A recent customer who hired the company to remove two large oaks said it took care to protect gardens under the trees. A recent customer said Mike's crew trimmed two trees at their house in Sudbury and the price seemed right for the work required.

A 2025 customer who arranged tree work for a school district in Hopkinton said Rich the owner walked the area of concern with them. A recent customer who hired the company to prune 5 trees, and who said they had worked as an arborist, wrote that the work was done from lifts and a bucket truck without a pole saw, and that many dead branches were left. **Strengths:** - Crane tree removal — a recent customer had 12 trees removed by crane - Garden protection — a recent customer said gardens under two oaks were protected - Storm response — a 2026 customer said they arrived within three hours **Concerns:** - Pruning thoroughness — a recent customer said many dead branches were left ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - 4.9 stars from 433 Google ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=American%20Climbers&query_place_id=ChIJMwnaTvdz5IkRcKyeK59pi6c) — “Google: 4.9★ from 433 ratings” - BBB grade of A+ and BBB accreditation _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/hopkinton/profile/tree-service/american-climbers-llc-0021-73303) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/hopkinton/profile/tree-service/american-climbers-llc-0021-73303) — “Better Business Bureau: accredited / certified / member” - The company says it has been in business for 30 years and describes itself as a MetroWest tree-care business _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://americanclimbers.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): Consistency matters.
