Reading the scorecard

Each card shows the live Google star average and the number of customer reviews behind it. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a small crew with a handful of reviews cannot outrank a busy one on stars alone. Recency reflects how lately customers are still leaving reviews.

What shapes tree service pricing in St. Louis

Tree work is priced job by job. Height, how close the tree is to a house or power line, whether a crane or bucket truck is needed, how steep or tight the yard is, and whether stump grinding and haul-away are included all move the quote. No prices are published here.
