Fantastic experience. I had some large trees close to our home that needed to be taken down and they did so in a safe, quick, and efficient manner. John Menzel, Cole Adam, and Austin Kubash left a clean job site with zero headache for us. Would highly recommend!

Excellent in every way! We will use their service again! I could not be happier with the service, price, communication and finished product. Crawford removed a very large problem tree for us and Dane and the team were awesome.

We have had a great experience with Crawford since they were first recommended by a neighbor to help us determine if our Ash trees were worth saving. Jon came out and gave us a thorough assessment and recommendation for treatment.

Crawford Tree has been servicing my personal residence as well as the common areas of the homeowners association property in the subdivision in which I live for 10+ years, and they have always provided high-quality, detailed, expert treatment of the trees, shrubs, bushes, [and] lawn areas associated with both.

We are having a fantastic experience with Crawford! We called in Spring and talked with Steve about our front lawn. The dirt level was so high, it was nearly impossible to edge. We also had a very clumpy, bumpy lawn and small bare spots all over, that were more like holes and it was so uneven. Originally, we were going to do the job ourselves. Let me say...SO glad we didn't.
