THE REDBIRD STORY
A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER, MICHAEL CALVILLO
“Redbird” represents a cardinal. It is meant to honor my late father and symbolize a desire to stand out from generic tree services. Founded two years after my father’s passing in 2017, my grandmother would always say that a Redbird means good luck and that someone who has passed on is visiting you. I try my best to hold this company to my father’s standard. Redbird Services represents a commitment to excellence and respect for nature that spans generations.

FIVE STAR SERVICES
But don’t just take our word for it - check out what our clients have to say!
"We recently had a large tree trimming, thinning, and one large tree removal project at our home. I interviewed three tree service companies for the project, and ultimately chose Mike C. and Redbird Tree Services. Mike was by far the most knowledgeable, professional, consultative, and respectful. The RedBird crew, who spent three days at our home working on this project, were organized, uniformed, they treated our property with respect, and tidied-up at the end of each day. Neighbors of ours even commented on how impressive and professional the Redbird crew was, compared to another tree service company doing work in our neighborhood. Redbird wasn’t the cheapest of the three tree service companies I interviewed. But they weren’t the most expensive either, and frankly I wasn’t looking for “cheap” quality work. Mike created confidence by communicating significant knowledge and high standards, and he and his crew delivered. We would absolutely use Redbird Tree Services again, and I highly recommend them to others with tree project needs." - Dave
"Absolutely wonderful crew and owner. I had 13 trees needing to be trimmed. An average tree age of 25 years. Mike came in $1000 below the other estimate. The trees look great. The crew was professional." - Kathy
"Amazing experience! Fair pricing, quick scheduling and efficient work. Very professional admin team and onsite team. Quoted us prior to a storm and honored pricing even with the influx of post storm activity. Highly recommend and will use again!" - Elizabeth
"Michael and his team were professional, punctual, and communicated clearly from start to finish. The crew worked efficiently, cleaned up thoroughly, and the tree removal, trimming, and stump grinding were done safely and exactly as promised. Excellent quality work at a fair price—I would absolutely recommend them." - Kaitlin
"Mikey with Redbird Tree Services has not only done incredible work for us on a regular basis, ensuring our trees are safe and beautiful for our community, but his crew also has a huge heart for the community. They donate on a monthly basis, get involved with various volunteer activities and even hosted a tree planting event for our community to teach about how to plant trees while also helping us plant 24 trees to add to the visual security of our playground areas. I could not recommend Redbird Services more. They are knowledgeable, go above and beyond to do the job correctly and take care of their customers and care about giving back." - Jessica
"Redbird is the best tree service i have ever found...i have lived in my current house since 1980 and have tried other services. however since i started using Mike with Redbird i will never go elsewhere! i have used this service many times with great results!" - Chuck
"I just had a wonderful experience with Redbird Services. Michael came out and patiently went over all the trees with me and described the trimming he recommended. His crew was able to come out within a week, as I needed the work done quickly. The crew did an amazing job and my trees look great! Their clean up was exceptional and they even completely cleaned off the roof. And the price was very fair! I will be using Redbird for all my tree care." - Teri
