McKinney Brothers Tree Service was recommended and from beginning to end, Kimberly promptly contacted me back and the owner Kirk and his crew had 2 trees trimmed at my late parents home so grass could grow.

I could not be happier with this family owned business that are pleasant and care about customers and getting the job done in a timely manner. Thank you so much! Steven G.

Stay away from this company! Way overpriced and lack practical knowledge and expertise. We hired…read morethem in the spring '25 and they failed to recognize a fungal disease that was infecting 7 trees instead blaming it on "typical winter damage." After spending several hundred dollars on fertilizer treatments and more than a thousand dollars on pruning, the trees likely need to be replaced (see the picture below and decide for yourself whether you would hire this crew). The company representative had the audacity to blame the situation on me suggesting that I should have contacted them earlier. Terrible way to treat customers, especially when this company is so expensive. Terrible service, terrible quality and even worse value. Fair warning. you should look elsewhere for your tree care needs.

Went with Lopez Landscaping since they had the smaller equipment and manpower to get the job done. The tree was quickly removed but it was a 3 star maybe 3.5 star experience because of the additional work needed to coordinate everything. The good: - competitive quote and they were able to come by quickly to assess the work - flexible in bringing equipment that worked with tight openings - main tree removal was done in 5 hours - removed paver stones so they wouldn't be damaged by machinery - friendly and professional. They accommodated a special request to cut a section for a table The bad: - rescheduling was a huge pain. We had to go back and forth for 3 weeks and I had to proactively follow up to confirm if they were coming - unable to grind the stump as part of the initial quote so had to pay another $400 for them to come back with a different machine - never got an invoice despite asking for one multiple times To summarize, this seems to be a nice family business that has experience removing trees quickly. However, it doesn't appear there is a back office that keeps everything organized so you're going to have to do a lot of work to stay on top of things.

They also pruned several large shade trees (removal of 8-10 limbs per tree). The owner Michael was very quick to respond to my phone call and came by to give an estimate within two days. Once we decided to give them the job (they were the best of three quotes), they started within about 2 weeks and it took 3 days. The crew showed up precisely at 8am each morning and was extremely professional and courteous. The tree we had removed was massive and there were wires in the way, but they were so efficient and precise they made it look easy. Even our neighbors commented on what a great job they did. They took extensive measures to make sure our landscaping was not harmed. They placed large metal plates on our grass where the bucket truck parked so the lawn wouldn't be damaged. They were very cautious around the stonework and they even tied back our bamboo to keep it out of harm's way. When the job was done the only sign that they had been there (besides the missing tree) was some saw dust on the dirt that they weren't able to sweep up. Also, the shade tree pruning was done exactly to my specifications. I have only great things to say about Bark Busters and highly recommend them.
