A M A Z I N G!!! Skip and his team do wonderful work start to finish. Some tree trimmers/ removers come in and just destroy your lawn. They take extra care by laying down big planks for their big boom truck to drive on. This leaves little to no trace. The clean up/ pick up vehicle had bigger balloon tires that don't tear up the lawn. The cut up, haul out, rake up, blow the area and grass that is laying/ pressed down so you hardly know they were there! They grind out the stump, remove all the wood chips, bring in black dirt and make it ready to seed. If you want the WHOLE job done, professionally, neatly, leaving almost no trace other than a black area with a missing tree, Skip and his team are it. Also, Skip is great at communicating. Sets your expectation as to when they will come and they show up! Would never hesitate calling them in the future. And he's an arborist so he knows his trees...a plus.
What our clients are saying
Excellent and professional work. Quick and responsive on given estimates and to questions. Removed 3 large oak and an ash tree with very tight work area. Trees between the house and garage. Efficient and cautious as they removed the trees without damaging the other plants and trees. Clean up was immaculate. Highly recommended!
Skip and his crew were outstanding. He dropped a large tree between two onshore docks with no worries. They also trimmed seven other trees to perfection. His cleanup was above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend TCTS.
We had a great experience working with Total Control Tree Service! Skip was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions about our trees. He and his crew got the job done in a quick and timely manner and made the process easy. Many of our trees were getting too large and overgrown and after he worked on them our yard is looking amazing! Highly recommend!
Hired Total Control to trim up a tree for me. They came out sooner than expected and did an outstanding job! Cleaned up very nice after the work too. Total Control Tree Service is the best tree service in the St. Cloud area!! Highly recommend.
This skilled team performed the tree work we discussed in a safe and professional manner. The end result was dramatic after trees and branches were removed and clean up complete. Pricing is reasonable and fair. Skip is not only a really nice guy, but extremely knowledgeable.... turns out he is a Certified Master Arborist! I highly recommend.
The trimming and clean up that was done for me was wonderful! Great pricing, high quality work, and friendly people! And when I had concerns about some tree health and bugs, they provided much relief and gave me a huge helping hand. Highly recommend!!
Skip was very easy to work with and got over to my place within two days of me originally calling him! Trimmed up branches between mine and a neighbor's yard and was finished up very quickly!
They have been very easy to work with! Removed several trees for me in the past and have always performed great quality service at an affordable price. I would highly recommend!
I found this tree service to be the best I have ever worked with. They were professional, safe, answered all my questions even about the trees they were not going to remove and pricing was explained and fair. I highly recommend this service.
Responsive, quick, clean, professional and a job well done!
Hands down the best tree guys we've ever used. They will be an easy referral for me. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Heck they left our yard cleaner than when they arrived! Nice rake job!
Had a great experience working with all around getting timely responses and a fair price to do the work. They did a great job taking down the large trees that were needed and would highly recommend!
They were very quick to respond, answer any questions I had and fit me into their schedule. I was not home when they were on site so they made sure to call and verify what I needed taken care of, as well as offer suggestions for the best outcome. Highly recommend!
After getting 4 estimates and listening to their ideas on how to prune several trees, I was very happy to go with Skip. He is the most accommodating and efficient person to work with and asked questions along the way to be sure he was doing what I wanted.
Total Control Tree Service did a terrific job. What I valued most was the knowledgeable advice and quality work and clean up. The price of the job was very fair but the advice was invaluable. I recommend them and will use them every time.
Skip came out and took down 3 big oaks that were starting to fall towards the house. They were not easy to get to. He took them down safely and efficiently while I was at work. Also took care of all the brush and left the wood in manageable sizes for us to keep just like we requested. Skip came out on time for the quote and the job, which was a big relief when the others bailed without a word. Highly recommend him, price was fair for the work needed. (I'm standing on my roof in the pics)
Recently, Skip and his crew were working with my neighbor to take down a couple of trees. I asked him to stop by for an arborist consult regarding a tree that was damaged by a local landscaping crew. He reviewed the tree damage and related dead branches. Removal was recommended. His price was very reasonable. The care taken to reduce damage to the surrounding lawn was superb. The cleanup was excellent. I'd recommend Skip to anyone.
Skip and Alex took down 2 big oak trees. They work fast and cleanup all the branches. Great work and easy, clear communications!! Highly recommend.
Skip and his crew did a great job on removal and the clean up was done very well.also trimmed a few other limbs from tree over the house for no extra expense.would recommend to anyone who needs tree work done.
Awesome! Easy to work with!
Total control was extremely professional and efficient at the removal of the tree behind my garage. Very careful and great job in confined area. Timely, punctual, and beat pricing of competitors. Thank you to total control for a great job done. Polite and respectful! Highly recommend!
Total Control Tree Service did an excellent job of removing a large tree that was hanging over our building and causing issues with our septic system. The team was professional, on time, and did an excellent job of cleaning up once the job was completed. I would highly recommend giving Skip and the team at Total Control Tree Service a call for any tree removal or trimming needs.
Great experience at a reasonable price! Skip was easy to work with, even had to bring in some special equipment. Had a large dead tree removed from the back of my yard. I was dreading the beating my yard was going to take. I was pleasantly surprised how good everything looked.
I would highly recommend Total Control Tree Sevice.

Skip and Spencer did an amazing job on our property. They showed great care working in tricky angles close to our house and worked safely, quickly and efficiently.
We recently moved to our first home and are hopeful for a thriving yard for years to come. Total Control Tree Service helped us learn about fertilization and promptly fertilized all of the trees on our property. Thank you for the great service!
Total control tree service has been a great company to work with! I have used them twice for big section of trees and each time has been great! They come when they say they will, are professional, do good work, and leave the site clean. Will definitely use them again!
Skippy & Spencer came out to trim our trees and did an excellent job. Cleaned up all the mess and they completed the job so much faster than I expected! Kids had a blast watching them. I highly recommend them for any tree trimming services.
We used them to remove a giant tree, some brush clean up, a small tree all on different occasions and have always had great results, they are so professional and clean up everything. We even had them put up our Christmas lights last year and got so many compliments. We have also had our parents use them and they were equally happy with the job done.
Wow! Spencer and Skip did a fantastic job with some tricky conditions. Needed to trim 2 mature trees in the middle of our landscaping. They climbed, cut, and lowered each branch without damaging a thing. We can see the lake again! Thanks guys!
It was a pleasure working with Spencer. Total Control did an excellent job at my house. They are true professionals and I would recommend them to anyone!
Good communication. They did a great job cutting limbs and pruning branches from a few of our trees. The cleanup was nice. Great job and good pricing!
Total Control did a great job removing a dead tree for us! They showed up on time and left the site nice and clean. We will definitely be using them again for future tree service!
Did a excellent job trimming our storm damaged tree and cleaning after the trimming. Reasonable pricing.
Came out for an emergency tree service. They were quick to get out and very responsive. Highly recommend!!
Skip came out and provided my struggling tree some fertilizer injections into the soil. He also gave some education and advice on future care for the tree so I can save it from further harm. Very helpful and prompt service. Highly recommend!!
We had Skip come out to take down a broken branch that was pretty high up. He trimmed the tree back from our house and did a great job. Total control tree service is prompt, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. I’ve learned so much about our trees and how to keep them healthy, as well as what to look for when we need to intervene. We will always use total control for all our tree needs!
Our family has had Total control tree service several time. We highly recommend working with Skip and his team. They were very respectful, dependable, knowledgeable. When service was completed they completely cleaned up.
Happy customers,

Excellent to work with. Very knowledgeable and passionate about their business. Wonderful company.
Skip and crew did a great job trimming my Oak. Fair priced and great service.
Totally professional services, work completed on time and exactly what we wanted and "no" surprises. If we need more tree removal done in the future they'll be the first we call. Great Job 👍🏻
Awesome crew. Came and dropped a huge cottonwood next to my house like pros. Top notch guys. For a fair price. Definitely recommend.
I cannot say enough good things about Total Control Tree Service! They recently removed a giant lead from an ash tree that was hanging over my house, fence, power lines, and garage, and branches from my neighbor’s tree that were overhanging the garage, and I was blown away! I was nervous about how it would all play out at first, but they made the entire process look easy. In less than four hours, they had the tree trimmed and big logs chopped, all without a single branch landing in my garden or damaging anything.
Their attention to detail and safety was impeccable, and I was impressed with how carefully they navigated around power lines and the structure of my home. Not only were they incredibly efficient, but they were also super nice and professional throughout the entire process. On top of all that, the quote I received was fantastic, especially considering the scope of the work. I couldn't be more thrilled with the result and highly recommend Total Control Tree Service to anyone needing expert tree care! They exceeded my expectations in every way!

We used Skip and his team at Total Control Tree Service to trim our tree. When Skip and his team came out they identified that the tree's root growth was causing the tree to slowly die. They offered an injection to help the tree in addition to the trimming. Without their knowledge and expertise our tree would have continued to get worse even with trimming. I will recommend Total Contol to all of my family and friends - trust the experts and Skip is certainly one of them!
Excellent service. Great clean-up after the job. Professional and affordable. They have the right equipment to do an outstanding job.
I can’t say enough good things about Spencer and his crew at Total Control. He came out quickly for a quote, which was significantly cheaper than the other company I contacted. The work was professional and they finished up faster than expected, even with a full clean up of leaves and brush. They’ll be my first call if I ever have more tree issues.
I had the Skip out recently to remove 3 large ash trees. It could not have gone quicker from first request to job completion. Manageable pieces left neatly stack for firewood and everything else gone and mulched in a short afternoon. We could not have been happier. We will have him back to treat our remaining ash trees when the time is right.
Amazing experience with this team! Highly recommend for tree services!
I was very pleased with my experience with Total Control Tree Service during April, 2025. Skip returned my voicemail promptly, and Spencer was out shortly thereafter to review the project and provide a quote that same day. The service itself was done professionally (stump grinding, tree removal, etc.) and the price was very fair. I would definitely use them again!
What a great experience with a great company! Had a tree stump removed, black dirt delivered and total clean up which was amazing! I highly recommend Total Control Tree Service. You won't be disappointed!
We had some storm damage to a tree and was worried it would fall and hit our house. I called Skip on a Friday afternoon. He was out within an hour for an estimate and was back Saturday morning to remove the tree. Have used them in the past …
Great to work with. Would use them again.
Awesome!! This was a small area to work in! They did it with excellence! And a great clean up to boot! Thank you Total Control Tree Service!
Knowledgable, skillful and hardworking team! Our 40 year old tree was starting to have roots spreading into our neighbors yard so, we needed to have it taken down. Total Control Tree Service had to work around utility lines and other trees and diligently directed the branches to fall in our yard and not our neighbors, which was very important to us. We would highly recommend Total Control Tree Service to all.
Skip and his crew were awesome! Showed up on time as scheduled and got the 5 tree stumps removed as planned...Highly recommend them and we will be hiring them again for our tree services!
Total Control Tree Service did work for me at my home and cabin. They did a top-notch job! Very professional team of guys and with nice equipment. I highly recommend Total Control Tree Service if you are looking for an arborist.
These guys went above and beyond when they trimmed a giant Chinese Elm tree in my yard. Reasonable prices, no mess and very professional!
Skip is an awesome, knowledgeable arborist. I had the chance to watch him do a tree removal and trimming job for someone else, and his professionalism really stood out. He worked safely, communicated clearly, and the whole setup looked organized and dialed in. Total Control Tree Service knows their craft.
Skippy helped us out a lot. My parents have some old overgrown trees that are very tall and overhang over their house. My dad is not able to reach up that high with his equipment. Skippy came out, by himself, and my dad was thinking "he is going to take all day on this". This was totally NOT the case. Skippy had the right tools and knowledge to efficiently remove all the tree limbs that were in danger of damaging their house. 2-3 hours and he was done on a project that had quite a few dozen, thick, limbs that had to be removed. Excellent work Skippy!
Skip did a great job on cleaning up some branches that were over hanging my garage and my neighbors house! Thanks again Skip!
They did a great job on our trees and cleaning up after!!
Skip did a great job trimming our trees. Highly recommend him.

Skip came out and did injections on my trees that were not doing very good, now they are thriving!
Total Control Tree did an awesome job removing a large section of a big tree that had died and was over hanging my house. Cleanup was well done. Very professional and efficient. 100% recommend, will call them again if I have any more tree related issues.
Spencer and his staff did an outstanding job.
We had 24 Oakes and 4 large trees with additional trees to be pruned.
They also ground the stumps and removed the debris.
We also had additional debris from other trees which they removed.
The cleanup was beyond what my wife and I could have imagined.
You would be extremely happy if you choose them as your contractor!
