Preservation Tree NH, LLC

Preservation Tree NH is an owner-operated tree service based in Concord/Merrimack County, New Hampshire, run by Mike Stevens. It offers tree removal, pruning, health assessments, commercial tree work, firewood delivery, and emergency tree removal across about two dozen Merrimack County towns. The owner cites 25 years of experience, though the Better Business Bureau lists the LLC itself as started in May 2019; the BBB has not issued a rating for lack of information, and the business is not accredited. The written history here is deep and remarkably consistent: 36 reviews from 2022 through 2026, every one of them five-star, with six in the last six months and none negative. Reviewers repeatedly describe Mike and his crew removing trees in tight, risky spots — right next to power lines, propane tanks, houses, and neighbors' gardens — without damaging anything nearby. Several describe multi-tree jobs, including one where an entire wooded area was cleared to make way for a backyard, and another where four large pines came down close to a home with no visible trace afterward. Emergency response comes up often, too: a 2025 review describes Mike clearing a tree that had partially collapsed between a roadway and an electric line before it could cause more damage, and a 2024 review describes an immediate response after a tree fell on a house. Reviewers consistently mention fair, transparent pricing and clear communication, and a few describe Mike staying flexible when a job turned out bigger than expected — one 2025 review describes him working out an agreement after removing trees exposed more dying trees that needed to come down too. Beyond tree work, firewood delivery gets its own steady stream of praise: reviewers describe clean, well-seasoned wood, fast delivery, and Mike personally dropping cords off in tight spots, sometimes within a couple of days of ordering. One thing worth flagging: the company's own website lists a four-person 'team' page, but every profile carries the identical unedited placeholder text from the website's template rather than real bios — so while the reviews consistently and specifically describe Mike doing the work himself, that page shouldn't be read as evidence of a larger staff.
