Since 1997, Trimmer Trees has offered affordable and dependable tree care for residential and commercial properties in the entire Twin Cities Metro area. From tree removal, trimming and shaping to help cleaning up storm damage and more, Trimmer Trees can help with any type of tree care service you need.
All of our arborists are fully trained and qualified, and we are an ISA-certified company. Hello John - As far as the work done, it was fabulous. My nephew (current owner of the house) has education in the field of arboriculture and is 'picky' about the how the trees are trimmed. He happened to be home when the work was done and was impressed by your crew and the great job they did.
In a time when you hear so many horror stories, it was wonderful to deal with such a professional group. From getting the estimate to completing the work, everything was easy and stress-free. Your crew was courteous and conscientious. They worked quickly and efficiently and left not a scrap of debris behind.

I got Johns name & number from my neighbor who has used their services before. John was very friendly along with being out-of-the-norm actually interested in what we wanted. We just kind of clicked. He made us feel that we were not just a potential “job” for him. His rates were definitely reasonable, which is refreshing. His crew came out today & worked quickly, and their cleanup of the debris was exemplary! They were nice, friendly, and asked my husbands opinion on what he thought of the job they did. Also asked if there were any other branches that he though should be removed or that might

I had half my tree come down in some straight line winds and another company told me 4-6 weeks to get the rest of it removed. Trimmer Trees was able to come out to look at it and give me an estimate within 2 days of me calling. He was then able to fit me in the next week because I was worried about the safety of the rest of the tree. Price was very affordable and they did an amazing job.

We hired John to remove an over-sized 60+ foot ash tree from our small, city lot, backyard. The job was extra challenging given power lines and surrounding structures. If I could give John and his Trimmer Trees team 1,000 stars I would! They're mind readers and magicians. Communication was on point, prompt and very specific with the details. Crew was on-time (wee bit early actually), polite, and left my property cleaner than when they started. Even our neighbors commented on how well the team communicated with each other to ensure a safe and efficient job.

I was happy with Trimmer Trees the first time they came. John was there supervising the whole job. I had several trees cleaned up at quite a reasonable price. And John even offered to come back the next spring at no charge if the trees needed to be evened up.
The second time I had them out, a couple of years later, it was because there was a broken branch hanging over my brand new roof. This time, they had instituted a minimum of $350, so I had to scramble around to add random branches to the job, and I still don't know if it was worth it. Also, John did not appear at all. There is still

Every project they have done for us has been done in a very professional and efficient manner at a reasonable price. We have had them remove an old tree in our backyard that was threatening our garage and they have also pruned our front yard maple and our sour cherry trees multiple times. We can't be happier with the results and will continue to use them to keep our trees healthy and looking their best.

Wonderful experience taking down a large maple tree in my front yard and trimming a large maple in my backyard through the alley (south Minneapolis). Whole job was done in about 5 hours, I was amazed. Cleaned up as if nothing even happened. Very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend.

The Trimmer Trees staff showed up right on time with several highly skilled tree trimmers. We had a 20+ year old box elder tree that had to come down. They were extremely careful to take down heavy limbs by using a balancing system with ropes and pulleys. The tree came down in under three hours at a very reasonable price. They cleaned up all the tree limbs and debris in our yard, our neighbor's driveways and on the street. I highly recommend their services! Top notch!

2019: I was nervous about booking tree removal services as the internet is full of horror stories. I am happy to say that our experience with John and his team at Trimmer Trees was nothing short of spectacular. His estimate was fair and his team was responsive and professional. We were so happy with his services that we plan to hire him again to remove a few more trees for us. Highly recommend!
2020 Follow Up: We had John and his team come and remove more trees and stumps for us and they did a phenomenal job yet again. They were careful, efficient, and timely. I’ve recommended them to friends

I had a large bush and some shrubs I needed cut down and the stump ground out. Never hired an arborist before. A contractor recommended another company but after two calls with little communication over two weeks I grew tired of trying. I turned to Yelp to request a quote from Trimmer Trees which, conveniently enough, I could request right through the Yelp app.
The owner, John, messaged me back two days later--again, conveniently right within the Yelp app--with a quote. He said he was in the neighborhood and could get the work done that same day. I even shared a photo through the app of the bushes

John and his crew did an amazing job! From the initial estimate to the cleanup afterward, everything went smoothly with no pesky surprises.
My project was the removal of a large, dying ash tree (about 40 ft. high). (Note: I did not have the stump ground, but decided to make it part of my landscaping.)
The Trimmer Trees crew arrived as scheduled, and worked steadily until the job was complete. The site was so clean, it looked as though they vacuumed up the debris.
The estimate was very competitive, and I can't imagine getting any better service from the other more expensive bids. Job very well

John and his crew did a great job in taking down our Maple tree and grinding the stump. They were professional, cleaned up the area well and there price was reasonable. They even left some of the large trunk pieces for some wood projects. I will definitely use Trimmer Trees if and when I need any more tress removed.

I've worked with a few tree companies during my 17 years in the green industry. Trimmer Trees is without a doubt the best. John & his crew are always professional & courteous. Beyond that, they consistently exhibit something sorely lacking these days - Competence! Trimmer Trees does great work. They show up on time, do the job right & clean-up when they're done. Their rates are definitely competitive & their performance is outstanding.

After reading many position reviews about Trimmer Trees, I went with them to take down a Box Elder tree in my yard. The tree had just started on its own years ago (we thought it was a bush at first). The tree grew so big it was a hazard to both my house and wires.
John was great to work with. Very reasonable prices. I highly recommend Trimmer Trees.

Sadly we had to remove 2 trees in our backyard (1 was a diseased Ash and the other was a poorly placed Maple) and we went with John to do the work after taking quotes from 2 other service providers.
John has earned my tree trimming business for good, and since I have no "cons" to describe, I'll just list out the "pros":
- the price was the lowest ($800 lower than the other guys)
- the communication throughout was excellent
- the work was done promptly
- the work was done very well (e.g. minimal damage to the yard)
And as a bonus, John left me some log stools for sitting

I had to have two huge silver maple trees removed. I knew it was going to be expensive so I had 5 different companies come out to give me a bid. John's bid was right in the ballpark and I decided to go with him.
His crew is incredibly efficient and careful. They avoided our play-system in the back and a powerline.
I would and have recommended him to my neighbors. Two neighbors have already used him and told me what a great job he did. You aren't going to go wrong call John at Trimmer Trees.

John and his crew did an excellent job removing several trees from not only my property but the neighborhood. He was very prompt with all contact, the work was done quickly, and clean up from the company was immaculate! John was very knowledgeable and gave his opinion when asked on additional work that should be done, without pressuring me as a client. I would be very happy to recommend/use Trimmer Trees in the future.
