What our partners say

1 / 2

Over the five year span of the contract Michael’s Tree & Loader did an excellent job. The contract had a penalty clause for missed service calls and not once during the five years did Michael’s Tree & Loader exceed the threshold where a penalty was enforced. In fact, they set a new standard for the low number of service calls.

Joe Nunes

Neighborhood Services Manager, Germantown, TN

Although St. Louis had no preexisting contract with Michael's Tree & Loader Service, they had the personnel on the ground and ready to help within 36 hours of the storm. The City of St. Louis was thankful to have one contractor that could handle the entirety of the job. I recommend this company without reservation and will call them again should the need arise.

Gary D. Bess

Parks, Recreation & Forestry, St. Louis

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene in 2024, our community faced one of the most challenging recovery efforts in recent memory. Michael’s Tree & Loader Service proved to be an invaluable partner in our response and recovery operations. Their team was exceptionally responsive, arriving promptly and fully equipped to assist with the massive task of debris removal from public property and city streets.

Jason Hall

City Manager, Lyons, GA

Finally, the FEMA forms have all been filled out and boxed up! You and your company have hit another home run for us with the cleanup effort just as you did in 2003 with Hurricane Elvis. Your knowledge, honesty, and candor have proven most beneficial to me and helped make our department look like the professionals that you are.
