Training Trees came out the same day I called about storm damage and provided an estimate quickly. Their pricing was fair, especially for such a complicated job. When the crew arrived, they showed up exactly when they said they would. Everyone was professional, safety-focused, and clearly knew their role. They worked efficiently, communicated well throughout the process, and did an excellent job cleaning everything up and hauling debris away afterward. I highly recommend Brandon and the entire crew at Training Trees. After talking with Brandon for only a short time, it's obvious how knowledgeable and experienced they are. You can immediately tell you're working with a trained, professional certified arborist who truly cares about doing the job right. We were so impressed that we already plan on hiring Training Trees again for additional maintenance work. read more

I mentioned to my neighbor that I was looking for a reliable tree-trimming company, and she immediately pointed me toward Brandon Shields, an ISA Certified Arborist. I reached out in the spring, and Brandon came by to look at our oak and elm trees. Instead of rushing into the job, he explained why trimming in the spring could hurt the trees and recommended waiting until late fall. I appreciated the honesty and the care he showed in setting us up for the best results. His quote was fair and didn't strain our budget, so we booked for November. When his team arrived, it was impressive to watch them work. They moved through the trees with real skill, were careful around our home, and left everything clean before they wrapped up. If you need someone you can trust with your trees, I'm happy to recommend Training Trees. Website: TrainingTrees.biz Phone: 816-569-5446 read more

Brandon is extremely knowledgeable about how to preserve the health of your trees while also helping to accomplish what you are wanting.

Brandon and his team are amazing! I had a tree fall on my house and he was able to come out the same day and help! They were quick and efficient. They had it all cleaned up and hauled away within three days. He even shared some knowledge about the other trees in the yard and area. Great pricing and definitely worth the time! I wanted to respect as much as I can when I needed tree trimming and removal, and this is definitely the place I'll be calling again!! read more

I have used this service before and did again today because I was so impressed last time. Very reasonable pricing and great customer service and a certified arborist at the helm. They removed a dying elm over 50 feet tall, ground the stump and roots, hauled off larger sections, chipped the rest, raked the yard clean, and all in under 5 hours. With a crew of 3. Five stars seems too low, but it only goes to five. Highly recommend. read more

Brandon at Training Trees is great!! Very professional. His website was very detailed and informative, leading me to reach out to him for his services. When we talked, I was very impressed with his knowledge and he educated us on when you can and can't trim trees to ensure their long term health! He does far more than "trim trees"!! He gave us several different options and his quote was very reasonable. He showed up when he said he would and we couldn't be happier with the results. We highly recommend his services!! read more

Brandon has been to my home several times to trim the many trees I have. They haul off all of that brush and other brush I have accumulated. The last time he was here he cut down several large bushes and hauled off everything. Also does an awesome job of making sure everything is cleaned up. His prices are the best I've found in my research. read more

Brandon came out and then emailed an estimate. The work was completed, removal of a tree and stump. I appreciate the clean-up afterwards. Will use Training Trees again. read more

Very happy with the service. Brandon and crew are very professional. Got the job done well, quickly, and promptly. Brandon took a look at a few other things in my backyard and didn't try to oversell me. I'll use them in the future and recommend you do, too. read more

Thank God I found Training Trees. They cut only what was needed and the cost was very affordable. They gave us an honest bid actually taking the time to really study my trees to figure out what needed to be cut. They were professional and courteous and they cleaned up so nice you can't even tell they were here. Thanks guys! Never using anyone else read more

We had Brandon remove two large trees, trim another two very big trees and grind the stumps. I could not be happier with his work. Brandon is very efficient and reasonable in cost. I would highly recommend Training Trees to anyone for all of their tree work. They are my first and only choice when I need work on our trees. Excellent work Brandon! read more

We are repeat customers and will not use any other company to care for our trees. Love using their website to request an estimate and no-contact site visit. Extremely good communications not only in scheduling, but also providing proof of insurance coverage and detailed options for work to be done along with different payment methods. They show up on time, know what they are doing, and are extremely courteous & careful. Our trees look great. read more

Brandon was great to work with. Communication was straightforward, and we were able to get scheduled to have two large (~40 foot) trees heavily trimmed/pruned, within 2 weeks of his initial consultation appointment. Despite weather not being ideal, he arrived on the scheduled day and worked carefully but efficiently. Trimming and pruning was done exactly as he had described, and the trees look great! Best of all, he even took the time to pick up and dispose of all of the little branches/twigs that came down with trimming, leaving nothing in the lawn. Overall a great experience. Very reasonable price. Highly recommended! read more

We were referred to Training Trees by a neighbor after moving into a new home with alot of trees about 2 years ago. We got a quote that we were very happy with compared to all other bids. We put off having anything done as there were other financial priorities. We referred them to 3 others that also got quotes and hired them for tree work immediately and gave them rave reviews. In Jan 2019, the 9" heavy snow resulted in a large limb landing on a neighbors roof. Our first call was to Brandon at Training Trees. They responded immediately and were here within 2 hours. They did great work to remove the large limb from the neighbors house with no damage to the roof and minimal damage to a gutter. They did a quick trim of a couple other limbs on other trees in the back yard that had also broken and were threatening to take out the fence. We requested an updated bid and plan of action. Within 2 weeks they were back to take down the large tree that lost the limb on our neighbors. It was a large Weeping Willow within 3' of our front windows and towered over the peaks of our house. The crew has skilled climbers and Brandon is a certified arborists that knows trees, how to shape for ideal growth and recovery, as well as longevity. He also knows patterns of growth and best recommended trees to create the shade you want in the future. Our most delicate(coveted) tree is the Mulberry located off the sun room and screened in porch. My wife's place of solace is in the sun room, especially when the hummingbirds show up. The snow storm ripped this tree up pretty bad requiring major work to cut-back one of damaged major branches that separated at a junction. This took special care by the crew to cut limbs without dropping them on a fragile branch below that holds the hummingbird feeders in season. Thanks for taking the time to care about the little things and doing a fantastic job on getting our trees reshaped to handle the next 5-10 years! I would highly recommend them to anyone for quality, timely, and affordable tree work! BEST IN Kansas City area! Happy in Olathe! read more

Brandon communicated promptly about his proposal and quickly followed up with additional help after the project was completed. The price was extremely reasonable! read more

Very knowledgeable and took the time to come out to discuss in detail what we wanted to have done, gave honest, educated opinions and a very concise bid. Day of the work, he and the crew were personable, still answered questions, did an excellent job, offered care suggestions AND completely cleaned up every scrap. We are SO impressed and so happy! read more
