Michael’s Tree & Loader Service has provided professional tree services throughout Memphis, TN, and St. Louis, MO. We work with homeowners, businesses, contractors, municipalities, and property managers, delivering tree removal, tree trimming, plant health care, stump grinding, land clearing, storm cleanup, debris hauling, mulch, and disaster recovery services.

We built our reputation doing the hardest work in the industry: storm response, disaster recovery, and large-scale clearing. That work taught us what safe practices, reliable equipment, and honest service really mean, and those lessons still guide everything we do. As we’ve grown, we’ve brought that same capability to complete tree care and plant health care, helping customers keep trees healthy long before they become hazards.

Every project begins with an honest evaluation. Our arborists assess your trees and your property, explain what they find in plain language, and recommend what your trees actually need, whether that’s preventative care, pruning, or removal when it’s truly necessary. Our crews then build a work plan around the safest, most efficient approach for the job.

For more than two decades, we’ve built long-term relationships on reliable service, clear communication, and consistent results. Trees do best with ongoing care, and we’re proud that so many customers who first called us for a storm cleanup or a removal now trust us to care for everything still standing.
