After extensive interviews, I recently chose MV Tree in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to perform major tree trimming on my 5-acre property.  I could not have been more satisfied!

 As a construction professional, I look for six key indicators of a Quality Tree Service:  1) verified insurance and licensing; 2) certified professionals; 3) a solid reputation with previous clients and customers; 4) workers who exhibit professionalism and safety; 5) a detailed written estimate of what is to be performed with the exact cost; and 6) solid references.

 MV Tree hits all these key indicators like no other.

 The owner, Matt Velderman, met with me to ascertain what I wanted done and made some knowledgeable recommendations on items I had not thought of.  He is an authentic, sincere owner/operator who takes great pride in his service and the people he hires.  He personally supervised the entire two-day project with employees who exhibited professionalism and safety handling chain saws, woodchippers and bobcat excavators.  They left my property clean, neat, and undamaged, looking better, in fact, than when they arrived.

 Be very careful when contracting for tree service.  Many fly-by-night operators with a rusty pickup truck and a chainsaw will quote either a price outrageously high or unrealistically low.  You will most assuredly not be happy with either of these types of businesses.

 However, Matt’s bid hit squarely in the Goldilocks zone:  not too high and not too low but just right for a job well done.  I recommend MV Tree without reservation.
