They arrived on time to cut down three large trees that were close to our house. Two hours later they were blowing off the driveway with everything finished and all cleaned up. Two years ago they took out 13 trees for us without any issues.

My wife and I were very pleased with Korte tree service. Our inquiry for a tree trimming estimate was responded to promptly and Josh was out to view the job a couples days later. We were impressed with Josh?s knowledge and care for the trees. His estimate was very reasonable and the work was performed about a week later at a date and time we determined. The crew was on time and professional. After a brief discussion with he crew we decided to free a big old oak tree from being strangled by ivy, in addition to trimming the branches. We appreciated their input and flexibility to get everything accomplished. Over all we highly recommend Korte tree service.

Josh came out right away when first contacted. Gave good advice re: trees on our property . Had to wait several weeks to get the work done....lots of folks needing trees cut. When Josh's crew of 6 men and 4 trucks came out, they had the work done in 90 minutes. They were good with clean-up, too.
Description of Work: Cut down a huge dead tree that was close to our driveway. (A large dead tree had fallen several weeks earlier). Also cut down 2 smaller trees, and removed chunks of tree runks, limbs and brush piles.

Josh, the arborist, visited beforehand and we discussed the job. One tree (redbud) had a dead top (upper trunk and top branches) and some damage lower down. I suspected that the whole tree may need to be removed, although much of the tree was alive. Josh advised that the tree could be saved, and just the dead portion could be removed. That's what I decided to do. The other tree had a double-stem which could be a problem later as the tree grew, and I asked him to have the smaller of the two trunks removed. The crew of 4 arrived a couple days later. They were punctual and worked quickly and efficiently and left no mess. The work was done neatly. Neat cuts were made on the trees. The foreman was very courteous. I have some knowledge of tree care from my own profession. I wholeheartedly believe in hiring an ISA certified arborist such as Josh for tree care jobs that are bigger than I want to tackle myself. I was impressed with Josh's professionalism and his knowledge, and with the job that the crew did. I would hire them again if the need arises.
Description of Work: Removed dead top section from redbud and smaller of two trunks on double-stemmed birch.

After completing the brush removal, Korte sent a bill for 150.00. Unfortunately, when the bill arrived I was out of town for an emergency and I didn't realize I had received it until a second bill came. I paid soon after receiving the second bill. I called today to schedule the tree removal as I thought the backyard was considerably drier than it had been when I received the estimate. Josh Korte explained to me that he was declining the job because I had taken an extended period to pay for the brush removal and he wasn't comfortable taking on a bigger job from me. I offered to pay for the service up front, but he still declined the job. Korte Tree Care is great, and I am sad that I am no longer able to use their services. I would recommend them for their great service, professionalism and fair pricing.
Description of Work: Professional and punctual! Korte Tree Care came to my home in the Spring of 2014 to give me an estimate on the removal of an elm tree in my back yard and removal of a very large pile of brush in my driveway. I was told they could get the brush removal done right away, but that I should wait to get the tree removed until conditions were drier to avoid leaving equipment ruts in my backyard. The bid for the brush removal was 150.00, and the bid for the tree removal (with stump) was 700.00. I thought these were very reasonable. They arrived within a few days to remove the brush. They did a quick and thorough job.

Response from korte Tree Care
We set aside other customer's jobs to complete this emergency work, it took 61 days to receive a check. While this customer may have been out of town when the bill arrived she was in town when we were hired. No explanation was given, no one called to ask for a delay. We sent two invoices and finally had to call and leave a message as a reminder. Even with the second tree request we never heard this story. With the unusual amount of storm damage work we've had this year it seemed unfair to make others wait a second time. We try to be extremely loyal to our good customers and that includes helping them as quickly as possible.

The employees at Korte Tree Care were friendly, professional, and punctual. After a big wind storm, there were fallen trees all over my neighborhood. I received an estimate from a tree company who was doing work at a neighbor's house, waited six weeks, but never heard from them (even though they said "We can get to it in the next few weeks"). I finally called Korte and they said, "It will take us about three weeks because we're busy, but we can get to it." They quoted us a price that was significantly less than the other company: $550 vs. $950. To be fair, I believe the other company planned to do more extensive trimming of the huge pin oak. However, even the removal of the Bradford pair was priced $450 vs. $550. Almost exactly three weeks later Korte called, showed up the next day, did a great job on the Bradford pear, removed all the limbs that had fallen, and even planted grass seed to cover up the tracks they left. Overall a great job. I will hire them again in the future.

They were excellent. We've had them out to the house twice and plan to have them out at least once more. They do excellent work. They are extremely professional. We had six really large trees cut down, three other trees trimmed up. They arrived promptly on the day schedule and worked like heck all day. When they were gone, they only way you knew they were there were the missing trees. They cleaned up my yard very well. Do I wish the price they charged was lower, sure, but wouldn't everyone. It was worth every penny. You get what you pay for.
Description of Work: We had several large trees, but huge thorns, removed. Most tree services won't touch that type of tree.

They visited my home and wrote a bid within 24 hrs of my phone call. They arrived and did the work within 24 hrs of confirming that I wanted them to do the work. They arrived when they said they would, were very professional and courteous; worked very quickly and left my yard very clean.
Description of Work: During a recent storm one of the trees in my yard split in half. They removed the debris, took down the rest of the tree that was still standing and trimmed under two more trees making it easier for me to mow.

Good. Josh was a knowledgeable, enthusiastic arborist willing to discuss the health of my trees, pruning advice and recommendations. His estimate for felling a small dead tree was just a little higher than Arthur Ratliff (also on your list) but I had him feed the trees and his feeding subcontractor actually came in below estimate from $225 to $150. I plan to have Josh back next December (at his suggestion) to prune and shape another tree.

mming/removal, I plan to use Korte Tree Care again.
Description of Work: My experience with this company was outstanding!. I live in St. Louis and I had to have tree removal and trimming on a property I inherited in Jefferson City, Missouri. Josh not only gave me a quick estimate, but kept in communication with me (since I was out of town) during the process and sent pictures to my e-mail showing the finished work. The price was great and the quality of work was outstanding. I really appreciate the fact that he kept in communication with me and sent pictures of the finished work. Since I have over an acre of property and a lot of tree tri

Korte Tree Care has all the equipment to perform even very large projects quickly and efficiently. They brought with them a big truck, one of the tallest cranes I ever saw, and a neat little loader that did all the heavy lifting and looks like something from outer space. The dead pine tree was close to the property line but they removed it without the slightest problem. Trimming the old locust trees was a very difficult task. One of the trees was imbedded with a 3 inch thick poison ivy vine with 4 ft. wide foliage that went almost to the top of the tree. I managed to kill the vine with a saw one week before their visit, but the worker had a hard time dealing with the dying vine. He did so in expert fashion. The entire project was completed in approximately two and one-half hours. Korte and his 2 person work crew were prompt, polite, courteous, highly professional and perfectionist. They have improved their performance with each visit. I was delighted with their earlier work and even more pleased with them this time. The cost was very reasonable. Their cleanup was excellent. I give them my highest recommendation. When they come, have your camera at the ready because you're going to enjoy showing people the photos of their interesting equipment.
Description of Work: This was the third occasion that I have used Korte Tree Care, the first being many years ago. At this most recent visit, they cut down a tall dead pine tree. They trimmed two old and very tall black locust trees of numerous dead limbs. They trimmed dead branches from two tall black walnut trees overhanging a children's swing set. They also removed the top portion of a large dead maple trunk according to my instructions. All of the dead limbs and branches were put in a wood chipper followed by a cleanup. Some of the large tree trunks were loaded onto a truck.

Job was completed quickly. I had a few limbs that were 4-8 ft long in which Korte came back and made into smaller lengths for me. Would recommend to anyone.
Description of Work: Had two large dead trres cut down and cut into firewood lengths. I split the wood for firepit use. Korte used a skylift and climbed upper limbs for cutting. Actual job was within 7 days of estimate date. Very satisfied.

We had an extremely large oak tree fall on our deck/house during a recent storm. Josh responded immediately and physically inspected the damage and provided an estimate. His crew showed up as scheduled, cut up and removed the tree, cleaned up all of the debris and seeded our yard where their equipment damaged the grass, this was a big job in a tight space and they had all of the required equipment to do the job right and quickly. I was impressed with the professionalism and detail of their work. They exceeded my expectations. I have used Josh in the past on our large trees and I recommend him highly. He is very knowledgeable and professional.
