How to find new tree service companies to pitch, using review counts
The practical way to find new tree service companies to pitch is to filter tree service companies for few reviews, because a crew that started recently has not had time to collect many, then confirm each one is real and insured before you reach out. As of 15 Nov 2026, 19,116 of the 43,139 sellable tree service companies in the 67Leads warehouse (44%) have 9 reviews or fewer, and 15,302 of the tree service companies we hold list no website.

Live from the 67Leads warehouse, computed (US Central) when this page was served. Sellable means graded as the trade, with a phone, opted-out businesses removed. Methodology.
Shortcut: the few reviews pages apply the filter by trade and place, the tree service company lead list shows counts by state and city, and the no-website finder counts tree companies with no site.
Why review count stands in for "new"
We do not know when a tree company opened, and no public listing says so reliably, so this guide does not claim to find companies by age. A company with few reviews could be a new crew, but it could also be a long-running operation that lives on referrals, a part-time crew, or a firm that keeps its customers on a Facebook page. Treat "few reviews" as a signal, not a fact.
It is a useful group anyway. Tree work is a high-trust purchase: strangers with chainsaws, a crane or a bucket truck come to a customer's yard, and people look for proof before they book. A young crew has little of that proof on its listing.
Step 1: Build the group
Start from the tree service companies with 9 reviews or fewer. These are the live counts today:
| Group | Tree service companies |
|---|---|
| Sellable tree service companies with a phone | 43,139 |
| 9 reviews or fewer | 19,116 |
| Perfect 5.0 on 9 reviews or fewer | 10,577 |
| No website on the listing | 15,302 |
| Owner named on their own site | 2,416 |
Counts are listings that match today and move as the data refreshes.
Step 2: Check it is a real tree company and it is open
Searches for tree service return a mix: removal crews, trimming and pruning companies, stump grinders, arborists, firewood sellers and land clearers. Open each listing and decide which you have:
- Removal and storm work. Crews that take down trees, often with a crane or bucket truck. Urgent jobs and high-value quotes.
- Trimming and plant health care. Arborists who prune and treat trees. Recurring clients.
- Stump grinding and clearing. Specialist work, often a second service of a larger crew.
Check recent photos, a current phone number and a social page. A busy social page shows the company is real. A listing with no photos, no hours and no activity is better left alone.
Step 3: Pick a geography
Tree companies sell by service area, so work one state at a time. These are the states with the most sellable tree service companies today:
| State | Sellable | Verified email | No website | Owner named |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| California | 4,171 | 12% | 35% | 4% |
| Texas | 3,429 | 13% | 37% | 5% |
| Florida | 3,376 | 13% | 36% | 5% |
| Georgia | 1,737 | 12% | 35% | 5% |
| North Carolina | 1,731 | 15% | 38% | 6% |
| Ohio | 1,625 | 13% | 42% | 3% |
| Michigan | 1,440 | 15% | 36% | 6% |
| New York | 1,427 | 13% | 34% | 4% |
| Illinois | 1,389 | 12% | 38% | 4% |
| Pennsylvania | 1,276 | 17% | 30% | 7% |

Take one state and put the companies with the fewest reviews at the top. Tree work follows the weather, and a crew has the most time to talk after the busy weeks pass.
Step 4: Choose what you are pitching
Match the offer to the gap on the listing:
- A website. For crews with no site. A short site with the services, the towns served, photos of finished work and a quote form that accepts photos of the tree is a clear offer. See how to find tree service companies without a website.
- A review habit. For crews doing good work with few reviews. Ask after each finished job. See how to pitch Google review services.
- A complete local listing. Services, service area and photos help a new crew show up in nearby searches. A tree company whose site has gone down is a different pitch: see tree service companies with dead websites.
Step 5: Check licensing and insurance
Many states and cities require a licence or registration for tree work, and customers often ask whether a crew is insured. Check the state licence before you write about a company, and never claim a licence or insurance you cannot see. Leave claims about safety and certification to the owner, and do not write any the company has not approved and cannot show.
Step 6: Call in blocks
Tree crews are on site early and weather days free them up. Call before the trucks leave, in the late afternoon or on wet days, and expect voicemail. Mention one thing you noticed on the listing or social page and ask permission for a minute. Block 90 minutes, call 30 names with the same opener, and try the missed ones on another day. The cold call script generator writes the opener, objection replies and a voicemail, and the cold call calculator works out how many dials you need. Our tree service cold call list guide has the full method.
Read the National Do Not Call Registry rules at donotcall.gov before you start, and keep a list of anyone who asks you to stop. Texting a business needs consent under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, so do not text first. This is general information, not legal advice.
What this approach cannot tell you
It cannot tell you which crews will buy, how long a company has existed, or whether a business has a site under another name. Everything after the filter depends on your message and your price.

Questions
Can I find tree companies by how long they have been in business?
Not reliably from public listings. Review count is a proxy: a company with few reviews is often young, but not always, so check each one before you call.
How many tree service companies have few reviews?
As of 15 Nov 2026, 19,116 of the 43,139 sellable tree service companies in our warehouse have 9 reviews or fewer. That counts the listings we hold, not every tree company in the country.
What should I sell a new tree service company?
Start with what a young crew lacks: proof. A site with photos of finished work, a simple way to ask customers for reviews and a complete local listing each address that, and each can be explained in a sentence.
Is a perfect 5.0 rating a good sign?
It is a good opener, but a perfect score on a handful of reviews says little about how it will look after a busy year. Say something specific instead of just praising the rating.
