Dear Mr. Husted:
Thank you very much for your generous donation of men and
equipment to remove eight dead trees at the recent Kid's Creek Park
work day. Your company's efforts were absolutely essential in
accomplishing the amount of progress that was seen in the corner of
the park where the tree work was undertaken. We greatly appreciate
your contribution to the Kid's Creek Park as we continue to develop
this hidden gem on U.S.-31.

Dear Mr. Husted:
After a final inspection of the work site, the work that you did
was beyond my expectations. I appreciate the extra care that you
took to preserve the surrounding landscape. I was even more
pleased that the job was completed ahead of schedule.
Your skilled work crew was professional and courteous. I will
use your services again in the future and I would recommend you
to anyone.

Dear A-1 Professional Tree Service:
I am writing to thank you for your prompt attention in helping
us with a dangerous tree situation we had on campus. You were
here to investigate the situation in a very timely manner and had a
crew here right away. The crew was very professional and showed
the upmost respect for our surroundings.
I will definitely recommend your services to anyone in need.

M. D. Morris - Crystal Downs Country Club
To Whom It May Concern:
In 2007 and 2008 we have used A-1 Professional Tree Service to
cut and remove trees along our roadways and in our woodlots. They
performed all of their work on time and met all expectations. Their
pricing was fair, and their workmanship was excellent.
The owner, Henry Husted, met with me to review the work we
had planned, made sound recommendations, and followed up on the
work after completion. Henry and their staff also completed other
work that was necessary and became obvious during the project--so
everything was complete and did not require a call back.
I would recommend A-1 for tree maintenance and clearing, and
would be happy to personally discuss their work with any prospective
client.
Dick & Sharlene Bogard
Dear Henry:
We just wanted to let you know how impressed we were with the
tree cutting job you did for us. Your crew is amazing! It is hard to
believe that four trees could be removed without any harm to
bushes, flowers or our yard. We expected to have to redo the grass
in the entire area, instead we only had to fill a few small holes made
where the larger logs fell.
Your crew was very efficient, courteous and neat, cleaning up
the entire area where trees were removed.
We highly recommend your business to anyone needing trees
removed.
D. Banks - General Manager- Red Lobster-Traverse City, Michigan

any area business and home residential need.

Dear Henry:
Brad and I would like to thank you for the great job you did
cutting down our trees at The Lakehouse. We were amazed at the
way you performed your job, and fascinated by the way in which
your workers took great care in removing the trees on the steep
slope and next to the house.
We would also like to thank you for getting these trees down
in a timely manner so that it did not interfere with our summer
rental season.
Please feel free to use us as a reference at any time.

Tina Lifsey - Maple City - 09/1998
Dear Henry:
Recently one of your crews was at my home to remove some
trees. They did a splendid job. The men were prompt, efficient and
polite. Great care was taken so that there would not be any damage
to the lawn or flower beds. The crew worked very well together and
I considered it a job done well.
I would also like to thank your office personnel who was very
prompt in returning phone calls, giving an estimate and confirming
the appointment. The work was performed as it was said it would
be.
It was a pleasure to do business with your company and I
would highly recommend your service.

It was my pleasure to do business with Mr. Husted and his
crew. They were very efficient, conscientious and in my opinion went
that extra mile to make sure I was totally pleased.

Dear Management team & Staff:
On behalf of Buckley Community School, I wish to express our
appreciation for the removal of several tree stumps. The stumps
were a safety concern as children tend to run on playgrounds and
trip. Your free service turned out to be quite helpful.
This Thursday night I will be sharing your nice efforts with the
community at our regular August Board of Education meeting.
Again, thank you for your significant contribution to our school
district.
N. Brown - Traverse City - 07/1997

A-1 Professional Tree Service recently cleared trees and shrubs
from around our cottage, and we feel that they did a super job. They
did everything that they were asked to do, and they left us in fine
shape.
We plan to have more clearing done in the near future, and we
definitely plan to use their services again.

your excellent service in removing the large trees from our property.
From cutting the trees and disposing of them, to grinding the stumps
and cleaning up, all work was of the highest quality.

certainly will recommend your service to others.
Jim Charron
Dear Crew of A-1 Professional Tree Service:
The morning of August 4th, I contacted Henry Husted at A-1
Tree Service to receive an estimate on the removal of four trees in our
back yard. Within 20 minutes, Mr. Husted arrived. He committed to
removing the four trees that afternoon. Even though emergencies
caused delays for their team, they arrived early in the evening and
completed all but a little bit of clean up before dark. They returned
first thing the next morning and went way beyond what I expected
in clean up. I could not be more pleased with their professional work
and would recommend them to anyone.
Leah K. Woods
Dear Henry:
I am writing to let you know that the work your team did for
us today was one fine job! We live next door to the Charrons and you
were kind enough to take our big white pine down this morning. Your
crew worked hard and Barry my husband has already given your
number out to two of his co-workers.
Barry has been trimming the tree for the past two years and
giving poor Mr. Charron heart failure needless to say. Today was an
emotional day for me because the tree and I have a history....I knew
deep down the tree needed to be cut down and maybe by just doing
it, giving me no time to think about it was the best way to go.
Sorry for my being so teary...Your crew took time to chat with
me when their work was all finished. You have a good crew working
for you....and I know Barry and myself will continue you to
recommend your tree service.
Thank you Henry....and thank you to your crew, may they
always be safe.
