He was very punctual and got out here quickly. He was very prompt and very thorough and gave us a very complete report. I was very pleased with him. We thought that a couple of the trees needed to be taken down and he told us that we didn't have to take down any. The guy clearly knew what he was talking about. He was very pleasant to deal with. He was very friendly and very nice to work with. He got us a write-up of his appraisal very quickly and it was extremely thorough and comprehensive. I highly recommend him. He was very good and I was very happy with him.

I received the consultation as a gift. Chris was very knowledgeable and took time to examine all the trees and shrubs on my property. His report gave me some specific action items I could follow up on with an arborist of my own choosing.
Description of Work: Chris Mest of Chicagoland Tree Care Advisors performed an evaluation and consultation during which he examined all the trees on my lot, identified issues, and suggested treatments/actions. I appreciated that Chris's evaluation is impartial - he was not selling tree services so his report was honest and unbiased.

Excellent. Chris was so knowledgeable, and his passion for his work was evident from the first moment. I had read and studied a lot about trees without feeling I knew what best to do for mine. Chris gave me clear, actionable advice. I learned a lot that I didn't know, especially about certain trees in my yard that a previous owner had planted. Best of all, Chris is an independent arborist. That means I could trust his advice without feeling like he was only trying to sell me something. He did give me contact information for a tree care company with which he is also affiliated - a recommendation I appreciated very much. Chris's consultation earned my trust, and I expect to follow up with the company he mentioned to get an estimate for the pruning Chris recommended. If you have trees on your property a consultation Chris would be a great investment. Chris started by asking what specific concerns I had. After we examined the two trees I was worried about he proceeded to examine the rest of the trees and shrubs in order around the yard, taking the time to point out signs of health or problems. Thanks to the written report he sent after the consultation I now have a checklist of remedies specific to my own yard, not generic "potential" issue from a garden book or Web site. Thanks to Chris I can move forward with confidence.
Description of Work: Chris examined all of the trees and major shrubs in my landscape. He assessed their current condition and recommended actions to take to improve their health. Following our meeting he provided a written report that I can refer to as I follow up on his recommendations.
