Our Story
Meet Max Echols, Owner
Max Echols founded TreeMax in 2017 with a simple idea: build a tree service company that actually does what it says it will do. What started as a small operation has grown into a tight-knit team of trained specialists — but the values have never changed.
Max completed ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) training to make sure every cut, every trim, and every removal is done the right way — not just the fast way. He believes that understanding tree biology, proper pruning techniques, and structural risk assessment is what separates a real arborist from someone just swinging a saw.
TreeMax is a personal operation. Max carefully vets every hire and every hire is a trained specialist. When you book with TreeMax you're working with a small, dedicated team that takes real pride in the work — not a revolving door of unknown laborers.
Since 2017 and 391 five-star Google reviews later, the mission hasn't changed: show up on time, do the job right, leave the site spotless, and charge a fair price.

What We Stand For
Our Core Values
These aren't just words on a wall. They're the principles that guide every quote, every job, and every customer conversation.
Results
Every job is measured by one standard: did we deliver what we promised? We show up, do the work right, and leave your property better than we found it.
Trust
You're trusting us to work on your property. We take that seriously. Every hire is a trained specialist, every quote is transparent, and every job is backed by our word.
Transparency
No hidden fees, no bait-and-switch estimates. You'll always know exactly what you're paying before we start. If scope changes, we tell you first.
Safety
Every job begins with a site assessment. Our crew follows ISA best practices so your property — and our people — stay protected from start to finish.
Commitment
We're committed to our customers, our crew, and our environment. We recycle wood chips, preserve healthy trees whenever possible, and stand behind every job we do.
Our Team
A Crew You Can Count On
Every member of the TreeMax crew is a trained specialist, hand-selected by Max. We're a small, tight team — and that's intentional. Smaller means more accountability, more consistency, and more care on every job.
Each team member is covered under our workers' compensation policy, so you're never exposed to liability on your property.
From climbers to ground crew, everyone on a TreeMax job site knows what they're doing, why safety matters, and how to leave a property looking great when the work is done.

ISA Standards
Our techniques follow International Society of Arboriculture guidelines.
Thorough Cleanup
We haul everything away and leave your property looking better than we found it.
