Stillman’s Tree Service has been cutting, trimming, and clearing trees across Manatee County and north Sarasota County for twenty years. Andrew Stillman still runs the company his name is on, and the reviews below come from homeowners and property managers he and his crew have worked for directly. Nothing on this page is written by us. What you see is pulled straight from Google.

Testimonials
Every review on this page comes from our Google Business Profile. That’s the same listing you’d find if you searched “tree service Bradenton” and clicked through to see who’s actually done work in your neighborhood. We don’t select which reviews show up here, and we don’t edit them. If a customer had a rough experience, that stays visible too, because a filtered page isn’t worth much to anyone trying to make a real decision about who cuts down a tree in their yard.
If you’ve worked with us and want to add your own, the fastest way is through our Google Business Profile. A short note about what the job was, how the crew handled it, and whether the yard was clean when they left is more useful to your neighbors than a star rating on its own.
Read enough tree service reviews in this area and you start to notice what actually separates a good job from a bad one. It’s rarely about the cut itself. It’s whether the crew showed up when they said they would, whether they protected the lawn and the fence line while a fifty-foot laurel oak came down in pieces, and whether the yard looked better than they found it once the truck pulled away. Cleanup gets mentioned more than almost anything else in this trade, because a company that leaves stump debris and sawdust piled against a fence isn’t finished with the job, whatever the invoice says.
Response time comes up often too, especially after a storm rolls through Manatee County and half the county needs a downed limb off a roof at the same time. We won’t promise a specific arrival window here, because nobody can honestly guarantee that during a busy stretch. What we can tell you is that we’ve been answering that same phone number for twenty years, and the people who call back season after season are usually the ones who got a straight answer the first time, even if the straight answer was “it’ll be a few days.”
Price comes up less than people expect. Most homeowners who leave a review aren’t comparing us against three other quotes anymore by the time they write it. They’re telling you whether the estimate we gave matched what they actually paid, and whether the crew explained why a tree needed to come down instead of just showing up with a chainsaw and getting to it.
An estimate from us is free, whether you’re dealing with a live oak that’s dropped a major limb, a queen palm that’s leaning more than it should, or a hedge line that’s outgrown the fence it was planted along. Someone comes out, looks at the tree, and tells you what’s actually going on with it and what your options are. There’s no charge for that visit and no obligation attached to it.
If you’re weighing us against another company, reading a handful of reviews from people who had the same kind of job done is a reasonable way to spend ten minutes before you pick up the phone. Look for the details that matter to your situation specifically. A glowing review about hedge trimming doesn’t tell you much if what you need is a crane-assisted removal near a power line, and a review about storm cleanup won’t tell you how someone handles a routine crown reduction on a live oak that’s just gotten too heavy on one side.
If you’ve read through the reviews and you’re ready to get a tree looked at, call 941-803-1309. We serve Bradenton and the surrounding communities in Manatee and north Sarasota County, and the estimate costs you nothing whether the job turns out to be a quick trim or a full removal.
