See Who Customers Voted Top Local Arborist
Below is a list of the top voted tree services in Detroit for 2020. One of the most importing factors for customers when choosing a tree company is the previous customer reviews.
We decided to take a bit more of a mathematical approach when deciding on the winners for this year.
You see, some reviews hold more weight than others. Facebook reviews are renowned for being filled with reviews from friends, but that being said, there are a lot of legitimate reviews on that platform.

Est. 1982Who qualified to make the list?
To qualify to make the list, you needed to have a minimum of 20 reviews total across a minimum of 2 different platforms. This can be Google, Facebook, Yelp, Yellow Pages, Angies List, Home advisor or any other 3rd party review platform. Curated reviews taken on personal websites were not counted.
The company needed to be in business for a minimum of 5 years.
We feel that years in operation is a big factor as it speaks volumes about the competence of the business as a whole. A lot of the business on the list have been in business for 10 years or more.
GTQ rating formula
The GoTreeQuotes rating is a mathematical formula which takes into account the number for year in business, the number of reviews, as well as the average score.
We believe the provenance of a company and the number of reviews, is just as important as the average score. Just as long as that average score does not dip too much below the 4.0 mark.
The formula used:
Years in business X number of reviews / 1000 X Average score = GTQ rating
Example:
17 x 247/ 1000 x 4.95 = 208
Taking into account all three performance indicators of a business gives us a pretty accurate look at the overall satisfaction of customers while the tree service has been operating.
We found this to be the fairest and most procise way to do things.
