Strobert Tree Services, Inc.

Strobert Tree Services has worked out of Wilmington, Delaware since 1998, and its BBB page — an A+-accredited listing — along with ISA-certified arborists on staff, points to a company built for full-scope tree work: removals, storm cleanup, pruning, stump grinding and plant health care. The written history is thin in volume but consistently strong. In June 2025, one reviewer described a crew that took down five large pines, ground the stumps and cleared the debris safely and professionally after an arborist gave a reasonable quote; another that same month said the job went quickly and the crew cleaned up completely afterward. Further back, a 2016 review credited the company with saving a storm-damaged birch tree that was in danger of splitting, calling the price fair and the cleanup thorough. On the major review platforms, HomeAdvisor and Angi both show 4.5 stars across 343 ratings, with about four in five rated the full five stars. That said, two accounts stand out from the pattern. In a May 2026 review, a customer described rushed tree-trimming work, repeated crew problems, and a dispute over correcting the job and getting a deposit back. Separately, in a January 2026 account, a former worker described a poorly run operation, high pricing and what they called unethical practices — a different kind of complaint than a customer review, and one with no other account backing it up. Worth asking about before booking: how the company handles a job that doesn't go as planned, since the one negative customer account this year centered on exactly that. One directory, BuildZoom, lists Strobert under a Virginia landscape-contractor license and a different set of services (retaining walls, pergolas, sunrooms) that don't match its tree-service focus anywhere else — worth confirming which listing is current before relying on it. For most tree jobs — removal, storm damage, pruning, stump work — Strobert's Delaware track record across BBB, HomeAdvisor, Angi and Houzz points to a crew that shows up, does the work cleanly, and charges what it quoted; the one recent negative account is worth weighing against that pattern before a larger or more complicated job.
