Our certified arborists enhance tree shape while mitigating risks to property and ensuring optimal growth patterns. Commercial and residential services maintain landscape aesthetics while promoting long-term tree health through science-based techniques.

Highly recommended company! They responded to my request for an estimate promptly. Their quote was very reasonable. The crew was amazing and very efficient. I had three trees removed as well as several shrubs. They were very neat and tidy and left my yard spotless. I had requested to keep some of the wood, and they even stacked it for me. I will definitely use this company again and will happily share their information with neighbors. All around fantastic experience!!!

I was delighted when I contracted with Walt's Tree Services in 2012 to cut down several trees. I recommended them to my neighbors in 2019 and 2020 and they cut down and removed stumps for several large trees. I contracted with them again in 2021 to cut down 3 trees and remove the stumps. In less than a week they inspected the job and gave me an estimate; had the utility company to mark off gas lines; cut down and removed stumps; and cleaned up and carried away all of the debris. The entire team was very responsive and professional and I will recommend them again and again.

Walt's offered the best price to cut down a large oak tree in my backyard. The office secretary was very responsive to our questions throughout the process. The crew did a great job. Very professional and friendly. They raked the yard to clean up after the tire tracks left from the tractor and put the fence back. Highly recommended.

I called multiple companies for estimates. Waltzs Tree Services estimate was the most competitive. So we went with them. So glad that we did. I had to call them back to remove another tree 5 months later. Same superb service! Walts Tree Services are fantastic!

We got several estimates to take down a very large tree in our front yard. It was very close to the power lines. Walt's estimate beat the rest. The crew was very professional and organized. They brought a large crane and took the tree down in 15 foot sections, over the power lines. Within 3 hours they had the huge tree down! They ground the stump, cleaned up and left the yard as they found it. I would highly recommend them!

Quality of the work was good. Came to a price that was do-able for me to get a tree removed and poison ivy cleared. Only problem is that the fence in its entirety was not cleared. Call the guy after service to address left over poison ivy and he said hed come back to take care of it. Called him and texted him and he pulled a no show twice. Its a shame since hes quick to answer and the service when I received it was fast and convenient. My tree was removed and cut down but a bit of debris was left over. Otherwise than that I cant see anymore tree in my own yard. Make sure you double
