Not Your Average Tree Care Company

We were excited to learn all about how Matt’s Tree Service has been able to build such an impressive reputation, so we sat down with the owner, Matt Swearingen.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Matt’s Tree Service stand apart from their local competitors. Matt told us about the care he took in choosing his equipment. Matt told us:

“I’ve spent a lot of time, years, getting my equipment set up. It’s all light-weight. We don’t have big, giant, heavy trucks. I have a 70-foot lift that runs on a track. It can go across lawns, so it’s very lawn-friendly. The footprint is small…So instead of going in your yard with a 30,000-pound truck, it’s about a 5,000-pound piece of equipment on tracks.”

He continued by telling us a bit about his business’ mission:

“My whole business premise revolves around trying to get the most work done in the shortest period of time with the least amount of disturbance to your yard as possible.”

Building Success Through Excellent Service

With as impressive a reputation as Matt’s Tree Service has, it is no wonder word of mouth has been their primary source for new clients. In fact, Matt tells us they really don’t invest in any other kind of marketing!

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Matt’s Tree Service has managed to. We asked if Matt could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what they had to say:

“With any business, it doesn’t matter how much money you want to throw [to] online[resources]. You have to make the customer happy.”


Congratulations to Matt’s Tree Service for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Matt for taking the time to speak with us!
