Everything homeowners (and businesses) ask us most about finding a trustworthy tree service.
Is there a cost to use CertifiedTreeServiceNearMe?
No — using the directory costs nothing. You can search, compare, and contact any tree service on the site at no cost. We make money from providers who choose to feature or claim their listing, never from homeowners.
Are the tree services on this site licensed or certified by the state?
Not exactly — and this is an important distinction. Minnesota does not license or certify individual tree workers. What the state does is maintain a Tree Care Registry through the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, where commercial tree-care companies register. Our listings are built from that registry, so each company is state-registered. Separately, an individual arborist may hold a voluntary ISA Certified Arborist credential (issued by the International Society of Arboriculture, not the state) — it is a good thing to ask for. Always confirm a company current registration, proof of insurance, and references before you hire.
How do I check a tree service myself before hiring?
Confirm their state registration, insurance, and references directly with the provider, and verify any license or registration number with the issuing authority. Ask for proof of insurance, read recent reviews, and get a written estimate before any work begins. It only takes a few minutes and is the single best step you can take.
What areas do you cover?
We currently cover Minnesota — the Twin Cities metro, Rochester, Duluth, St. Cloud, and communities across the state, with thousands of listings. We’re expanding over time.
How often is the information updated?
Listings are based on public records and refreshed periodically. Availability, pricing, and services can change, so always confirm the current details directly with the provider before you hire.
How do I contact a tree service?
Open any listing to see the provider’s phone, address, and website where available, then reach out to them directly to ask about availability and request a quote.
I own a tree care business — how do I claim or add my listing?
If your business isn’t listed, or you’d like to claim and enhance your existing listing with photos and details, head to our add listing page or contact us. Claiming is the best way to keep your information accurate and reach local customers.
Do you guarantee the quality or safety of these tree services?
No. We provide listing information and provider details to help you research, but we are an independent directory, not a licensing or accrediting body. Always verify state registration, insurance, and references, and use your own judgment before choosing a tree service.
