team. Thanks! read more

Great service! Originally we were going to have 2 large limbs removed that hung over our house. Then we had an Ailanthus tree fall from our yard onto our neighbors fence. So THAT needed to go, as well as the remaining 2 ailanthus trees. Then as we looked at the tree with the large limbs, of course then we see it was rotten at the top. So that huge tree also needed to go. Bottom line was we spent way more that we had initially hoped, but once the crew was working it was easy to see why it cost what it did. They had an amazing piece of equipment that fit into the backyard and was able to reach way up to the tree top. The crew did a fantastic job of removing the trees without hitting our roof, the fence, the neighbors house and fence, etc. They also did a wonderful job of cleaning up after the removal, and it at our request left us some oak firewood, nicely stacked. I would not hesitate to hire them again. I had gotten several other quotes before going with Mills. It was hard to compare quotes because we ended up doing more work that initially planned, but we are glad we did the additional work. read more

What a great team! The Mills operate this family-owned business and are great people - responsive, thorough, and professional. The entire work crew of 6, including the owners, worked diligently and efficiently. 7 trees down, 7 stumps ground, debris removal, cleanup, and chipping - wonderful job! I recommend, wholeheartedly, Mills Tree Service! I shall use them again in the fall! read more

Burgess and team were great. They displayed unparalleled understanding of their work and were a pleasure to work with. Burgess is also quite fearless! Just take a look at the attached photos. He climbed the tree like he was born to do it, and then he expertly "took it apart" one limb at a time using a highly coordinated rope-based pulley system to pass the limbs down one at a time to the team below to take to the wood chipper or to haul. His price was quite fair as well. I would not hesitate to do business mills again. read more

Mills Tree Service did GREAT work for me, and I can't say enough good things. I requested quotes from several tree services here on Yelp to have a tree removed. Burgess responded quickly, gave me a rough quote based on photos, then a definite quote within the next few days. He was patient with us while we worked with the District to get a hazardous tree removal permit, and once we had permit in hand, he was ready to come remove the tree within five days! He does not mess around. So on the morning of our tree removal, Burgess and crew arrived with three guys, a chipper, and a stump grinder, which (thankfully) fit down our alley, getting pretty close to the back gate. Removing the ENTIRE tree, and grinding the stump, took a total of about two hours. Again, no messing around. The tree removal itself was a model of efficiency and safety. Burgess was up the tree with the chain saw, and the rest of the crew wrangled branches on the ground. I hereby declare Burgess "Master of the Fulcrum" -- he would sling a rope over a higher branch and tie it to the branch being removed. A few cuts with the chainsaw, and the branch would swing free, reliably clearing fence posts and a light pole. The crew removed the rope and drag the branch off to the chipper. Repeat for two solid hours. Then a few minutes of stump grinding, and a few more minutes of clean-up in our yard, in the adjacent playground, and in the alley. Conclusion: Mills is just plain good at tree removal. And judging by Burgess' attitude, they are probably good at everything else they do too. From this experience, they are an honest, efficient, reliable, and hard-working company. I would call them again in a heartbeat. If I had any more trees :( read more

Ridiculously overpriced. The company came over and quoted us a fortune for a dead tree that another company ended up cutting for $150. Please consult other companies before you hire this company. read more

These guys came through in the clutch. I had a dead cherry tree fall in my backyard in a Saturday afternoon. I was shook and wanted to get it resolved immediately. After speaking with my insurance company, they said I could get a quote and proceed. Mills was the only company that I called and someone picked up on a Saturday. Burgess gave me his number and told me to text him some pictures and he would give me a quote based on those. He quoted me a price to remove the fallen tree and the damaged play set. We scheduled him to come on Thursday. He stopped by on Monday to look at things and then after someone changed schedules he brought a crew to do the work on Wednesday. The entire crew was friendly, easy to talk to and just really helpful. They took the time to point out some dead branches that I might want to get removed as well as a recommendation for taking down some smaller trees that would help keep the bigger trees healthier. I bought the extra services and Mills worked with me on the price. I'd recommend these guys again! read more

Me.We had a cherry tree that was infested with Carpenter ants and termites and was in our townhomes back yard. The space wss small and the tree was big. I put out for about 5 different quotes. Mills and other quotes were along the same amount, but some thing set Mills apart that made me choose Mills over the others was the flexibility of the staff in communicating with me ( sometimes on the phone, over text etc) and the fact they sent out someone to give me an estimate on Saturday. Tommy came out, was able to explain to me what exactly was going to happen and how much it would cost. He was honest about some things I asked but it was an easy process. The actual tree removal happened quick. We scheduled a date, my wife was home, she said they were quick, picked up any mess they made. The tree forked in to my neighbors backyard and they were great about being careful in their property too. Removal of a 20+ ft cherry tree was about 2 hours. Happy with the service and would recommend Mills. read more

So, I initially gave this service a bad review because they told me they couldn't come out to my area, when I could clearly see online that they had serviced areas at least as far out as mine. I honestly thought that they were avoiding my zipcode for socio-economic/racial reasons. However, right after I posted my initial review, a representative contacted me and told me that they would love to get to my house, but they couldn't manage it at the moment because they were swamped with fallen trees from a recent storm. She apologized for any misunderstanding, and said that she'd be happy to add me to the list of non-essential jobs. Once she explained, I understood immediately what was going on, in a way that wasn't expressed by the initial email. I want to give this business kudos for responding immediately to potential customers who felt slighted and didn't understand why. I can't offer any review as to their work, but their customer service is spot on! I have given "disappointing" reviews before, and this is the first time anyone has called me to sort something out. I wish this company the best. read more

WOW! Great work & reasonable priced. What a huge difference their hard work made.Very nice & polite. Even saved a squirrels nest out of the tree. That's customer service :) Would recommend them to anyone needing tree work! Thanks again guys! read more

I hired Burgess and his crew to remove two weed trees and trim another tree in my backyard. Burgess was very responsive. He replied to my quote request almost immediately, gave a reasonable quote, showed up for the job on time the very next day, and completed the work including the cleanup within 1 and half hours. I'm very impressed with the quality and speed of the work. This is probably the best experience I had with any home service companies. Highly recommend it. read more

I had a large maple partially fall from a storm one inch from my house...whew! After looking on Yelp and asking for responses through Yelp, Mills was the most efficient in getting back in touch with me, in one hour, and at my house same day to give me a quote. So easy. I hired them to finish cutting the oak down, and two other trees. The crew arrived right on time, and were efficient and professional. While they were here, I talked about two other trees that had limbs leaning on my house and asked what they thought. They were very knowledgeable and told me the trees were white oaks and completely healthy and walked me through what could be trimmed from house and we negotiated a good price. Icing on the cake was the crew was wonderful to do some extra work that they saw needed to be done with no additional cost. Very nice gentlemen. All praise!. Would certainly use them again. read more

Recently hired Mills Tree Service to have 3 full grown trees cut down and one trimmed. Trees were close to the house, but wasn't a problem for them at all. They did great job cutting all the trees and cleaning up/hauling afterwards. I received 4 quotes and Mills Tree Service was very competitive on pricing and had great ratings, which is why I chose them. Professional and courteous team and they had all the right equipment to cut the trees and grind the stumps/roots. I would definitely hire them again if I need tree removal service. read more

Mills Tree Service has done it again. Prompt, courteous, professional, thorough, and fast. Thanks, Burgess and team!

Excellent service, fantastic price, and a beautiful result. We had 4 ornamental pear trees, 2 fir trees, and 1 large maple tree removed. Mills Tree Service were easy to work with and also kindly accommodated some requests like cutting a slice of the tree for the previous owners and leaving some behind to use as firewood. I would absolutely use them again in the future. read more

We had a big dead tree threatening the house. I contacted Mills via yelp including a picture of the tree. I got a quick response with a reasonable quote. We followed up with a phone call to discuss schedule. Next week the tree was removed. I love to work with companies that communicate well and follow through. Mills is such a company. read more

After contacting Mills Tree Service - we setup an appointment for an estimate to have 10-12 huge and decaying Leyland Cypress trees removed. They explained the process, including stump grinding and debris removal. The price was reasonable so I texted them to confirm and they promptly followed up and provided the written proposal, with all of the details that were discussed - which was comforting. We signed & returned the contract, and were added to the the schedule. They arrived promptly this morning - with a crew, wood chipper, ladders, tree climbing equipment, chainsaws, grinders, blowers and who knows what :) - They were prepared!! They were a well oiled machine, completing the many tree removals, grinding the stumps, hauling away tree trunks, placing limbs into chippers, planted new trees, and cleaned up with a blower - leaving everything better than when they arrived - wow! They were professional, organized and efficient, with a very friendly demeanor - which is always nice - Thank You for making this so easy and pleasant! We truly appreciate great service and Mills Nailed it!! read more

We had about seven large trees hanging over our house that needed trimming and a bunch of poplar trees that had taken over some of our landscaping. I don't think Mills Tree Service has a receptionist or scheduler, so the scheduling part was a little off - I called, didn't get a response, forgot about it, five days later as I was leaving for a trip got a call that they were on their way to our house. Once we were able to coordinate our schedules, Tommy came out and I was very impressed with how knowledgeable he was and his recommendations. The quote was very competitive and specifically the quote to remove the poplars and fix the landscaping was half the price of our normal landscaping service. I was not home while they did the work; I arrived home as they were just finishing up and was blown away at how great it looked. They went above and beyond. I could not believe how good it looked and how neat everything was. It was the best our yard has looked in years. There is no question that I would give them five stars, despite the slightly unorganized scheduling, their level of service, attention to detail, and knowledge of trees far exceeded my expectations. read more

They did a good job overall. Very informative, respectful, attentive, and worked fast.

I recently bought a property in Warrenton that had entirely too many 100 foot plus poplar trees within 20 feet of the house. Burgess and the guys were truly artists in removal quickly and without any damage. They were easy to work with and reasonable with small extra requests. They were at this place 4 days total and took down 23 trees as well as pruned up one tree with some "tree sized" limbs of its own. They work well together and don't take specific breaks, so the work is more or less continuous. They have the right equipment to navigate tight spaces for minimal yard damage as well as removal of large amounts of wood. If you call, you are likely to get a voice mail but they do call back pretty quickly and keep you informed. I thought the price was quite reasonable for the work done (I have a lot of experience with hiring tree services). These days it is hard to find honest and hard working folks like Mills. Thanks to Burgess and the guys! read more

Never answered. Never responded. UPDATE: after posting this review I received a call within 30 mins explaining there were some kind of unexpected health issues. I told them OK, fine, at least email or leaving a message is better than no contact at all. read more

I was extremely pleased with Mills Tree Service. All of the men were very professional and had great teamwork. The three trees that they felled were very close to my house and their team managed to get them all down without a problem. I asked to keep the wood and they moved it past the wood line so it was out of my yard. I would highly recommend this company if you need someone to help with yard work or tree work. read more

Fantastic service and professional work. They fit us in on short notice to take care of a large dead tree and two other large trees in a tight back yard. All work including clean up was done quickly and professionally. We will be using them again. Highly recommend! read more

I needed some tree pruning, and a tree removed, and Mills Tree Service was reasonable, speedy, and did a great job. They even hauled off my kids' old swing set free of charge! read more

They were absolutely outstanding to work with! Reasonably priced, showed up same day to give us a quote, scheduled us for four days later, and did an amazing job cleaning up after their quick work! They even hauled away our mulch after we realized that we had about two feet that had piled up under the tree over the years. Would highly recommend them! read more

We hired Mills to remove a large silver maple too close to our house, pine tree and grind out a number of stumps and roots. Mills was quick to respond to our initial inquiry and come out for a quote. Their price was very fair. The day of the service a crew arrived and worked consistently until the job was done. I am extremely pleased with the quality of work and level of professionalism. Considering how big the job was, they left the yard in great shape. I would absolutely refer them to clients and neighbors. read more

They came, they saw(ed), they conquered, lol... I couldn't resist. Mills Tree Service got the job done for a great price. Their scheduling wasn't as seamless as it could have been but they took down a tree that I needed taken down and did a great job. Guys were nice and they were in and out pretty quickly. read more

Five star job - needed a small tree removed that was right up next to the electrical wires in front of the house. Mills did the job quickly and expertly, cleaned up everything perfectly. Communication was easy. After the job, they pointed out a serious issue with another tree that definitely needs to come down. I appreciate them doing that and they'll be the first and only tree service company that I'll call. read more

We needed a few trees taken down in our backyard that were touching the house and close to the fence line. Mills came in well below another quote we received. They were prompt in their communications and the work was done very efficiently with multiple men making quick work, safely. read more

Very professional service. Estimate was on point, less than the other one we had received, which was fairly reasonable already. Within 3 days of our accepting the estimate (there was a weekend involved), they scheduled the work. We had a pine tree--that we thought would grow to be no more than a bush--that needed to come down on the front corner of our house. I think it was the squirrels' entry point into the attic. Anyway, the crew showed up today, knocked to let me know they were here, and proceeded to efficiently take the beast down. They were so smooth and quick--obviously not their first rodeo! Thanks Mills Tree Service. You did a fantastic job from first phone calls to job completion! read more

I interviewed six tree services for an estimate and the gave me one I was comfortable with. They had the right equipment, the right amount of crew, and didn't even take a break until it was done! They came out the next morning because we had a tree come down in a wind strom. They were meticulous in cleanup and haul away. Their equipment was very efficient and took less than 4 hours to take down a 60-foot pine tree that had fallen on our house. They took it down with absolutely no additional damage and even saved our Holly tree that the pine was tangled in. I can't say enough good things about them. We highly recommend them! read more

Mills Tree Service did a great job of removing a large dead tree and doing a nice job of cleaning up afterwards at a very fair price. It was very interesting to watch the carefully orchestrated step by step cutting down of the tree. read more

The horrible storm last Thursday ripped through trees in my back yard. I had to go through homeowners insurance, and Mills Tree Service came out the same day I contacted them to give an estimate. They followed up with me the next day. The insurance questioned the estimate and contacted my insurance; and I received the full payment. Mills came out early Monday morning and took care of it. The owner even offered to fix my fence if I had the wood. Fantastic guys, amazing work, and fair pricing. I will always use them for future tree work. They also did a great job on my ex-husbands yard. read more

Had a small job. They were very flexible on price, communicated well, and got the job done quickly. Very pleased!

Mills Tree Service just finished taking down a tree and stump ground in the front yard. I took them about 30 mins. They had plenty of personnel, brand new trucks, brand new equipment, and they knew what they were doing. They were able to give me a quote over the phone and worked with me on the price. The crew was very professional and friendly. I highly recommend Mills Tree Service if you want the job done right. read more
