McKinney Brothers Tree Service

Great Customer Service! Very happy with McKinney Tree. I will recommend them to anyone and plan on using them again.
Thank you!

A recent storm sent a huge maple limb into the neighbor’s back yard, damaging TWO neighbors fences. The tree in question is 60 years old, hated to remove it but need an expert opinion. Kirk (an arborist) determined that the tree is healthy so we had it pruned, he also removed a small dead maple and pruned two other trees. They were on time and did a great job cleaning up. They are a family owned business, doing business with them was a very positive experience.

I have used McKinney Brothers since I moved to Dedham, and have always appreciated the service, pricing and quality of work the company provides. I have never had any issues with my trees on my property because Kirk has always found the best way to stay out of trouble.

I work for a property management company and we had to hire a company to come out and take care of a few of our building which had trees coming onto the homes. Kirk was a pleasure to deal with. He was professional, on time, gave me a quote on all our properties at the end of the inspections & above all had a fair price. The day the job was scheduled they were on time, and to my surprise, got all the properties done in even less time then the original estimate. This is hands down one of the best tree service companies around.

A very large branch from an 80 foot oak tree and whole top of a hickory tree fell in our yard during a recent major windstorm. Within a few days of my call to McKinney Bros. Kirk McKinney showed up to assess the damage and suggest how the mess could be removed. (This was a major contrast to other tree removal companies who planned to send someone out to look at the problem about three weeks later!). Within 5 days, the McKinney crew was on site, taking care to prune the scarred branches, then clean up thoroughly without damaging my extensive gardens. They even cut the bigger logs to fireplace length and stacked them in a neat pile. I was very pleased with their work. I would definitely use them again if the need arises.

Fabulous service & professionalism all around! I had McKinney Brothers come over a year ago to give us an estimate on some tree maintenance. And a year later when I had the money together I contacted them again, they were able to find the estimate from a year prior & gave me the same price. A large crew arrived as planned about a week later & did a wonderful job. So glad I took their advice to trim back my beautiful trees instead of cutting them down.

Great Service. Friendly & responsive staff. Had a big tree in my backyard that was worrying me for months. McKinney brothers picked up the phone, and came over right away with a reasonable estimate. When I decided to have the work done they called me right back, came over and got the tree out in 3 hours!

Had tree damage to my garage. Filled out request form via web site, got answer same day. Got a call the next day, I gave them my address, they called from by house after inspection. Got a great price. Gave them the go ahead, they showed up the day after that and removed the tree from the garage, pruned all threatening branches cleared everything out, cleaned up the debris; all within a very short time. Prompt, professional, and courteous service. What else could you ask for. I was impressed.

Very Professional Service and Reasonable Rates
After requesting a quote on their website, I got a call and visit for a quote within 2 business days. After scheduling the removal of two trees, 3 stumps and many branches they came within the time promised. There was a crew of 8 men who showed up with a few trucks and all the equipment needed. The work went very safe and efficiently. The whole job took about 2 hours and cleaned up any evidence of their work. My yard looks great and I will call Kirk the next time I need any tree work.

I hired McKinney Brothers to remove overgrown bushes in my yard and a tree. They are very responsive and affordable! Highly recommend.

McKinney Brothers trimmed two very large maples in my yard, which were both overgrown to the point that there were many large branches over the house. That’s dangerous, obviously, and I don’t want animals using the branches as a bridge to the house and end up with families of rodents in the attic, even though they’d probably be super cute. Plus, I wasn’t sure about the health of the trees.
So I called McKinney Brothers and Kirk came by soon thereafter for an estimate. Kirk quickly determined that my trees were healthy, and admired their beauty. I like that! He discussed what his ideas were for pruning and asked how much shade we wanted to keep in the yard. I asked him about the fact that the trees are very difficult to get to, since they’re way in the back yard and you certainly can’t get a truck in there, and he was not concerned. The estimate was about what I expected. Pruning trees is not cheap. After the initial estimate, I waited 9 months before I had them come back and do the job. Hey, sometimes you have to prioritize expenditures. That was no problem for them, no need to do a new estimate.
When the day came for them to do the job, they said I didn’t have to be there. So I wasn’t. Why take a day off of work to micromanage a crew of professionals doing something I don’t know how to do? Had I been there, I would have probably asked that they cut back just a little bit more to provide more sun, but I own that and I think they were trying to preserve the pleasant shade in the yard. They trimmed a ton and cleaned up after themselves and then some. We had a bunch of fallen branches from storms, etc. and they cleaned those up too.

Needed a big maple tree trimmed in Newton, called about 5 different tree trimming companies and found that McKinney Bros were by far the cheapest and most professional. Their response was fantastic and they were very professional.
Showed up on time and the workers were very polite and cleaned up after the job.
I will use McKinney Bros for sure in the future, highly recommend them.

Thank you to Kirk and his amazing crew for taking great care of our trees. We had no problem with Hurricane Sandy or Nor’easter Nemo due to your preventive work.

We had two large hemlocks that needed to be removed. When I called the office Kirk McKinney replied within a day and came around for an estimate within a week. The tree removal was scheduled within another week or so. Considering that this is a busy time I appreciate the quick turnaround. On the scheduled day Kirk and his crew did a great job. They were in and out in about 30 minutes and cleaned everything up after they were done. He and his man were very courteous. Thank you for a job well done!

McKinney Brothers removed four enormous, overgrown Arborvitaes that dwarfed the front of our house. These shrubs aka monsters were present when we bought the house, and we had been meaning to get them removed. Kirk was very prompt to respond to our request for a free estimate– within a day he arrived at our home and we had our quote! Kirk was very professional and told us he creates the schedule on Sundays, and all jobs are scheduled within 2 weeks. We were glad to hear that we wouldn’t have to wait, as we wanted the job done ASAP! We called to book an appointment, and as promised, our job was scheduled the next week.
On the day-​of, the team called in advance to notify us that they were running ahead of schedule (they mentioned everything had gone smoothly before us). This worked out great; they arrived an hour earlier than our scheduled appointment time. Amazingly, the entire process was completed in under a half hour and looked great! We appreciated the fact they used a HUGE stump grinder to ensure that we would be able to re-​plant in the same place. Kirk also recommended that we remove a small sapling growing close to the house, so they threw that in too!
We were very pleased with the work of McKinney Brothers — the epitome of a great local family-​owned business!

I found McKinney Bros on Angie’s List and called them because of their service awards.
They pruned a bunch of trees on our property (including a massive old oak) and took down two trees — one smaller spruce and a +/​-​60 foot pine. They were exceptionally reasonable and Kirk took the time to explain to me exactly what they were going to be doing and why. The big oak and the 60 foot pine were on property lines between us and two of our neighbors, and Kirk and the crew were highly considerate of the neighbors’ property and privacy.
I was so impressed with how efficiently and quickly they worked, by how pleasant and considerate they were, and by how complete and clean a job they did, that I ended up buying the crew lunch! I felt like they’d earned their pay and more.
I’ve already recommended McKinney Bros to several people, and will absolutely be calling them again as tree needs arise.

I found McKinney Brothers when I was searching for Royer Tree Service, a company a friend had recommended. Boy, am I glad I did. And here’s why:
1. McK Bros is extremely responsive to prospective customers and highly proactive about making contact:
Since I know it’s wise to get a few quotes, I filled out online estimate request forms for both McKinney Brothers and Royer Tree Service. This was on a Saturday evening. By Sunday afternoon, I had an email from McKinney Brothers detailing their process for scheduling estimates. Kirk called Monday. I didn’t recognize the phone number, ignored the call, and didn’t check my email. Kirk followed-​up the morning’s call that night, and this time I answered. Meanwhile, I had *never* received any response to my inquiry with Royer Tree Service.
2. McK Bros demonstrates respect in every aspect of their work.
Kirk showed up exactly on time to do his estimate the following Saturday. Unheard of! And his crew was here at 9:00 on the dot today.
3. I felt like I could trust Kirk to give me advice about what to cut and how much to cut. Sometimes, it comes down to chemistry.
4. All of the guys on the crew were friendly, personable, and professional. It was apparent that they take pride in their work. They left my yard looking much neater and tidier than when they arrived.
Finding a contractor that you actually look forward to working with in the future is a pretty big deal. For me, McKinney Brothers is one of them.

We used the McKinney Brothers quite a few years ago to help take down two huge trees that were tilting perilously close to the house. Their estimates were lower than anyone else we called for a quote, and they were quick and clean. The best part was that they chopped and neatly stacked all the wood into log-​sized chunks so that we had enough firewood to last us for the next five years!
I’ve recommended them to several of my neighbors who have had other trees to take care of, and they are always reasonably priced and incredibly efficient with their work.
