Jeffrey Strader is the most honest as well as knowledgeable person in this business I have ever met. I had a few companies come out and they said I needed to cut numerous large branches out of my tree with a nice large price to go with it. Jeffrey came out and examined the entire tree, safety rated it and should me what would happen if the large branches would have been cut exposing the tree to many problems. He could of done what I thought needed to be done and made a lot of money off of me but he was honest and told me not to do it and to enjoy my huge tree exactly as it was!!! That is integrity

I was pleased with service from A Better Tree service. High quality tree trimming, at a fair price. Will use them again when needed. I have recommended them to others.

I received a quote from Jeff, and just couldn't wait to give them a 5 star review! Jeff came over after a very long day to assess my trees and I learned SO much about proper care and watering! Jeff took the time to share the ABC's of Tree care and I'm a better steward now. I still have a few more quotes to get from other companies.. but I already know that A Better Tree Service has the best knowledge and care "a canopy above the competition". Just quality here...

Fantastic Service!
In 2018 one of the liquid amber trees in our yard didn't come back to life in the spring.We'd been talking about clearing the cut brush and doing a little trimming for a while, but when that tree died we knew we would have to have a professional deal with the problems in the yard at some point.
Fast forward to this spring. One windy night a branch as big around as my thigh fell strait down. We knew that was our last warning, so I opened up Google Maps and searched for tree service. I selected A Better Tree Service and one other to contact - the other service never even tried

Can I give more than 5 Stars? We had Jeffery come to our home today and were blown away at the combination of expert arborist knowledge, attention and advice. If you have questions about tree safety, watering, removal or preservation, it's clear to my wife and I, Jeffery from "A Better Tree Service" is the area expert.

We rely on A Better Tree Service for more than just tree work. Over the years they have handled our pruning, tree removal, irrigation and minor backyard construction projects with a high degree of professional quality at very reasonable prices. Jeff Strader, the owner, is more than just a dedicated, skilled arborist. He's also a really nice guy. His crews work fast, but when they are done, your tree still looks like a real tree instead of a fantasy for your cat and your yard and patio are neat and tidy. A Better Tree Service is a great local business; we can't say enough good about them.

Still appreciating their great work on my tree and yard. These are the only folks I'll use for tree trimming and advice. Truly wonderful, honest, respectful, prompt, tidy and professional.

This business never showed up for their first appointment. Not only that they had set up a 2 hour time frame and they still didn't bother to call or return my call. And, this appointment was set up 1 week in advance.
There are other places to get better service, it's better to go elsewhere.
