I highly recommend Mike, Andrew, and all of the great folks at Forest Keepers for your tree removal needs! Their estimate process was efficient and their rates were very reasonable. They took down two large trees and ground the stumps all within a single morning. Will definitely be working with them again!

Mike and his team were absolutely phenomenal. A tree in our yard fell on the house, and they were the next day with some impressive equipment and cleared the tree and the stump within a couple hours. I had multiple questions regarding possible further damage and they patiently answered my question.

They were very respectful of both my property and the neighbor's.

Overall, the conducted themselves with a level of professionalism and confidence that let me know the problem was well in hand.

I will definitely contact them again.

Our HOA has ForestKeepers on speed dial and they have always responded quickly and professionally. Mike organizes his team to work efficiently and you can tell that they take their work seriously, but enjoy doing too. I chose them for work on my own property and I recommend them highly.

I've used Forest Keepers three times in the past year or so (I have lots of trees), and I have to say that they are professionals. On time. They do what they say they are going to do. And their rates are competitive. Furthermore, because of their equipment they can get into tight spaces with minimal effort on your part.

Second time I've had Forest Keepers out to trim and remove trees. Very impressive work both times. They're fast. They clean up everything and the price is reasonable. I have a bunch of new plantings right under the huge limb they removed and no damage to any of it. I high recommend them.

Mike and his crew came out today to remove a dying and overgrown tree from our yard. He was so kind to work around our schedules so one of us could be home without taking off work. He kept in close contact with me about availability. Him and his crew were timely, efficient, and exceeded my expectations. I am so happy with the work and clean up was amazing. They even took the extra step to grind down the giant root across the yard we kept tripping on. My son has more space to play now in our yard. And not to mention Mike has the most competitive and affordable prices in town. We definitely will be using this company for our future needs. Thanks so much Mike! My son said he loves his new yard.

By far the best tree company in the area. I’ve had them remove trees and grind stumps and trim branches multiple times over the past decade and they’ve always done a fantastic job. Fast, friendly, and reliable with very reasonable prices. These guys are the rockstars of the tree care industry!

Mike and his team were true to there word and took very good care of trimming trees for us. They were on time , great communication, and professional all around. It was amazing to watch them work!

Forest Keepers did a great job removing some mature trees that were above our power lines and rooftops. They were quick and efficient. Highly recommend them!

I have used Forest Keepers over the past few years to get my overgrown property under control. They have always been professional, and I have been delighted with their work. They were willing to split my very large job into segments to accommodate my tiny retirement income. They were also interested in my preferences. For example, at my request, they left a large stump of one of my trees that I now use as a platform bird feeder. They went to great trouble to work around a very large dead tree that I am keeping for my redheaded woodpeckers. I plan to have them back to do pruning and whatever else we may need. I wouldn't think of hiring any other company.

I've used this crew at my house and at my parents' home. Their prices are very reasonable, they show up at the appointed time, and they do quick, clean work. No drama, no surprises. They are polite and professional. Highly recommended.

They did a great job. Very professional and with outstanding equipment. Also, at half the price of 3 other bids I'd received! I recommend them.

Had a very large tree removed on the side of my house and these gentleman did an incredible job getting it over the house away from anything that could be damaged! They cleaned everything up and were so courteous!! I highly recommend for any of your tree needs!
Thank you Parats!!

I would give more stars if I could. Parats the owner was quick to come look and give a quote and was able to get job done earlier and in about 30-40 mins. Parat did a walk around with me to make sure everything looked good and off they went. Seriously. Just call these guys and you will be satisfied 100%.

Forest Keepers did such an amazing job on removing bushes, bush stump grinding, clean up and tree trimming. Very pleased with their service. Reasonable price with quality and professional team work. Definitely would recommend to anyone needing tree care service.

The Forest Keepers were great with everything from the way the positioned their trucks and operated their incredible cherry picker, to the care they took in handing down the sliced limbs. I would recommend them to anyone.

Erin Brown

Used them to cut limbs hanging over my house from my neighbor’s tree. They did excellent work, answered my questions and was reasonably priced. Even cleaned my gutters and cleared off my porch roof!

Tim Wedan

Fast, affordable, do good work. Only place to get back to me within the same day when a large tree limb had partially fallen in our yard and street.

Patrick Madden

Forest Keepers came to my rescue! They were the first on site, and found a way to work in my smaller but timely job right away. He was very kind and reasonable in price, trees were climbed and brush all hauled away—it’s beautiful and such a relief! No more limbs scraping the roof and no more walnuts dropping on our heads! I’m very thankful and pleased with the finished work.

Mary Parkinson

Super helpful, super professional. I had a low branch on my favorite 40 year old redbud tree and I've been afraid to call a tree service because in the past we've had tree companies that got carried away and took too much tree. Forest keepers came quickly and solved the problem. Me,my son, my garden and my car all appreciate it!

I contacted 7 tree removal businesses and Selected Forest Keepers for the job. They were very fair on price and were very professional. I will use them again and I highly recommend them.

Derek Shaw

Parats and his crew cut one tree down and trimmed two huge trees in my yard. The cost was under what I was originally quoted by another tree service. The guys did great job and they cleaned up the mess nicely. I would definitely recommend Forest Keeps and will use them again in the future.

Ben Twaddell

Very Respectable, honest, did what he said he would do, cleaned up work area when finished. Would highly recommend them!!

We were very happy with the professionalism, work ethic, and respect for our yard that was shown by Forest Keepers Tree Care. We would absolutely recommend them and will use them again.

Alyssa Bell Jackson

Parats and his team did an amazing job removing one of our tress and pruning three others. They worked quickly and were committed to helping us keep our existing tees as healthy as possible. Their price was very fair compared to other quotes we received. I can't recommend them enough.

Very impressed. Very professional. Cleaned up our trees , cleaned and raked all the limbs and branches off the ground. Did a quick job of 2 huge trees desperately needing lots of dead limbs removed and pruning. Top notch knowledge and equipment. Very reasonable. Yes we recommend them highly. Also going to our other home to clean up 4 more trees. They have a cherry picker, huge chipper truck and another huge truck for chopping down huge trees. My eyes popped out when I saw all the equipment. Great job guys. Thank you forest keepers Tree Care. Great job!

Matthew Obrakta

Amazing work! They removed with ease our large 100+ yr old tree that had been arching dangerously over our house for many years. It was somewhat of an emergency, and they were able to scheduled us the earliest and were the most affordable. Done in 4 hours! Highly recommend them.

Malcolm L. Snead
May 5, 2020

Nice people. Responsive to my changing requests. They removed two large cottonwoods with a crane and cherry picker and a huge crew in about six hours. They were efficient and safe. They cleaned up after themselves. I would have them do work for me again without hesitation.

Parats Wolfe was the lead on my project. He is a pleasant man who knows his Bussiness. He was straight forward to do business with and honest.

Bruce Webber
May 5, 2020

Parats was professional and great to work with. I got a prompt quote (to remove a stand of trees endangering a telephone line) that didn't seem unreasonable, and work began as soon as the weather was good for it. I went to work in the morning and when I came home, the trees were gone! They also treated the trunks so they would not grow.

I highly recommend Forest Keepers!

I own a lawn care company in Lawrence Kansas and have referred many of my clients to them . Forest Keepers is my go to referral for any tree services, very friendly, professional and they really care about your property.

Travis Stephens
Sep 29, 2019

Parats and his crew are amazing! They removed a huge, hollow tree in our neighbor's front yard that was a threat to both our houses. The area was tight but they were able to navigate through all obstacles safely without incidental damage to surrounding fencing, landscape and power lines. They also were conscientious of any living critters in the tree, which I really appreciated. The job was done faster than estimated and they charged less than any other company we got quotes from. We highly recommend Forest Keepers!

Sharon Nowak
Sep 26, 2019

Hardworking, focused, safety conscious, knowledgeable and reasonably affordable. It was visible that Parat and his team enjoyed and derived satisfaction from their hands on work in the outdoor environment. Nobody likes to see old trees cut down, but sometimes they gotta go. These guys did a fantastic job getting in and out of tight and not so convenient areas...And the clean up was great too!

Phillip Loth
Apr 17, 2019

Used this company twice, they are amazing! They go above and beyond each time. They were affordable and extremely knowledgeable. He explained what all the trees were on our property and how to care for them. He informed me that a limb i wanted to cut was not needed and would be better to keep.So he even saved us money where other bidders were happy to take my money.

Frank Barthell
Apr 12, 2019

After and before photos. These guys were great. Despite the conventional wisdom you were fast (they really stayed focused), cheap (two big trees and one smaller one taken down and a whole lot of trimming for $1600 and good ( thorough and they cleaned up completely) all in about four hours. And we didn't have to wait weeks for the work to get done. We have a lot of trees on our Lawrence property, and will use Forest Keepers to maintain them.

Parat and his team were prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. They helped us remove our 15 foot dead pine tree just a couple of days after we called for a very reasonable price. We are so grateful!

Danielle Loth

Parat and his crew did an amazing job. He is very knowledgeable and made sure we were happy with the job they did. They cut down one large maple tree and trimmed two others. We couldn’t be happier about choosing them for the job. We will definitely recommend.

They had ALL the right equipment. It was quite an impressive operation, yet they took the needed time to keep from doing any damage to my property.

Parats Wolfe, of Forest Keepers, is an amazingly kind guy who helped me get my cat out of a tall tree. He did a fabulous job and even though he wasn't trimming my branches, I could tell he is very professional and I will use him again in a heartbeat (for my trees & cats lol).

Celeste Brabec
Nov 25, 2018

Fantastic! I can't say enough! I started with getting an estimate to cut out one huge dead broken tree. I liked the people and their work so much I added a bunch of other "forest keeping." Parats didn't miss a beat with all the details I mentioned that were important to me. He clearly cares deeply about both trees and people - and that was exactly what I was looking for. He went above and beyond to not only do the work, but also to give great suggestions on options for now and the future. On time and great communication throughout the project, which was a pretty big job. They will definitely be my first call in the future, and if you need this type of work done, Forest Keepers is the one to call.

Rick Palmer

Parat and the crew were very professional . They had all the necessary equipment to perform the job ,and completed much faster than I thought it would take . I would definitely use them for any future projects that are needed .

When I called Forest Keepers, Parats responded right away and even came over on a Sunday to give an estimate on my two huge and dying oak trees. With Parats and the grappler operator's exceptional skill they were very careful not to drop any large branches on my hedge row of yew bushes and the other trees. The ground crew also did a good job of clean up. They even went out of their way to fill two trash cans of wood chips for me. I was pleased with their service.

The first time Forest Keepers came, he rescued Goldie from being stranded 3 stories high for a week in a black walnut tree. The second time the whole crew came to trim my 100 plus year old mulberry tree. They did more than they estimated. The tree has never looked so good in the 41 years I've known it. The neighbor plans to call them in the spring about his trees.

Shay Estes

Owner Parats Wolfe is kind, professional, and knowledgeable. He clearly cares deeply about both trees and people, and about the work he does with both. I will hire him and his crew again, and I will recommend Forest Keepers to all of my family and friends. They did beautiful work, and they did it quickly, leaving no mess behind. His rates were very reasonable, and he was responsive and easy to communicate with. If you need tree care, this is the right company to hire.

Robert Norris

Did a great job taking down 2 trees for me, one was over a power line.
I referred them to a friend, and now you.

Sharon Scharff

I needed help in a hurry, and he came very quickly, threw his ropes up in the tree, and took care of the matter in no time. Yesterday I called others who stood around, decided they couldn't do the job and left.

They did a great job trimming my trees. Their quote was accurate and they coordinated with me efficiently. The four (4) man crew got it done quickly and efficiently. My oak trees were heavy and dense but they completed it quickly.

Beyond a doubt--the best choice of Arborists in this part of the state! Great customer service, very polite and attentive workers. Quick and very efficient work, and watching parats work is like watching ballet in the tree tops! A master Arborist!

Great customer service! My call was returned immediately and they came out and gave us an estimate within 24 hours. I was very impressed with the work that was done and the clean up afterwards. The whole team was very friendly and professional. The price was very reasonable for all the trimming they did as well. We will definitely use Forest Keepers again and I highly recommend them and the work they do.

Melanie Wassenberg

Forest Keepers did excellent work. I had them trim some very old trees that portions were dieing, but I didn't want it all cut out. They came and trimmed up more of the trees than what my expectations were and it looks really nice in the area. They also cleaned up the entire mess of trimming trees, you would never know they had been there.

We had a 100yr old hackberry split in half yet miraculously remain standing causing a very serious situation. Forest Keepers looked at the tree within an hour of our call, gave a competitive bid and began the job less than 24hrs later averting certain disaster. Extremely professional, tidy work. We can’t thank them enough!

Anne Olerich

Quality work at a reasonable price. I appreciate that it's a family owned/operated business. Pride in work is evident, and he had his young son with him teaching him about the business.

5 Stars here! I can’t express in this short review all the positives Forest Keepers did for us in the removal of a 20 year old tree that was becoming a danger to our home. We are in Shawnee and Forest Keepers was prompt with their very affordable quote and even followed up with me on a holiday when most tree services would have been at the lake. They will be my only phone call when I have more tree work that needs done.

MaCoeur
Jun 22, 2018

Came out and provided enough information about a Hackberry tree I've got so that I could make an informed decision about whether it could be saved in the process of constructing a new addition. Very helpful information which I expected to pay for at no charge. Amazing.

A windstorm knocked down about half of a huge tree in my backyard. Called Parats at ForestKeepers and he responded immediately. They removed and cleaned up the fallen portion the same day and later (at my request) removed the rest of the tree. They were there exactly when promised, and did a complete and professional job. Their cost was quite reasonable as well. Hated to lose one of my trees but am happy that I now have a “Tree Guy”. Highly recommend ForestKeepers!

Anne-Marie Leiszler

I had an outstanding experience with Forest Keepers last week. After a large limb was about to fall in our backyard, knowing the urgency of the situation, Parats came out to give an estimate and his crew removed the branch the very next morning. Parats was extremely knowledgeable about the care and preservation of our large trees, he and his crew were timely, friendly and left our backyard impressively clean after the removal of such a large branch. I HIGHLY recommend Forest Keepers Tree Care.

Charlie Dominguez
Jun 6, 2018

I don't normally write reviews; nonetheless, the service I received from Forest Keepers goes beyond the norm. Not only was the service reasonably priced, but the quality of work was outstanding. The management team was quick to respond to my call for an estimate. Then they realized that the tree limb was precariously hanging and scheduled the removal for same day service with no additional cost. They had the equipment they needed, went beyond the expectation of cleaning up and removal. HIGHLY recommend using this firm.

John Cantrell

Excellent job trimming tree following wind damaging storm in Lawrence KS. Cut and removed broken limb and fixed branches to keep tree well balance. Prepared limbs in fireplace lengths staked near fireplace. Removed all small leaf bearing branches. Cleaned immediate area around tree, fireplace, sidewalks and house access porch.

Fantastic experience! Very professional, quality work. They went beyond even what I expected trimming my trees & removed all the debris from my property. I called other tree services before hiring Forest Keepers Tree Care, I just found them to be polite & take there time with me explaining things & answering any questions I had. I would definitely hire them to come back & do any other tree service for me. I highly recommend this group to anyone that needs any tree service, You won't be disappointed and you will be glad you called them. Thank you Forest Keepers!

I highly recommend Forest Keepers. Very responsive to my request for a bid . Very knowledgeable due to being a second-generation, family-owned business. Offered a good price. Completed the work quickly. Did a great job! Exactly as we discussed!

I'm very impressed with Forest Keepers. They showed up on time for an estimate and for the job that was needed.

These guys are the best. They have done tree work for me a couple of times and I will be calling them again! They are super awesome, very professional, quick and reliable. If you have trees to take out or maintain, call Parats and crew!

Nicholas Syrett

Parats and his crew have now done two trims for us, and they have both been great! First he came out and surveyed our trees, then wrote up a list of what needed to be done. We wanted to take the work in stages, which was not a problem. Forest Keepers has done great work for us. Our sad and dying magnolia tree is now blooming beautifully!
