Paul Bunyan Tree Service

Paul Bunyan Tree Service handles tree trimming and tree removal work out of Grand Prairie. Steve runs the company as owner and leads the crews that serve customers across Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, and Grand Prairie. The business offers a 10 percent discount to teachers, military members, and first responders. Arborists on the team focus on straightforward tree care that keeps properties safe and trees healthy.

Customers call when live oaks need their canopies raised or dead wood cut out, when massive pecan or red oak trees must come down, and when storm damage leaves limbs on roofs or across yards. Crews also grind stumps after removals, thin branches that touch each other or hang over driveways and pools, and shape older trees so they stay balanced. Reviewers name Steve, Mark, Kevin, Drew, and Misti for jobs that leave yards cleaner than before the work started and that protect fences, sprinklers, and nearby structures during the process.

Steve often shows up the same day for an estimate and crews arrive on schedule, even for jobs booked weeks ahead or called in early after overnight storms. They communicate through texts with photos when a tree sits in a tight spot between walls and fences, finish large removals in a few hours when needed, and keep prices reasonable for the amount of climbing and cleanup involved. Work covers the listed cities and crews pay attention to lawns, flower beds, and irrigation systems while they operate.

Reviewers give the company consistent marks for showing up on time, finishing with little leftover debris, and handling both simple trims and complex removals without damage to surrounding areas. The business earns a Google rating of 4.8 from 191 reviews, with frequent notes on fair pricing and careful work around older trees. DIRT Score 4.6 from reviews on Finds.

“Steve and his crew just finished giving my two live oaks a haircut. We’ve been using PBTS for six years I believe it is. They always do such a wonderful job at very competitive rates. Photos don’t do justice as to just how beautiful my trees look when looking up at them after Steve works his magic. It’s truly a work of art. Steve brings out the natural beauty of these live oaks. Thanks again guys. I can’t recommend them enough.”

“What can I say? Paul Bunyan Tree Service (Steve - Owner) and crew transformed my back yard into a Paradise. My south forty has no lawn, just trees, shrubs and ground cover. Steve climbs each tree and removes all dead branches and trims any branches that come in contact with each other or extends past a sidewalk, driveway or pool and thins as needed. He has such passion for the trees that I knew he was the ONLY ONE to do my job just from talking to him that first visit. I had so many trees growing together that he expanded my wonderful view. I had a Butterfly Garden for Birds planted this morning by a Nursery Specialist and her husband kept staring at the back yard. He said he could just sit and look at it every day. I will have him come back and every 2 years as recommended. Our front and side yards are small and they were manicured perfectly. When you need a Tree Specialist, use an Arborist and call PAUL BUNYAN. Don’t look for a deal because you YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Barbara & Jerry Kreisler, Kings Lake, McKinney”

“Steve and his crew were onsight right on time to take on a massive pecan tree in my backyard. They were all professional and courteous. Unfortunately, I had gone with another tree service initially when I decided it was time for the tree to come down. Well a week later and very little progress, I called Paul Bunyan. Steve came out to do an estimate the same day I called (yesterday) and he and his crew were here this morning and done this afternoon! HELL YEAH! I recommend this company.”

“I have a beautiful live oak tree in my front yard. Every 2 to three years the canopy needs to be raised as well as other trimming throughout the tree. Paul Bunyan always does a great job. I would not trust anyone else with the care of my tree. Thanks guys!”

“Paul Bunyon Tree Service was very professional and easy to work with from start to finish. They did a great job and the cleanup afterward was exceptional. The crew was efficient, respectful, and left the property looking better than expected. I would highly recommend them.”

“Arborist Steve with PBTS trimmed dead branches and shaped live oaks protecting property infrastructure.They provided safe service and cleaned up completely. They assessed my entire sprinkler system for possible over watering which could cause fungus and made recommendations. We have >50 yr old live oaks, 1 sweet gum and 1 pecan. We want to keep the trees healthy and beautiful so they can clean our air! Reasonable price for very hard work! Thanks guys!”

“I have used Paul Bunyan Tree Service two times, once to remove a diseased 70 foot tall red oak and to trim up the trees around it. Today they cut a huge dead limb off of a very old Pecan tree. I can't say enough positive things about Steve and his his crew (Misti, Kevin & Drew). They arrive on time, get to work immediately, pay careful attention to their personal safety and to the surrounding landscape and structures, leaving your yard cleaner than it was when they arrived. They are very professional and reasonably priced for the quality of service they provide. I will use them for future projects and would recommend them to anyone with questions about the health of their trees, (Steve is a certified arborist), or anyone who needs trees trimmed or removed.”

“I texted Paul Bunyan a picture of my tree. The tree was located in a tight corner between my wall and fence. In fact, 2 other tree services refused this work. Paul Bunyan said they could do it. They gave me a date. They kept that date, and completed the tree removal and stump grinding on the date we set 2 months in advance. When they came out, they were done within 3 hours! I highly recommend Paul Bunyan for your tree removal needs. And Misti, in the office, is great to work with! Thank you, Paul Bunyan, for superb customer service and quality work! (please see my before/after pictures attached.)”

“My thanks to Steve and his crew for the awesome trim job on my trees. My trees have never looked better. Steve was great to work with from the initial call for service through completion of the trimming. He was professional, personable, and highly knowledgeable. Steve took time to explain the particular needs of my trees and future care. The crew took great care during the trimming and the clean-up. I would highly recommend Paul Bunyan Tree Service to anyone needing this service. Great company!”

“Fantastic service! This is the second time I've used Paul Bunyan. Very fair prices and extremely professional. They removed a large tree and ground the stump and the only evidence is an 18 inch circle that they filled in. Highly recommend! Update: I used Paul Bunyan to remove a lot of large limbs from my mom’s yard after a big storm. They did a great job as always. Thanks!”

“We had an emergency this morning after a storm last night brought a huge limb down, also on part of the roof. We called at 7:30am and they were out by 9 to take care of it. We were quoted a fair price and couldn’t be happier with the result.”

“We have been using Paul Bunyan tree service for more than seven years. The team is professional and have taken great care of my trees. Also giving me advice how to better care for our trees. I would recommend them to anyone that needs a simple to very complicated job done!”

“Thanks to Steve, Mark, and Kevin for a great job in stump grinding a dead tree so we can install an outdoor kitchen. Very professional and very reasonable. Will definitely use them when it is time to trim my trees in the front yard.”

“What can I say, Steve and his crew did an excellent job in tearing down and removing a dead maple tree in my backyard on 5/15/25. From the unbelievably fair quote and strategic planning of removing my fence panels, to the execution of the way the tree would come down and removed. This was not the first time Steve has removed a tree at my home. In 2020, he and his crew removed a massive cottonwood tree in my front yard with the same strategic planning and professional care. I'm just in awwww in how well skilled he and his crew are; EXCELLENT! Lastly, they even pruned my tree in my front yard BEAUTIFULLY and made sure my fence panels were placed back and cleaned up all debris from the removal. Steve is the owner and operator of PAUL BUNYAN he has great customer service, ALL AROUND knowledge of trees and what is needed. THANK YOU Steve and Crew again for your outstanding work and service at my home! I am truly a satisfied loyal customer! If you're ever in need of tree removal or pruning, DO NOT hesitate to give PAUL BUNYAN TREE SERVICE a call! Tell them Lisa sent yah! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ 💯👍🏽👊🏾”

“Top notch service. The crew removed 5 dead and dying trees and their stumps and trimmed others. They were not only efficient, we could tell they cared about trees and their work. Plus, they cleaned up the area. Will definitely call on Paul Bunyan Tree service again.”

“Paul Bunyan Tree Service did an awesome job trimming our trees! They were quick, professional, and left everything clean and tidy. We're really happy with how it all turned out and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing tree work!”

“Tuesday February 12 2019. After five years of dealing with giant red wasps making hives, millions of accorns dropping every where, leaves and other debris, I finally had my Live Oak tree removed from my front yard! Good ridden !!! (LOL) I never liked this tree, I always thought it was ugly. Steve and his crew did a fantastic job returning my front yard back to normal. Now I can grow a nice green lawn.”

“Absolutely love these guys! Been using them since we moved here many yrs ago to up keep our big tree and Myrtles. They leave the area in great shape and the trees are always happier! Will definitely continue to use them in the future. Everyone was very cheerful and kind this morning and all my seedlings and flowers that live under the tree were in the same condition as before the work, that made me VERY happy! Thanks so much! Jamie”

“Paul and his crew did a great job at my house! They took out a dying tree and an unwanted bush, trimmed other trees, and fertilized my yard to boot. I have used them several times before and they are always friendly, professional, hard-working, and get the job done. I recommend them!”

“Tree, BIG TREE, fell on our house about 4 am . I called Paul Bunyan at 6:30 and they actually answered the phone. Steve arrived shortly after 7:30 and the game was on. This was not your typical tree removal since it involved a crane and lots of equipment. They did a great job and i highly recommend their services.”
