Dear A-1 Professional Tree Service:
I am writing to thank you for your prompt attention in helping
us with a dangerous tree situation we had on campus. You were
here to investigate the situation in a very timely manner and had a
crew here right away. The crew was very professional and showed
the upmost respect for our surroundings.
I will definitely recommend your services to anyone in need.

M. D. Morris - Crystal Downs Country Club
To Whom It May Concern:
In 2007 and 2008 we have used A-1 Professional Tree Service to
cut and remove trees along our roadways and in our woodlots. They
performed all of their work on time and met all expectations. Their
pricing was fair, and their workmanship was excellent.
The owner, Henry Husted, met with me to review the work we
had planned, made sound recommendations, and followed up on the
work after completion. Henry and their staff also completed other
work that was necessary and became obvious during the project--so
everything was complete and did not require a call back.
I would recommend A-1 for tree maintenance and clearing, and
would be happy to personally discuss their work with any prospective
client.
Dick & Sharlene Bogard
Dear Henry:
We just wanted to let you know how impressed we were with the
tree cutting job you did for us. Your crew is amazing! It is hard to
believe that four trees could be removed without any harm to
bushes, flowers or our yard. We expected to have to redo the grass
in the entire area, instead we only had to fill a few small holes made
where the larger logs fell.
Your crew was very efficient, courteous and neat, cleaning up
the entire area where trees were removed.
We highly recommend your business to anyone needing trees
removed.
D. Banks - General Manager- Red Lobster-Traverse City, Michigan

Dear Henry:
Brad and I would like to thank you for the great job you did
cutting down our trees at The Lakehouse. We were amazed at the
way you performed your job, and fascinated by the way in which
your workers took great care in removing the trees on the steep
slope and next to the house.
We would also like to thank you for getting these trees down
in a timely manner so that it did not interfere with our summer

Dear Henry:
Recently one of your crews was at my home to remove some
trees. They did a splendid job. The men were prompt, efficient and
polite. Great care was taken so that there would not be any damage
to the lawn or flower beds. The crew worked very well together and
I considered it a job done well.
I would also like to thank your office personnel who was very
prompt in returning phone calls, giving an estimate and confirming
the appointment. The work was performed as it was said it would
be.
It was a pleasure to do business with your company and I
would highly recommend your service.

On behalf of Buckley Community School, I wish to express our

Again, thank you for your significant contribution to our school
district.

We plan to have more clearing done in the near future, and we
definitely plan to use their services again.
