This is our first experience with Mike and his team and we can't say enough good about them. They are professional and respectful. They are extremely knowledgeable about their work. They work well as a team. They pruned several trees, removing one smaller tree and one quite large tree, as well as grinding the stump of the large one. Our yard was immaculate when they were done. Not only are they a great value, they are great people who do great work. We have no problem recommending them.

We were a first time customer within the tree service market, and Mike at Affordable Tree Experts was the common answer when we asked for local recommendations. Responsive customer service & quick turnaround!! From the initial call to a service date on the calendar, Mike made the process seamless at an incredibly competitive rate. We were very happy with our decision to trust Affordable with the challenging trees endangering our house. Couldn’t have been happier!! Don’t settle for just anyone, call the best!!

Mike and his crew have done 2 jobs of tree trimming/removal for us. His crew works incredibly hard and clearly are knowledgeable about their task. They cleared a large area in front of our house that had been neglected for decades and the transformation was remarkable. If you want great service from a qualified team call Affordable Tree Experts. Mike assures the crew knows what to do and follows through in checking that the job is done correctly. They are a great value and a great team. We highly recommend them.

Expert tree service at an affordable cost is exactly what you get when you deal with this company. They go above and beyond expectation when executing, cleaning and taking care of their project. If you use anyone else you might have made a mistake.

We hired them to remove a 90 foot pine tree that was very close to our house, and it was no problem for them. Their pricing is competitive, very skilled polite timely the clean up was so thorough. We highly recommend!!

I have always been very pleased with these Experts. They are very friendly, hard working and very careful and pay attention to all the details. They get very high praise from me, I would never call anyone else.

Outstanding Tree company!!!! One of the best around . I highly recommend Affordable Tree Experts. They get the job done and do it right. I've known Mike for years and has an outstanding crew .

Mike and his crew did a fantastic job as usual. I've had them do other work and they have always been affordable and professional.

Mike and his crew did a fantastic job taking down a large tulip tree from our backyard in Old Saybrook. They were professional, neat, and thorough. I would highly recommend them and would not hesitate to use them again if I have any future tree service needs.

Great job clearing our property of WAY overgrown trees . This crew really knows what they are doing and they work hard and you can tell that safety and not wrecking anything while they work is super important.

Thank you Mike for helping us today in North Madison with our 'cat in the tree' emergency. Coming out on this bad weather day to help us insures we'll be in touch for our tree service needs. Thank again for the kindness and we look forward to working with you in the near future!

Mike and team came down and did a great job completing all the required work making it look easy. Also there tree stump grinder machine is the amazing!!!

My cat got stuck in a tree over night in a snow storm, being an indoor cat, she was super scared. Mike came out the next morning and got her down. His climbing skills were crazy impressive, he was super kind. He was getting ready to leave for a vacation a day or 2 later and could have easily turned me down but he came out and was absolutely amazing!!

I have always been very pleased with these Experts. They are very friendly, hard working and very careful and pay attention to all the details. They fet very high praise from me, I would never call anyone else.

Very professional, super careful and cleaned the property so you wouldn’t even know they were here. Owner very knowledgeable about the EAB that is devastating the ash trees around the area. Would highly recommend. Eileen

Mike was on time and very professional. He cleaned up after the job was done and charged me a reasonable price. I highly recommend Affordable Tree Services! Thanks Mike!

Excellent Service and quality tree work. You can tell they really care about the work and the people they serve.

This is the 3rd time we’ve used Affordable and as always they exceeded our expectations! Once you have hired this stellar crew, you will never use any other company! They are extremely knowledgeable arborists, they are artful and skilled in the work they do, and they will leave your entire yard looking better than it ever has! The equipment they use is incredible, these guys arrive in a fleet of the best high end machinery there is! It is amazing to watch them, they are a great team and you won’t believe how much they can get done in a few hours at a very reasonable price! They will spoil you !! Highly recommend!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

Had a triple trunk spruce removed from our property. Quality work and reasonable pricing.

We hired them to remove a 90 foot pine tree that was very close to our house, and it was no problem for them. Their pricing is competitive, very skilled polite timely the clean up was so thorough. We highly recommend!!

We had the crew here the past two days--very professional crew, hardworking and helpful! The cleanup was better than expected and we will definitely use them again!

5 stars

Mike was phenomenal! He was the only person willing to come out same day to rescue our cat from a tree in our front yard. After calling the non emergency police, fire, ems, local tree services, and climbing rescue teams, more than sixteen hours of coaxing, trying to tempt our cat with treats to no avail he came to our rescue. He was kind, efficient and immensely professional. It was raining and no other service in our area was willing to come out. If you need any work done you couldn’t find a more dedicated or kind individual. He climbed up about 40 feet and returned Nutmeg to us safe and sound. It just so happens we need some tree work done and we have found our tree experts!

Thanks Mike! All businesses should be run this efficiently. We have used Affordable for years and have always been pleased with their fair prices, crew, work ethic, and end result. We highly recommend them.

Very happy with Mike and his crew- they did a super job!

Mike and his crew are experienced, reliable, and neat. With all the fly by nights out there he is a licensed arborist with 30years experience. You won't go wrong. They also rescue cats.

Mike and his guys are real pros. I deal with many different contractors over the course of the year and Mike is one of the best. He and his crews are fast, courteous and highly professional. They are so thorough that when they finish a job, the only way you can tell that they were even there is by the stumps left behind......and he can grind those down for you too! Top notch outfit. Highly recommended.

Mike provided a quote in the morning and was available to complete the requested work in the afternoon. His crew went promptly to work after reviewing what was to be done. They were very hardworking, polite, and did a great job. I absolutely would recommend Affordable Tree Experts for quality work at a reasonable price from professionals who know what they are about. We are most appreciative of Mike and his crew!

We have accepted the bids for two jobs at our house in Connecticut. Both times, the owner returned our call, came out, evaluated the work and gave a fair price. Almost immediately, the crew (with all their gear) quickly showed up, and did the job as required. They cleaned up the leafy mess and were gone. Excellent work.

I just had Mike and his crew remove 9 trees from my front yard. He is a consummate professional, extremely time conscious, and friendly. It helps that he's a licensed arborist and he knows what he's doing. He also doesn't nickle and dime you, is honest with his quotes, and I would hire them again if I needed tree-related services. I highly recommend them.

I gave the company a call after the company was recommended by a friend. Mike was very responsive and came out as we agreed. We walked around the property and we discussed the work that needed to be completed. Additionally, Mike provided some great advise and recommendations being it was obvious he was very knowledgeable in the tree care care and removal profession! Mike wrote up an estimate after discussing the work and provided a written estimate the initial day he came out. The estimate was extremely fair and reasonable!! I contacted Mike the next day that I wanted to go ahead with the work. I was provided with some time frames for conducting the work that was convienent for me which worked out great. On the day the work was performed, the crew was efficient, great to work with, responsive and left the areas where the work was completed in perfect condition! I was extremely please with the entire interaction with this company! Going forward, I would definitely call this company for any further tree care and removal work! I would also recommend this company to anyone in need of tree care and tree removal work! Great Job Mike and all your employees! Please keep up the Great Work!! Thanks!!

Done as agreed on time and affordably.

I was overwhelmed by the amount of work they did for the price. They were polite, prompt, and incredibly efficient. They used a cherry picker when necessary but the crew climbed my old trees to prune. And they did a phenomenal clean- up job. If there were a rating higher than "A", I would give it to Affordable Tree. I highly recommend this company and will always use them in the future. The owner Mike Grigor, gave me excellent advice about the health and care of trees on our property

I called Mike on Thanksgiving morning because I needed help rescuing my cat Felix from a tree, where he had been stuck 40 feet up all night, meowing miserably. Felix is not the hardy outdoors type - he spends most of his time sleeping on a blanket on top of a heating pad on top of a cat bed on top of my bed. To say that he's not used to roughing it would be an understatement. I had spent the night sick with worry over my poor kitty, who was all alone and cold, huddled on a branch high in the sky. I had tried to get him down myself, but it was impossible - he was up way too far, and he was clearly too terrified to try to make it down on his own. Finally, I reluctantly went to bed, promising to bring help first thing in the morning. I called Mike at the crack of dawn, and he came right over with his lovely wife Nancy. They graciously brushed aside my apologies for interrupting their holiday, and Mike got right to work putting on his tree-climbing gear. With the nimble grace of someone with a ton of experience, Mike shimmied right up that tree, gripped the frightened cat firmly yet gently, and quickly rappelled back down. Within seconds of first being grasped by Mike, my Felix was returned safely to me, and I nearly sobbed with relief. A few minutes later, I was pulling out my checkbook, fully prepared for this holiday house call to cost dearly. I am not wealthy, but I would have spent my last cent to have Felix home safe and sound. I was deeply grateful for Mike's help and would have been more than happy to compensate him for it. But to my amazement, Mike and Nancy firmly refused any payment! They simply suggested that I make a donation to a charity of my choice (the shelter where we adopted Felix will be receiving a check shortly :). You don't come across that kind of integrity every day. I was stunned. I will be using Affordable Tree Experts for all my tree-related needs in the future (hopefully no more involving cats!). When you meet a professional with that kind of character, you stick with them. Thanks again, Mike and Nancy!!

The quote process was straight-forward and Mike is all business. I recommend using text-messages to communicate because he is often on the road or otherwise unable to answer the phone. We had a half-day "fill job" and had a lose schedule of about a week. Five business days later; the tree was gone. The day before the work was performed we got the scheduled time. The crew was all business but friendly, arrived on time and removed the tree then ground the stump. They cleaned up the area with rakes and were on their way. The quoted priced matched the bill and we couldn't be more pleased.
