Steve and his crew were awesome. They removed a huge 75 year old tree from our property, including branches above our building and made it look easy. They were very professional, courteous and conscientious. I would highly recommend calling Steve for service.
A-1 Tree & Lawncare was the first company I called for a mulch delivery when we first decided we needed more than just a few bags of mulch for our gardens. They had good pricing and were able to deliver quickly. We have continued to call them each year, in fact my 2017 delivery is tomorrow, and I know we can count on good product and excellent customer service.

Steve and his crew did a fantastic job removing a tree that had partially fallen on my garage. They were punctual, polite, extremely capable, and completed the job in one hour. Steve was more flexible than other contractors who provided estimates for the same work. The price was right and they exceeded my expectations in every way. I would definitely hire them again.

Steve and his team did a tremendous job. They far exceeded my expectations in every way. Steve was quick to come out and do an estimate for us. A-1 removed 9 trees off of our property and we could not be more happier with the service they provided. It was great to work with a reputable local company. A-1 was reasonable, quick and efficient. Most importantly, they proved to be a company that we could trust. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for high quality service at a reasonable price.
From the job-estimate visit to the final clean-up, Steve and team did a great job. Five trees removed varied in size, were close to a property line fence, and in town, so safety and attention to detail were important. Respectful of ours and our neighbor’s properties. And fair in price. Excellent & professional in every way. Highly recommend A-1.
it was great to work with a locally owned and operated company that treated my project with as much interest and enthusiasm as I would if I could do it myself. Steve responded quickly to my phone calls and answered all my questions. His knowledge of his trade came through immediately. His experienced crew showed up on time, were safe, professional and did a great job. we were very pleased with the experience all around. If you need tree service I would highly recommend A-1 Tree and Lawn Care. By the way A-1 is a fully licensed and insured contractor.
We have used A-1 for several years and multiple jobs. Steve is quick to stop by and give, not just an estimate, but his professional opinion. He manages the schedule so well that they got to us before we even expected. His crew shows up on time; they are friendly and professional, and they clean up as if they were never there. We can't say enough good things about A-1 Tree & Lawncare.
We just had a huge maple and large ash tree removed by A1. Steve was quick and very reasonable with his estimate. Extremely informative. He kept us up to speed with the project from start to finish. They did an awesome job with our delicate yet dangerous tree situation. (Our huge maple had massive trunk like limbs which arched over out house). They removed everything with surgical precision. There is NO yard damage to be seen which is crazy because they had huge equipment here for the last few days. And there is no mess to speak of except a little saw dust where the stumps were grinded. We can finally rest easy during the next storm not worrying about a tree smashing through our roof! I highly recommend these guys. Thanks!!!!
A1 came and removed 2 large spruce trees including the stumps as well as going HIGH into my 2 Pin Oak trees and removing large dead limbs. They were very professional. All the workers were knowledgeable and polite. The price was much less than the other estimates I received. The best part was how well they cleaned up behind themselves. You would hardly know they were there!!!
Steve and his crew did a great job! Steve was quick to come out for an estimate and gave me a very reasonable price for tree removal and firewood. Steve had the firewood delivered the next day and trees removed a couple days later. His guys are very fast and professional. I'll use him again and highly recommend A-1 Tree Service!
Steve and the crew are dialed in from the beginning. Steve came out on a Sunday to check out my tree. He explained exactly what would be done in the trimming process. I have a massive oak and beach tree 4 feet from my house. This was not a easy job. They did the job exactly as explained. The price was excellent! The job was left clean and we are thrilled. Do yourself a favor and call Steve. You will be impressive with his service, work ethic and knowledge.
A-1 Tree was great to deal with. The owner Steve is one of the few that holds his crew and himself to a high work ethic. Fast, professional, honest and very competitive prices, no need to look elsewhere. Will definitely use them in the future!
I have used A-1 tree for the last 20 years, have had several old trees removed. Usually get three bids for tree work, and each time I picked A-1 for the job. They make it look easy because they know what they are doing, have tons of experience, and a great crew of workers. Steve responds and communicates quickly, very professional with safety top of mind. Takes extra steps to minimize any disturbance to the lawn. The job is done right every time. Highly recommend A-1 Tree.
