They did a fantastic job. Out of the 4 tree services I got quotes from, he was the only one to say I didn’t need to cut down my tree and that was after I told them the other quotes said I should cut it down. That right there tells me he cares more about saving the tree when possible over making extra money with a tree removal.

Great people, great service, can't say enough about the crew that came to help us with an emergency job! They came out hours before the winter storm was supposed to arrive and got the job done so we didn't have to worry about a tree crashing through our home. Easy online invoicing and payment too!

These guys came at a moments notice after a wind storm knocked a tree down in my yard. Pricing was fair and honest, cleanup work was detailed and thorough. Will be hiring them next time!

I had a couple hundred poplar trees growing in and around some shallow wetlands in my CRP. I had to get them removed (and wanted to remove them). I called Shane at Rugged Tree Service. Shane and his team did I a terrific job! Knowlegable, timely, communicated often and well, reasonably priced and left the land very clean! I will be calling him for some more tree work next summer!
