19 years. 10,000+ customers. These are the real words from the real people whose yards we've worked in — from North Royalton to the greater Cleveland area.
"Called on a Saturday night after a storm took a branch down on our roof. They were there by 8 AM Sunday. Professional, fast, and left our yard cleaner than before the storm. I've used a lot of contractors over the years — Schade's is the one I'll always call first."
"They took down a massive oak right next to our garage — a job I was terrified about. I had two other companies say they couldn't do it safely. Schade's brought their crane and had it done in a few hours. You'd never know there was a tree there. I've already recommended them to three neighbors."
From tree removal to stump grinding to emergency calls — here's what [XX]+ Cleveland-area homeowners say about working with Schade's.
"Best tree service in the Cleveland area, period. Fair price, showed up exactly when they said, and Jon's crew worked hard all day. My yard looked immaculate when they were done. This is who you call."
"Had three stumps from trees removed years ago. Schade's ground them down perfectly — you'd never know they were there. Quick, clean, affordable. Already scheduled them for the tree in the backyard."
"They trimmed four large maples in my front yard. Very professional, careful with my garden beds underneath, and cleaned everything up before they left. Neighbors have already asked me who did the work."
"I was nervous hiring anyone for a large tree removal near my fence line. Jon came out personally, walked me through exactly what they'd do, and the crew executed perfectly. Zero damage. Full cleanup. Paid on completion just like they promised."
"Tree came down on my car during the storm. Called Schade's and they answered immediately at 11 PM. Had a crew out the next morning. Fast, professional, honest pricing. Wouldn't use anyone else."
"Three other companies wouldn't touch the tree over our pool. Schade's brought in the crane, had it out in half a day, and didn't damage a single thing around the pool. Worth every penny."
"Used Schade's for the second time this year. Same crew, same quality. They know what they're doing and they treat your property with respect. Family business feel — they actually care about the work."
"Called on a Thursday, they were there Friday morning. Trimmed the overgrown oak in my backyard that was hanging over the neighbor's fence. Very reasonable price and the cleanup was immaculate."
"Honest, reliable, and they do what they say they'll do. Got quotes from 4 companies — Schade's wasn't the cheapest, but they explained exactly why and what they'd do differently. Glad I went with them. Couldn't be happier."

I found Schade's online and called, honestly not expecting anyone to answer. Jon picked up immediately. They were there first thing in the morning. I was amazed. Kept us updated the whole time. Real professionals."
