Stillwater Tree Service is Scott Kendall and Coleen Poteet, working out of Iddings Road in West Milton since 1997. Tree trimming and removal, bush trimming, brush clearing and stump work, with a bucket truck for what will not come down by hand. There has never been a website. This page is what one would look like. Call and describe the tree.
Everything on this list comes from Stillwater's own business bureau listing, their contractor profile categories, or a customer describing the job in a review. Nothing is invented. Their bureau file says tree trimming and removal and bush trimming. Their contractor categories add tree service, tree stump removal and tree trimming. Customers name the bucket truck, the stump work, deadwooding and brush clearing. If what you need is not on this list, ring (937) 698-1262 and ask.
Named on their own business bureau listing as tree removal, and it is the job customers describe most often. A dead ash, a leaning maple, a silver maple hanging over a roof. Call (937) 698-1262 and say roughly how tall it is, what is underneath it, and how close it stands to the house or the wires. Those three answers decide the whole job.
Listed as tree trimming on their profile, and one customer wrote that they did an excellent job trimming and deadwooding three large maple trees. Deadwood is the branch that comes out of a healthy tree in the first real wind. Getting it out on a calm day costs a fraction of what it costs after it lands on something.
Tree stump removal is a listed category and a customer names stump grinding by hand on a 2016 job. Worth being straight about, that same review says the grind only took out about half the stump, so ask on the phone how deep they take it and what they leave behind. That is a fair question and it deserves a plain answer.
Their bureau listing says trim bushes in as many words, and a 2014 customer wrote that they removed two trees and cleared brush. This is the overgrown fence line, the honeysuckle taking the back of the lot, the ragged hedge nobody has touched in five years. Small work is worth calling about.
A customer in 2016 wrote that they took most of the tree down with a bucket truck. That matters, because a bucket lets a crew work a tree over a driveway or a roof in pieces instead of dropping it whole. If your tree is tight to a building, say so on the phone, it changes the approach.
Reviews from three different years all mention the same thing, the cleanup. In their words, their clean up is excellent, the yard was totally cleaned before they left, and great job removing trees and job site clean up. That is the part most people remember. Call (937) 698-1262 and describe what came down.
Here is the honest situation. Stillwater has been going since June 1997 and there is no website, no photo gallery and nothing a homeowner in Troy can look at before they call. Their reviews are real and good, a 4.4 out of 5 across eight of them, and every one of those reviews lives on a page somebody else owns. The photos below show the kind of work this crew does, on a page that finally exists.
This is the only way to reach the business today. There is no email published on any listing anywhere and there is no contact form, so the phone is it. The second number, (937) 604-5443, is on their bureau file as well.
Rough height, and what stands underneath it. A house, a fence, a shed, a power line, or open yard. Those two answers move the price further than anything else, because a tree with room to fall is a completely different job from one that has to come down in pieces.
Trees get priced on site. Lean, rot, deadwood, truck access and where the debris can go all matter and none of it can be judged over the phone. Worth knowing: one directory says they do not offer free estimates, so ask straight out whether the look costs anything, and get a plain answer before anybody drives out.
Tree work is weather work and dates move with wind and rain. Ask what the lead time looks like and ask what happens to the brush, the logs and the stump, because that is the difference between a clean yard and a pile you are still dealing with in November.
Stillwater Tree Service is Scott Kendall and Coleen Poteet, working from 4530 S Iddings Rd in West Milton. The business bureau has them starting on 1 June 1997, so twenty nine years. The reviews are genuinely good. A 4.4 out of 5 across eight of them, with three quarters at five stars, and one of the strongest is from a man who used to work for them, who wrote these guys are the real deal, every job was done the most professional way shape and form. That is not nothing. Now the part worth saying out loud, because none of it is about the trees. On their directory listing there is a button labelled Visit Website. It does not go to a website. It goes to a second copy of their own directory listing, at a different address, with zero reviews on it. So half the people who go looking for Stillwater land on an empty page. There are two listings for one business, unclaimed. One aggregator has merged Scott Kendall and Coleen Poteet into a single fictional principal it calls Scott Potese and published that as the owner. Another advertises them as offering sprinkler installation and lawn dethatching, which they do not do. Their own bureau file spells trimming as triming. Every profile across nine platforms says claim this business, and nobody ever has. The newest review anywhere is from August 2020. Six years of work since then, none of it written down. This page is what having somewhere to send people looks like.
Being straight with you, Stillwater does not publish hours anywhere the business controls. Two directory listings show all seven days blank with an Add Hours prompt sitting on them. One aggregator page nobody at the company has ever claimed prints Monday to Saturday 8am to 6pm, and even that page adds its own line saying hours may vary, please call to confirm. Rather than copy a stranger's guess onto a page customers will believe, this says call. Ring (937) 698-1262 and you will get the real answer. Filling these seven rows in is the single cheapest improvement available here.
The business runs from Iddings Road south of West Milton in Miami County. Trees get priced where they stand rather than at an office, so the useful next step is a call and a look. Reviews and listings put the working area around West Milton, Troy, Tipp City, Vandalia, Englewood, Clayton, Pleasant Hill, Laura and Ludlow Falls, and one customer describes them as the best tree service in Miami County. Ask how far they travel.
Removal, trimming, a stump, or brush that has taken over a fence line. Say roughly how tall it is and what is standing underneath, and you will get a real answer instead of a runaround. Calling (937) 698-1262 is still the fastest route and this form works too.
There is no honest price list for tree work, because the number depends on the height, the lean, what is underneath, whether a truck can get near it and where the brush and the logs end up. Give the height and what is close by and you will get a real figure rather than a range.
$49 one time setup, then $79/month, no contract. Hosting, lead capture, traffic tracking, and your own dashboard are all included.
