I highly recommend Des Moines tree removal Service. They removed 2 trees, trimmed 2 trees, removed a huge trunk that was still standing, and ground the 3 remaining stumps. They were timely, efficient and the lawn looked cleaner than it did before they started! Their pricing was outstanding. We will definitely use them again and recommend them to friends and family.

Great tree removal team.These guys were fantastic and super efficient. They came out to our house to look at a large tree we wanted to cut down. They were informative about the process and time. The next day they came on time and cut our tree. The whole process was smooth and I would definitely hire them again.

Outstanding tree service and quality. From the moment we called Enrique he was responsive and professional. He cut down a tree for us that was dying and did pruning and cleaned everything up. Smooth process and reasonable price would highly recommend!

I was extremely impressed by Tom and crew for their professionalism and expertise. They took great care in removing my white oak tree from the property and made the whole experience painless and quite entertaining to watch as it was a massive 70 year old tree. Thank you again for the great tree removal service.
