At Superior Tree Service Inc., we know a beautiful tree can make your landscape look amazing. However, trees don’t always add to your yard. A dying or dead tree can crack and fall on your roof or car. And if you’re in the process of building a home or an addition, a tree could be right in your way. Our specialists love beautiful trees, but we love the people and homes in Highland Park, Illinois more. When you need a tree trimmed or removed call us!
Superior tree service responded promptly to our request for an estimate, gave a good price and performed the tree removal. The tree was removed and clean up was good. The crew was friendly and efficient.
Description of Work: Removed large pine tree very close to house. Ground stump of pine tree and another tree stump in back yard.

I had a tree fall on my house. Superior was one of the places I called for estimates. The Village Forester who came out to see the tree spoke well of this company. We used another vendor, but Jeff at Superior responded promptly and professionally.

Jeffrey was extremely responsive with providing a quote as well as with any communication that I had with him. He gave one day notice before performing the job, as promised. His team did an excellent job removing the above items, especially since some of them (like the hedge roots) were in tight spots. Other than the absence of the trees and stumps, you wouldn't have noticed that they were even there (i.e. no damage to the yard whatsoever). Out of three bidders, their price was also near the lowest, but I can't imagine the quality being any better. I would highly recommend Superior Tree Service to anyone and would use them again myself.

We did not go further than the proposal, but based on my encounter with this company and Mr. Greenberg, I was very favorably impressed.
Description of Work: I contacted Superior Tree Service for an estimate for tree trimming. Mr. Greenberg responded promptly and scheduled an inspection which he conducted with me. He provided a proposal that was detailed, thorough and competitive and also gave us a copy of his firm's insurance coverage.

Jeff puts a good deal of personal touch on his work. He came for a quote while we aren't needed to be home, then dropped the quote off in our mailbox the next day. He followed up personally after the work was done (quite good work) to ensure we were happy. We had done a great deal of trimming ourselves prior and had large piles of waste, they discarded it all for us as well. Would love if they took credit cards.

I first contacted Mr. Greenberg at Superior Tree Service Inc. in mid-June 2014. He called me back an hour later and asked me all kinds of questions about what I wanted done. When I said I wanted a big tree cut down, he asked me what the policy of our village is and made sure that I looked up forms and information online. He showed up 2 days later to walk the outside of the house and leave me an estimate (just like he had promised to do). We ultimately decided not to cut down the large tree but to trim it way back. The price quoted by Mr. Greenberg was a little higher than another competitor, but they did a wonderful job so we believe the cost was worth the service. Because of his busy schedule and our vacation, we scheduled the work for July 17, 2014. The group of men showed up promptly in the morning and worked for many hours to trim back all the trees. They look beautiful and the yards were clean of all debris when they had finished. One tree was not trimmed (miscommunication between me and Jeff Greenberg) so Mr. Greenberg said the crew would be back the next day to trim the last tree. They showed up the next afternoon and within an hour the last tree was trimmed and all the debris was gone. Except for a couple of minor miscommunications when we played "phone tag", our experience with Superior Tree Service Inc. was "superior". We will certainly hire them again when we need more tree trimming work done.
Description of Work: They trimmed 7 trees on our property - one huge maple tree in the front yard and then 6 other trees in the front, side and back of our house. They also used a chipper on the large branches and hauled away the small branches.

Superior arrived on time and did fine work. They lifted, pruned and rebalanced growth on the trees, several of which were threatening our roof and gutters. I pointed out a couple of small details and they immediately took care of them. Their final charge exactly matched their initial estimate. I am happy to recommend them and would use their service again.

Called for an estimate. Heard nothing back for a week, so called a second time. They apologized for not getting my original message and asked where I was located. Superior said Mt. Prospect was not normally a part of their territory, but because the job sounded big enough they would come out the following week to give me a quote. No quote that week. Called a third time and they asked what a competitors estimated cost was. Said they could not beat the quote for $850. I realize that this is a very busy year for tree guys, but rather than wasting my time (and several weeks) I wish they had just said they were not interested because of my location. I made a special effort to contact them after seeing their ad in the Angie's List magazine.

Used Superior Tree on 2x in the last 3 years. This past time we had 2 small trees and 1 medium sized tree taken down. No issues with with that part. The stump grinding did not meet expectations and we were left with a cubic yard of debris that we had to clean up. Also had some issues with the grinder sinking into the water saturated ground on my neighbors side of the property line.

Response from Superior Tree Service Inc
First I would like to apologize to (member name removed) for the poor experience she had. However all of it could have been avoided if she had communicated with us. We never received a call,email ,or text concerning any of her issues.This was the third time we worked for her.Stump grinding is just grinding. It does not include removing the material ground. To do so would incur additional charges. Most customers want the free wood chips. It is good organic material .All tree service companies operate this way and we tell all of our customers ahead of time that this will happen. Evidently we did not tell Stephfanie ,perhaps because we had done stump grinding for her before. We never received any complaint the first time about leaving the chips and never heard anything during the process of setting up this latest job.Stump grinding is difficult because if you go too deep you can cut utility wires or sprinkling lines and roots of nearby vegetation that will permanently damage them. If we missed roots that should have been ground we would have happily returned to grind them.With regard to the neighbors property, that was a mistake. As we all know this was a very wet spring and the grass never dried out. We did pick the wrong day to grind ,but the tracks are temporary. The grass will heal shortly when it starts to grow. No permanent damage was done. If it was we will repair or replace it.For these reasons we believe the poor review is unjustified in part.Respectfully submitted ,Superior Tree Service, Inc.

I needed several large trees trimmed on my property. I got two estimates (one from my tree care service and one from Superior after finding them on Angie's List). Jeffrey's estimate was $800 lower. Normally I would be suspicious of such a low estimate but his rave reviews allowed me to take a chance. I couldn't have been more pleased! The entire process--from estimate to finished job--went smoothly and quickly. I requested to be home during the work so Jeffrey accommodated my schedule. His crew was top-notch--efficient, professional and great clean up, including my neighbor's yard where some of the trimming had to be done. I will definitely hire them again for any tree trimming and recommend to others.

We used Jeffrey once a couple of years at my father-in-law's recommendation, and then I hired Superior Tree Service again this month through Angie?s List without realizing that it was the same guy. Both times he came out in person when we weren't home and left a bid at the house, but both times when they arrived to actually do the work he said it was going to cost more than what he had bid. I?ve never had anybody renege on a bid before, much less twice. (Although I see that they did it to at least one other reviewer.) On one occasion it was only $175 more than the bid and they already had their equipment here and we had been waiting for a couple of weeks (and my in-laws were insistent that we go ahead), so we finally consented to pay more than the bid just to get it done. When I was calling for the bid, I had asked how low they would cut the tree. He said between four and five inches from the ground. They left the stump at 19 inches. (I photographed it with a tape measure). I asked to them trim it lower as they had promised and they said that was as low as they could go. I called a stump grinder for a quote and when he came out he was surprised at how tall the stump was and said that he would have to charge extra because he was going to have to bring a chainsaw and recut the stump first before he could grind it. On the other occasion, we had a very large, high-up tree branch extending over the house we had just moved into and we were concerned about it possibly falling in a storm some day. He stopped out and left a quote in advance. But when they came out to cut it, he said it would cost $1500 more than what he had bid because he needed different equipment. They left without doing the work, but one of the crew climbed the tree, walked back and forth on the branch, stomped up and down testing it (I filmed it with my phone). Two days later, the branch fell on the house with very little wind and no other branches down in the neighborhood. It caused $8,500 worth of damage to our roof and just missed crushing my son?s bed.

Response from Superior Tree Service Inc
It's not fun to be criticized especially when you are trying hard to do the right thing. We never take a deposit and never charge more than the contract without prior permission from the customer. In this case the person making the accusations is not the person we dealt with when we arrived to complete the work.The original contract was to cut a 50 inch diameter tree to the top of a seven foot fence . The price was $225 dollars. Upon arriving at the site we were informed that the fence had been removed and we were to cut the tree to as low as possible. We made an agreement with the gentleman in charge and explained why we had to charge $175 dollars more,because the diameter of the tree, over 4 feet ,was so large, many cuts had to be made with our largest saw with the largest handle. He totally understood and there was no issue about the money. Also there was no issue with regard to the stump. Because the saw handle has depth you cannot flush cut to the ground. No one mentioned stump grinding. The full contract price was $1375 dollars not $5000 dollars as the reviewer states. Also the reviewer knew who he was dealing with which is why his in-law hired us for the third time. It is true on one of the prior jobs the price changed because the equipment changed, but fails to mention we had to come back with a 75 foot crane because the tree was so rotten it was unsafe to climb without a crane. Again the price was agreed to without argument. The customer could have cancelled each contract without penalty. He was given that option but chose to proceed with us. There was no emergency and he could have hired another company if our prices were out of line. Obviously they were not. The reviewers other statements are not relevant to this job and we are hearing these statements for the first time.We feel the review is unfair and unwarranted. Respectfully submitted by Superior Tree Service,Inc.
