What Our Customers Are Saying
Linda Janiszewski
Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism, Value
We are very happy with the work they did. We had a large birch tree trimmed that had power lines on each side. There were 4 workers and they worked well together as a team to get the job done. They cleaned up the yard around the tree and did a professional job. They also asked us if we liked it before they left. We would highly recommend Owen Tree Service!

Dean Hartman - Berrien County Drain Commission
Owen Tree Service provided a great value and service to our community. They helped us complete a difficult task of approximately 50 miles of needed treatment almost seamlessly. They were very easy to work with, followed and complimented our directive well. The owners along the areas that were serviced, passed on very nice regards for their team. We were very impressed with Owen Tree Service (as well as the community) and look forward to using their services again this coming year and beyond.

Owen Tree Service did an outstanding job. The crew trimmed up the treeline and removed several. Did a great job of cleanup too. Extremely professional, informative, helpful & friendly. Thanks so much to the great crew - Ron, Skip, Tim & Doug ... you were incredible. Thanks so much. I'll tell folks about you! (BTW - the guys deserve a few extra $$)

I hired Owen to do a tree removal and some pruning for me. Extremely happy with the care they used on my property. I am also using them for my lawn fertilization this year. Arborist seems very knowledgeable.
