How this list was built
The October 2026 snapshot uses ratings and review counts stored in the MidTen Home Pros directory. To qualify, a company had to be approved, tagged for this service, show a 4.5-or-higher rating, have review data, and fit the category. New additions were checked against first-party service evidence; a directory tag alone was not enough. Companies are ordered by review count, with rating as a tiebreaker. Review totals can change. Reviews for multi-service businesses reflect the overall company, not a trade-specific score. Paid MidTen placements do not affect this order.

What homeowners should ask before hiring
For tree trimming, removal, or storm cleanup, Ask who will assess the tree, whether a certified arborist is involved, how property and utility lines will be protected, and whether stump work and debris removal are included.
- Get the complete scope, exclusions, payment schedule, and change-order process in writing.
- Verify licensing when the work requires it and request current insurance directly from the provider.
- Compare at least two written proposals on the same scope; the lowest number may omit important work.
- Do not treat rating or review count as a substitute for checking recent, job-specific feedback and references.
How to read this ranking
A high review count shows a larger public feedback history; a high star rating shows the average sentiment in that snapshot. Neither proves that a company is the right fit for every project. Read recent reviews for your job type, compare written scopes, and verify details directly.
