Caldwell's Tree Service

"If You're Not Happy, We're Not Happy"

About Us

Caldwell’s Tree Service and Lawn began with a simple promise back in 1995: to provide honest, reliable tree care rooted in family tradition and hard work. Founded and operated by Marlin Caldwell, the business has grown from a small local service into one of Watervliet’s most trusted names in tree care. Marlin followed in his family’s footsteps, continuing the legacy of offering dependable, high-quality tree services to both residential and commercial customers throughout the surrounding communities.

With more than 25 years of hands-on experience, Marlin has built the company on two core values—superior customer service and attention to detail. He believes every job deserves the same level of care as if it were being done on his own property. “I’m not satisfied until my customer is satisfied” isn’t just a slogan; it’s the standard that guides every project, from routine trimming and stump grinding to complex tree removals and emergency storm cleanup.

Today, Caldwell’s Tree Service and Lawn remains committed to the same principles that shaped its beginning—family tradition, dedication to quality, and genuine pride in serving the community. Whether you need expert tree care, brush clearing, or year-round property support, Marlin and his team are here to help, delivering dependable service you can feel confident in.

Testimonials

On 10/30/2025 rande fuller had this to say:
Our neighbors had Caldwell's tree service take down several trees. They did such a great job, we had them take down our trees. Caldwell's showed up when they said they would. They took down the trees, ground the stumps, and cleaned up the mess. They even went above and beyond and cleaned up pine needles that had already come down. They made the yard look better than before they came. I would definitely recommend Caldwell's for your tree or lawn needs!!

On 10/27/2025 Catherine Hughes had this to say:
Caldwell’s gave us a competitive quote, then came when they said they would. They were thorough and cleaned up each night before they left. Out neighbors came over and also decided to use them for tree removal. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.
