Had a large maple tree ready to fall down on main power lines on my street due to rotting trunk. Called Lee Tree. Mike came over and gave me a very reasonable quote and due to the nature of the situation his crew arrived two days later. Cut it down, chopped it up and cleaned up everything. Awesome job, timely and very reasonable . I highly recommend them.

Mike and his entire crew were excellent to deal with. They are professional, courteous, and very good at what they do. My wife and I were very impressed, and we would recommend them highly. The pricing was also very reasonable. Five stars are well deserved.

One of the things I really liked was that almost every time I called, he answered his phone which is rare these days. Scheduling was kind hectic but that was our fault because we needed a job done quickly due to a remodel project plus COVID, but he got it done for us in time and the crew did a great job. He was also very reasonable. I would recommend him to anyone!

Lee Tree, Mike Lee and his staff are outstanding. WE has a tree fall on our house in the middle of the night, I called Mike early in the morning and his staff showed up with a 1/2 hour to remove and cover the roof from the elements. They are also great citizens of York.
