We will use them every time we need trees cut. Two years in a row now they have provided excellent results. They leave the place tidy afterwards and are complete professionals!

A fantastic company to work with. Two large trees fell, one hitting the other and then my house (no structural damage). Mills came out Monday, returned Tuesday, and safely removed everything despite the tricky situation. They cleaned up thoroughly, protected my lawn, and even left a stack of firewood at my request. Friendly, professional, and quick—highly recommend! 🌳 .

I Hired this company because of reviews by my neighbors. Their estimator, Alan gave me an estimate ($1750) to raise the canopy on two trees side trim our tree line, and trim a small weeping cherry tree. When they arrived, we needed to change some of the work..remove and grind out the stump of the cherry tree.This added only $100 to the bill. All in all, I would have no problems recommending this company.

Mike B.
They showed up on time for estimate, on time for the work, did a great job, cleaned up the mess and left posts and mulch where I wanted it. Will definitely use again if we need more tree work

My dad and I planned to remove a tree beside one of his mobile homes, but after looking it over I realized it could fall into the neighbor’s power line. I called Alan Browning with Mills Expert Tree Service and he came out right away, gave us a fair price, and had his crew there the next morning. They removed the tree without damaging the mobile home and cleaned the yard so well there was nothing left for our tenant’s mower to hit. It reminded me that tree work is best left to professionals. Great job, guys! 🌳

Woody S.
They were GREAT! As soon as the crews arrived they immediately got to work and continued to work quickly, efficiently and professionally. I was amazed at the quality of the work itself and also at the incredible cleanup job they did afterwards. We will absolutely use them again.

Angelina D.
Alan kept me in the loop, and even gave me a follow up call to make sure everything was done as expected

Greg S
I have an acre lot with many trees. Several trees needed pruning, and some needed to come down. They also did stump grinding, which is a big help. The crew worked together like a well-oiled machine! They did a great job, gave me some good advice, and cleaned up my yard. Thanks guys!

Joseph H.
They were great. Showed up when they said. Brought plenty of help and equipment. Very careful with everything in the yard. Clean up was immaculate. Good work on the trees as well.

Cliff P.
Went great!! Very professional, courteous... Cleaned up the area they worked in and left it better than they found it. Top notch company!! I will be using them from now on. I found this company on Angie's list because I did not know who to call. They were true to their estimate. You can believe all the good things you read about this company.

JD Mills Expert Tree Service delivers high-quality tree work at a fair price with an experienced, professional crew. They use proper equipment, including a bucket truck for high limbs, and grind debris as they go while keeping safety a top priority for both their team and your property. Their crew works efficiently with strong teamwork, and communication is excellent—they scheduled the job three days in advance and coordinated with the power company to safely drop a line before starting. The work, which involved large, mature oak trees, took just over two days and was handled with skill and care. You might find a lower price elsewhere, but it’s unlikely you’ll find better service. JD Mills is worth every dollar, and they’re the first call for any future tree work.

James W.
We have used JD Mills Expert Tree Service twice this year. The first time we called, Alan went out to our house and called that afternoon and gave us a very fair price for taking out thee (3) trees in our front yard, plus grinding the stumps. When Alan and his team arrived on the morning to actually cut the trees they were courteous and professional. They were able to take out all three (3) trees with very little to no damage to our front yard. The second time we used Alan and his team they cut and removed approximately 15 trees from our back yard. Again they were courteous and professional. They showed up on time and got right to work. We will be calling on them again in the future to remove a few more trees.

Paul S.
excellent personnel, high quality equipment, job well done at a fair price....I will hire them for my next tree work!

John K.
I sent a message through Angie's list on a Monday and received a phone call about 10 minutes after sending the message. They scheduled to come and quote the same afternoon. They were on-time, very friendly and helpful. I was told they had a cancellation the next day and could come out at 8:30am to start on the work. He told me exactly what would be done. Again, the team was 100% on time, did a great job, cleaned up and the price was as expected (and I felt it was very reasonable). Great customer service is often hard to find and is of great value to me. If you are looking for a company that is 1. responsive 2. on-time and 3. Does what they say they will do....look no further! I have no reservation in giving them a high recommendation.

Debby W.
Great job! John had his team onsite this morning and completed the work today. Very pleased. Roof, driveway, and carport all cleaned up. Yard cleared - nice pile of mulch and sawdust from stumps. Very professional. Did exactly what they said. Will definitely use JD Mills if I need tree service in the future.

Kim P.
Excellent results. In addition to the contracted work, they cleaned the gutters and hauled away additional brush from the back yard. We are very pleased.

Tracy N.
The work that was done by the tree experts from J.D. Mills was excellent!! They were punctual, professional and very friendly. Initially, they walked the property and answered all of our questions, provided a very competitive estimate and followed through on their statement of work and estimate. To summarize, they did everything they promised they would do at the price quoted. We definitely plan to use J.D Mills in the future and would strongly recommend them to friends and neighbors.

Vince Z.
J D Mills Tree Service did an outstanding job on our Leland Cypress trees. We must have a row of at least two dozen of these trees and they were badly in need of attention. Alan and his team handled the entire job in an exceptionally professional manner. They arrived at the agreed time and went straight to work. Every detail from start to finish was completed with nothing left undone. My trees now look the best ever in years. After the job was done I found no trace of them even being there except how much nicer my trees now looked! It's been several months now since the work was completed and I am still being asked who did such a great job! I recommend J D Mills Expert Tree Service to everyone. Thank you !! Jamestown NC

Robert Caso
John Was EXCELLENT! He came out, looked at how dangerous the situation with the tree was. Squeezed me in the very next day. He quote was right on target with all the other quotes I had gotten. He and his crew were on time, courteous, professional and they fully cleaned up after themselves. My backyard is difficult to navigate, they took great care not to cause any damage and worked around several power lines. One of the biggest reasons I selected him was because he used a cherry picker truck. I feel for my situation it was much safer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Joy P.
They were very prompt and responsive. They were able to get it done within a couple of hours of getting the phone call.

Jonathan A.
JD Mills provided the best estimate by far (and very quickly) and when they did the work they did a very good job. Their communication between giving the estimate and finally getting the work done could have been better. I don't believe I ever got a final start date on the work. I just came home one day a few weeks (and a few phone calls) after receiving the estimate and the trees were gone.

Shawn P.
I had a number of trees to remove and these guys did an excellent job....including removal of the trees....also cleaned up after themselves and even did a couple of extra favors and trimming....I couldnt be more happy with this company and would definitly use them again.....I personally think they are the best out there and the price was very competitive with the other companies I called.

Phil L.
A++++ job well done. Area left clean. Reliable, respectful workers

Frank B.
The crew did a great job. They worked hard for two days to safely cut the trees down, grinded all the stumps and did an excellent job cleaning up the area. Update: We had a landscaping company come out to scrape all of the stump grindings off the soil and level the yard so that we can grow grass and have a nice backyard. The workers found about 5 stumps that were not ground. This is disappointing since we were looking forward to have a nice level back yard that would be easy to mow and safe for our kids to play on.

Scott B.
Excellent service! I had storm damage on Friday morning, and called Mills mid monring on Friday. They were at my house before noon and gave us a quote and time to do the work. They were back by 9:00 AM on Monday, and all work was done before noon. Everything was cleaned up and hauled away. I will definitely use them again in the future.

Patrick M.
Much, much better than expected! Very professional, cleaned up afterwards and worked fast!

Richard Q.
THEY MADE SURE THAT ALL THE DEBRIS WAS PICKED UP AFTER THEY GOT THE JOB DONE. THEY WERE EXTRA CAREFUL OF MAKING SURE THAT THE BRANCHES AND THE TREES DID NOT FALL ON OR DAMAGE ANYTHING.

Homeowner
I scheduled a 5:30 appointment for a quote, and Alan showed up right on time. We walked the yard together while I explained what I wanted done. He took notes, made a few helpful suggestions, and gave me a couple of quotes on the spot. He also explained how certain trees should be trimmed and offered to send proof of insurance, which I received the next day. After talking with him and comparing a few other estimates, I decided to go with JD Mills. They scheduled me for the following week and showed up on time. The crew worked steadily through the day, and when I stopped by at lunch, I spoke with the foreman who had been with the company for 30 years. I was expecting the trees to be cut back heavily like I’d seen before, but instead they were properly thinned and still looked natural. We kept the shade, and nothing looked overcut. They cleaned as they worked, using a chipper, and when they finished, you couldn’t even tell they had been there except for how good the trees looked. They did an excellent job, and I would absolutely recommend them.

Professional Tree Services  for Your Property

Tree Trimming and Pruning

Good tree trimming and pruning does more than just clean things up—it helps your trees stay healthy, grow the right way, and keeps your property safer, especially when storms roll through.

When trees are properly trimmed, they develop stronger structure and are less likely to drop limbs without warning. It also makes a big difference in how your yard looks, letting in more light and giving everything a more cared-for appearance. On top of that, keeping branches in check helps protect your home, driveway, and anything else nearby from potential damage.

Tree Removal Done Safely

Sometimes a tree just gets to the point where it’s doing more harm than good. It might be dead or starting to decline, or maybe a storm came through and left it damaged and unstable. Other times, it’s simply growing in the wrong direction—leaning a little too close to the house, the driveway, or even the fence.

When that happens, it’s usually better to go ahead and take care of it before it turns into a bigger problem. We handle tree removal in a way that keeps everything around it protected, using the right equipment and careful cutting so nothing else on your property gets damaged. It’s also pretty common to see roots starting to push into driveways or foundations, which is another sign a tree may need to come out before it causes more costly issues.

Stump Grinding and Stump Removal

After a tree is removed, what’s left behind can still get in the way. A stump sitting in your yard can make mowing and landscaping a hassle, and it often becomes something people can trip over without even realizing it.

Stump grinding takes care of that by removing the stump below ground level so the area can be smoothed out and brought back into use. It also helps keep bugs from settling in and prevents decay that can spread disease to nearby plants or trees. Just as important, it gets rid of that rough, unfinished look—so instead of a stump sticking up in the middle of your lawn, you’re left with a clean, open space that looks like it was always meant to be there.
