What we do

Services

Trimming to total removal — and every job ends with the debris on our trailer, not your lawn.

Tree Trimming

Healthier trees, safer roofs, better curb appeal. We shape, thin, and lift — and get limbs off your house, driveway, and power-line worries.

Overgrowth Restoration

That corner of the yard you've stopped looking at? We cut back the tangle of brush, vines, and saplings and hand you back usable ground.

Shrub & Tree Removal

Dead, dying, or just in the way — removed roots-and-all, hauled off the same day. Big removals come down in controlled sections, not one dramatic crash.

Fence-Line Clearing

Your fence is in there somewhere. We clear the brush, vines, and volunteer saplings crowding it — so it lasts longer and your property line looks like one.

Storm & Debris Cleanup

When Arkansas weather wins a round, we clean up after it — downed limbs and storm mess gone fast, so your yard is safe to walk again.

Haul-Off & Full Cleanup

Cleaner than we found it — that's the standard, not the upsell. Every job ends with the debris on our trailer and your yard raked out.

Don't see exactly what you need? Just ask — if it involves trees, brush, or overgrowth, we can probably help.

Who does the work

Meet Skylar. He picks up.

Skylar Drinka has nine years of professional tree work across four states — which is a polite way of saying he's already met whatever your tree is doing. He runs every job The Little Tree Company takes, alongside co-owner Matthew Swift: no call center, no middleman, no mystery crew. Call or text him a photo of the tree at (715) 937-7873 and he'll tell you what it needs — even when the answer is that it should stay right where it is.

Why The Little Tree Company

The four big fears of tree work — handled.

Hiring a tree crew means trusting strangers with a chainsaw next to your house. Here's how we earn that trust before the first branch comes down.

  • Properly insured, not "trust me" insured. General liability and workers' comp on every job — the risk sits on our policies, not your homeowner's.
  • A number before a saw. Estimates are free, and the person quoting your job is the person responsible for it — you know exactly what you're saying yes to.
  • Cleaner than we found it. Complete haul-off ends every job — limbs, brush, and debris leave when we do, not in a pile by your fence.
  • Owners you can name. Skylar Drinka and Matthew Swift run this locally owned Arkansas LLC, and Skylar's cell is right on this page. Fly-by-night crews don't do that.

That tree isn't getting any littler on its own.

Straight answers

Questions everybody asks

How much does tree work cost?

Every tree is different — size, lean, and what it's hanging over all change the answer — so we don't guess from a desk. Skylar comes out, looks at it, and hands you a free estimate with zero obligation. You'll know your number before a single branch moves.

Are you actually insured?

Yes: general liability and workers' comp — so if anything went sideways it lands on our policies instead of your homeowner's. And a free tip for hiring anyone in this trade: ask for proof of insurance. A crew that hesitates at that question just answered it.

Will my yard be a wreck when you're done?

No — haul-off isn't an upsell with us, it's how every job ends. Limbs, brush, and debris leave on our trailer, not in a pile by your curb. Our standard is cleaner than we found it.

How fast can you get out here?

Honestly, it depends on the week — but we reply fast, and we'll tell you straight when we can be there instead of stringing you along. The quickest path is a text to Skylar at (715) 937-7873 with a photo of the tree.

My tree is enormous and leaning over the house. Is that too big for you?

Big trees made little — that's not just the slogan, it's the job description. Big removals near structures come down in controlled sections — roped and lowered, not dropped and hoped. And if a tree genuinely can't come down safely the way you're hoping, we'll tell you that for free too.

Do I need to be home for the estimate or the work?

Not usually. For estimates, walking the yard together helps, but a text with photos and an address gets us most of the way there. For the work itself, we just need access to the tree and a way to reach you — plenty of folks come home to a missing tree and a clean yard.
