I have been very happy with them. They are very responsive when they call. They have feedback cards and want to know how the job went. They clean up nicely and I think they are priced reasonably. I have been using them for 20 years.

They did a excellent job and were very conscientious as I live on a busy street. They cleaned it up and left the place remarkably cleaner when they got here. Their pricing was reasonable.
Description of Work: I have a big Locust tree that they trimmed, making it lighter for wind resistance.

A proffesional Arborist came out to look at the tree and answer my questions. He gave me some recomendations on my young tree. We signed on for a 2 stage program where next they'll do a pruning to enhance it's growth. What I like about them is that they don't bill you until the work is done. They were very profesional. I just wish they would have given me a heads up as to when they were coming out to do the work as they were finishing up the work as I was waking up in the morning, and I like to watch the work being done.
Description of Work: They did a tea mix of nutrients to enhance the growth of the tree, to fertilize it but in a newer way.

So far the tree looks healthy. Service was timely and hopefully will improve its growth.
Description of Work: In July our Ash tree was trimmed and reviewed for problems. The appointment was timely and several trees in our cul de sac were looked at for trimming. Our tree did have a problem with Ash insects and needed treatment . This was done on the scheduled day and we were notified with a reminder prior to the service.

Allan, was the one who came out to give us an estimate, he was very friendly and prompt. He let us know that we didn't need to worry about some other trees that we had questions about. They got the permits they needed to get for the trimming, showed up on time and cleaned up the debris well when they were finished - all to my specifications.

The Thugs from the Care of Trees told me I was "disrespecting" them because I asked them to move their truck from in front of my driveway. They were performing services for my neighbor, and instead of pulling into my neighbors' OPEN driveway, or even just pulling into the opening in front of my building, they chose to block my driveway. And for good measure, when I returned a few hours later, I saw that they had blown all the debris from my neighbors yard onto the path for my building entrance. If you want the latin kings to swear at you and your neighbors, please, contact the Care of Trees.
Description of Work: The company was hired by my Neighbor to cut some trees in their yard. The Care of Trees ended up causing a big mess and a lot of trouble.

Response from The Davey Tree Expert Company
One of the challenges that our crews face while working within some of the confined areas of Chicago is finding spaces to fit our trucks to work safely and conveniently. In order to accommodate our clients and the surrounding neighborhood, The Care of Trees follows the city’s street ordinances by posting no parking signs at the location when applicable and by requesting that neighbors move their vehicles when necessary. We try very hard to make every experience with us a positive one.

When I spoke to them, they seemed to be honest and very open about what they were going to do. Its hard to comment about their price, but it was a big job and it was hard work. But in my opinion, it was a little high. I would use this company again, if I couldn't find anyone else who could do it cheaper
Description of Work: I hired this company to cut back a large silver maple tree from my front lawn. The tree was about 60 years old and the men stayed about 3 hours to prune back the tree.

I called to schedule an appointment, and Charlie showed up right on time for our meeting. I showed him the main problem-a large limb from a was growing over smaller ornamental trees and blocking them from the sun, and starting to hit the roof on windy days. Charlie pointed out the 2nd tree with a smaller branch he thought would cause similar problems within a year or 2. He lined out the quote to address both issues separately, giving a discounted rate for the 2nd tree since he'd already be on site. I decided to get both trees pruned and called to set an appointment several weeks later. They were able to set up a time within a week even though they needed to line up a bucket truck. I was not on site for the appointment but returned home to two great-looking trees and a clean site with no debris. The trees were trimmed subtly but significantly, keeping the general overall appearance and shape, just looking like they had a great haircut. The job went smoothly from start to finish.
Description of Work: Remove a 9" diameter limb from a tree; remove a 4" diameter limb from a 2nd tree.

They are the best company in the region. We have used them on several other occasions and have always been happy with the job they do. They may not be the cheapest, but they absolutely know trees. They do a very good job of cleaning up all the debris.

Had a first meeting with Allen who bid the job. He was just great. Told him we were selling the house and we just wanted to trim any branches that might fall on house or sidewalk, not every little branch possible as we would not be living there. He got the point, gave us a good bid. Work was done the next week. They waited until they had a bucket truck available as they were worried that one branch might fall on the house if trimmed without the bucket truck.
Description of Work: Trimmed several huge oak trees, one with a dead branch hanging over our house.

The quality of the work for the 3 trees seemed good. I am disappointed that one of the trees is going back and that they did not grind that stump. The estimated also said that they would trim one of the trees, but when the workers got there they refused to do it. Otherwise the quality seemed good and I would likely use them again.
Description of Work: Cut down 3 10-15 foot trees and ground 1 stump. Cut down 1 larger tree/bush that has since grown back from the stump. Also cut down some large limbs from a large elm.

Service was excellent! Our arborist, Allen Matthews, came out to review the work and provide an estimate. His suggestions on how to best trim the Hawthorn were excellent. He made sure to remind us that the overall appearance of the tree would change but that significant pruning was needed to safeguard the tree's health. His estimate was spot on and an appointment was scheduled that same day. They were actually able to come out to our house sooner than anticipated as a nearby job finished early. We were out of town when the work was done, but returned home to find it completed and all debris removed. You wouldn't have known anyone had been in our yard, it was that clean.
Description of Work: We hired The Care of Trees to trim an old Hawthorn tree in our back yard. Last year we did some pruning ourselves, but it needed to be done correctly to preserve the tree's health, remove dead limbs and provide clearance from our neighbors house and utility lines. The tree had several main limbs which had spread considerably. New cables were installed between the limbs to better support the overall tree. Initially we had a dead Japanese Maple removed down to a stump near grade level.
