Recently, a customer shared a wonderful review about Tip Top Tree Service on Nextdoor, and several other people chimed in with their own positive experiences and recommendations. Seeing our customers speak so highly of our crew and our work truly means the world to us. ❤️

Unfortunately, the conversation also brought up something we hate to see—a homeowner sharing a negative experience they had with another tree company. And honestly, we wish every single homeowner could have a great experience with their tree service, even if that company isn’t Tip Top.

When a tree company is unreliable, leaves a mess behind, doesn’t communicate, or fails to finish the job properly, it doesn’t just hurt that customer—it can make people question the entire tree service industry.

We are incredibly proud to be one of the 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥, 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐝𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬, and we want to continue growing so we can reach even more homeowners who need honest, professional tree care.

So, if Tip Top Tree Service has helped you, 𝐰𝐞’𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭!

🚨 𝐀 𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐂𝐊 𝐏𝐒𝐀 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 “𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐄” 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐒…

For a few dollars, 𝐀𝐍𝐘𝐎𝐍𝐄 can buy a list of “tree service leads.” Qualified or not. Legitimate company or not. Licensed and insured or not.

𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 #𝟏: This is an actual text Joseph and I receive on a regular basis asking if we’re interested in purchasing more tree leads.

Notice something interesting? They used my maiden name… and we’ve been married for over 4 years.

Which got me thinking — if the company selling these leads doesn’t even have my updated name, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨?

𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 #𝟐: A recent text a customer received — and thankfully, he sent it to me so we could have a little laugh together. He had already blocked the number and reported it as spam when I asked him to see if he could find out the name of the company.

𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 #𝟑: Naturally, my nosy/curious self wanted to know exactly who this “local tree company” was. So I asked the very simple questions any homeowner should ask:

𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐝? 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝?

And suddenly… 𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄.

That brings me to the bigger point.

The SAME thing applies to those catchy postcards, flyers and advertisements you receive in the mail. They may have a great discount, a professional-looking design, and say “LOCAL TREE COMPANY” in big letters.

But please remember: 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 Seeing a company’s name on a flyer, getting a text, or receiving a mailer does NOT automatically mean that company is legitimate, licensed, insured, experienced, or even actually local.

𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐰.

Check their reviews. Check their credentials. Ask for proof of insurance. Ask if they are properly licensed. And don’t be afraid to ask questions!

And of course, we’d absolutely love the opportunity to provide you with an estimate before you make your final decision. ❤️

I can’t promise we’ll always be the 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐬𝐭 — and honestly, you should probably be a little concerned if that’s the only thing a tree company is competing on.

Not every tree is a storm hazard — but some conditions increase the risk.

⚠️ Keep an eye out for:
• Trees with multiple trunks (especially with weak unions)
• Large dead branches (“widow makers”)
• Hollow or decaying areas
• Root damage or exposed roots
• Trees growing at a noticeable lean
• Overgrown limbs pressing against your roof

Storm damage often happens because a hidden problem becomes a major failure during high winds.

A professional tree assessment can identify issues before Mother Nature does. Call Tip Top Tree Service today for your free evaluation and estimate.

The storm is over... but is your tree actually safe?

𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐛𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬. 𝐀 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐦.

Here are a few warning signs to watch for:
• New cracks in the trunk or major limbs
• Branches hanging or broken high in the canopy
• Fresh leaning or shifting at the base
• Uprooted or exposed roots
• Splintered limbs or bark peeling away
• Trees suddenly dropping large branches days or even weeks after the storm

Don't assume a tree is safe just because it's still standing. Some damage takes time to show itself.

If you're unsure, it's always better to have it inspected before the next round of severe weather.

• Inspect trees around your home
• Remove dead or hazardous limbs

• Clean gutters and drainage areas
• Have emergency contacts saved
• Know who to call if damage happens
• Understand your homeowners insurance policy
