Tree Removal
read moreWe provide complete tree removal when a tree is dead, unstable, damaged by storms, or affected by decay. Our team manages the entire process, from evaluating the tree and preparing a written estimate to removing the tree and clearing the resulting debris. Where appropriate, we use sectional or crane-assisted methods to help protect structures and landscaping during removal.Tree Trimming & Pruning
read moreOur tree trimming and pruning services address safety, appearance, and long-term tree health. We remove branches affecting roofs, driveways, walkways, and fences, eliminate hazardous deadwood, and improve structural development in younger trees. Following storms, we carefully remove damaged limbs by assessing branch unions and cutting to healthy wood while minimizing bark damage.Emergency Tree Service
read moreWe provide prompt emergency tree assistance when storm damage or a fallen tree creates an immediate hazard. Our service covers trees on structures, blocked driveways or entrances, dangerous suspended limbs, and partially uprooted or leaning trees. To support insurance claims, we document the damage and completed work with photographs, a clear scope of work, and a detailed invoice.Storm Damage Tree Cleanup
read moreOur storm cleanup service addresses the aftermath of severe weather, including high winds, ice storms, thunderstorms, and tornadoes. We remove fallen trees, properly trim storm-damaged limbs, and clear branches and woody debris from the property. For complex situations, our crew can use cranes, bucket trucks, and chippers as needed.Emerald Ash Borer Treatment
read moreOur Emerald Ash Borer treatment service focuses on protecting ash trees that remain suitable for treatment. We begin with an evaluation by an ISA Certified Arborist and determine the appropriate treatment method based on the trees condition and circumstances. Trunk injection offers effective protection, while soil drench applications may suit certain sites.Tree Planting
read moreOur approach to tree planting emphasizes long-term suitability rather than simply selecting an attractive nursery tree. We recommend species that can handle local soils and weather, including oaks, sugar maple, red maple, redbud, and serviceberry. Trees are installed at an appropriate depth, and we explain watering, mulch, and staking requirements to support establishment.Land Clearing
read moreWe handle complete land clearing projects with equipment and crews suited to both smaller lots and larger acreage. Our work may include standing tree removal, undergrowth clearing, stump grinding, and debris removal or distribution. For rural properties, we also address windbreaks, pasture edges, and larger tree projects while reviewing site access and conditions before scheduling.Landscape Design
read moreOur landscape services are designed to take a property from clearing through completion with a single coordinated team. We remove unwanted vegetation, install drainage and retaining walls before planting, and finish with mulch, clean edging, and thorough debris removal. Trees and shrubs are chosen for the site's soil and sun exposure, with an emphasis on their long-term growth.Reviews Write a Review

Received a flyer in the mail from Tree Wizard. I took a chance on them. They were professional, efficient, polite, didn't waste time, cleaned the area & made certain I was satisfied before leaving. I was very impressed with them and highly recommend them. When the need arises, I will call them. Karol Kristofferson, June 10, 2026.

We are so thrilled with the work that was done at Old Auxvasse-Nine Mile Presbyterian Church. They cut down 3 trees and removed bushes around the building and did all the clean-up. Thank-you so much!

Chris and his crew did phenomenal work for us! They gave us a quote and were out within the week to take down a large, brittle tree. They were fast, professional, and left the yard nice and clean. We will use them again in the future if needed. Highly recommended!

I needed 27 trees planted. These guys had great ratings, so I really wanted to use them. They are a small'ish company that stays super busy because they do a great job. After a little initial frustration trying to get in touch with them, it was well worth the trouble. They lived up to their ratings and actually did do a great job. They worked quickly, professionally, and did everything that needed done with the tree planting (e.g. composting, mulching, etc.) and even took care of a special request or two. They took less than half a day to get it all done and their prices were well-within the market norms. I can't even imagine trying to do my own planting from now on. I've got to recommend them. Call them sooner rather than later to make sure you can get on their schedule.

My husband and I used Tree Wizard two times this year to remove large Ash Trees and for stump removal. On both occasions their team arrived promptly, took care of business, cleaned up the mess as discuss, and provided the best price around. We were extremely impressed and will use them in the future for any tree removal needs.

They got an emergency job done for me while I was out of town. Got the mess out and the damage covered before a long weekend and incoming weather. Great to work with.

Great service! They took down trees, and took care to clean up all the limbs and sticks. They also trimmed some trees close to our electric line and mulched the wood. They also asked if we wanted the mulch, which we did! The crew of three were great to deal with, answered any questions we had and took care to not harm any landscaping even though we didn't request that they do this. They just in general were very helpful and went the extra mile. Their price was very reasonable compared to other companies. I would highly recommend this crew and company to anyone that needs trees trimmed or removed!

Tree Wizard did an outstanding job! They bid two large jobs for me and got to them quickly. On top of that, they went above and beyond by helping a few neighbors in the West Ash area who stopped by the job site asking for assistance. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and willingness to help really stand out. I look forward to working with them again in the future. Highly recommend!

Chris and his crew were working on an emergency basis across the street after the tornado tore down my street. They surveyed my tree issues, gave me a fair price and immediately set out to remove huge limbs from my driveway. They removed some limbs that werent even part of the job, but that posed a danger to others, and did not charge me. They were kind, courteous, efficient and extremely thorough. I will call them again. They were terrific.

Since I own multiple properties, I often have to employ a tree service as general property maintenance. Tree Wizard is my go to company. Chris and his team are always responsive, and get the job done quickly at a fair price.

The Tree Wizard crew took our case seriously and handled it diligently. They offered useful analysis in their assessment of the damage of a fallen tree, and helped us move on to handle the rest of the emergency situation.

Tree Wizard was sent by our insurance company to remove a good sized tree that fell on our roof during a thunderstorm. They arrived quickly to evaluate & prioritize the job among many others, and a crew was dispatched later the same day. They quickly got to work and safely got the tree cut up and off the roof, piled up the brushy ends, & moved on to their next job. 2 days later (sooner than expected) they returned to chip up the brushy bits. They were very professional, clear with communication, and obviously very skilled. It was really fun to watch them work! Highly recommended, and we will use them again for our tree needs.

They know about trees and do a great job. The techs recommended further treatment for our tree and we are using them again. My only complaint is that they always seem to have only voice mail available. I rarely speak to a real person. However, they are highly responsive to email and resolve any billing issue or appointment concern.

The thunderstorm-heavy summer of 2021 has been rough on our trees, and we'd developed quite the hefty pile of broken limbs, plus some of our trees were looking rough. Tree Wizard's arborist was timely and responsive, and he listened closely to what we needed to provide a very clear scope of work quote. The guys who came out to perform the job were polite and friendly; would recommend!

Tree Wizard has proven to me that they will absolutely stand by their work.
There was a slight misunderstanding which was resolved immediately to my complete satisfaction.
They have been taking care of my trees for years and I hope for many more.

The two employees showed up right on time and got straight to work. I was surprised that they were still trimming away at the tree while the weather just seem to be getting worse. they did a great job and I would recommend them.
