EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! Mike came out, checked on everything we wanted done and gave us a quick and more than fair estimate. He explained the process thoroughly and answered all of our questions without hesitation. He was easy to reach and promptly returned phone calls. He and his crew came exactly when they said they would come and they were very professional. I would highly recommend this company and in fact have already done so with confidence. We have had other tree companies out to do work and they nickel and dimmed us until the bill was astronomical. That was NOT the case with The Tree Guy. Wish we had discovered him sooner!
Description of Work: Removed 2 very large box elder trees from the side of our driveway. Removed large elm which was overhanging our garage. Removed another box elder from the back yard. Cut some tall branches on numerous trees which were too close to the house. Also cleared out a large amount of old brush and large branches which we had piled up from our own trimming projects. Ground all stumps to below grade level from the work they did plus 2 more stumps which were already there. Cleaned up the area so that you could not tell they had even been there. Even swept the driveway.

I called Keith about five weeks ago. He came out the same afternoon to do an estimate which was way below what I expected. My neighbors had received estimates for shrub removal only that were several hundred more than Keith gave me for the entire job. After waiting for several weeks I gave him the go ahead on the job. Though he was already booked for a week he promised to get the job done ASAP. He kept me posted on his progress and came out this a.m. After an hour or so Keith called me to look over the job-it was the best trim job I had seen. Everything looked great and all the waste was nicely removed. Several of the larger shrubs will need their roots ground down and I was assured it would be done as soon as they had a few more to do. Because of the extra equipment needed, he waits til ten need to be done and then does them all in a day. I was extremely happy with the job and Keith. He was very professional and friendly and really seemed to want to do the job well.
Description of Work: Removed 8-10 shrubs. Cut down 2, 10 foot Rose of Sharon Trees. Trimmed A Maple, a Plum, an unknown to me, and a Magnolia Tree.

I thought it went very well. The contractor did tell me that he was going to create and drop a quote off on one day, and that didn't happen until the next day. Then, he told me the tree would be removed on another day, and the actual removal happened the day afterward. But none of that really mattered to me; the tree and its stump was removed with no damage to the yard at all.

I wish every company, was as easy to work with as The Tree Guy! The whole process was easy and was finished in under a week, from my first phone call, to the payment. Keith responded to my call straight away and was able to come out for an estimate on a Saturday morning, which I really appreciated. He was the only contact to return my call and his price was reasonable, so we went with him on the spot. He was able to do the job, early the next week. Very organized, efficient and professional.
Description of Work: We contacted Keith about trimming five full-grown trees, including two fruit trees. A couple of trees were forming a small jungle over and around our garage and another tree was scraping against a neighbor's siding. We were looking for a trim, that would clear out the interfering branches, but would maintain the privacy we were getting with the lush foliage. Keith and his team, did a great job with a conservative cut that was exactly what we were looking for. The trees now have a nice, healthy shape to them and we still have privacy. He also left us the branches cut from one of the fruit trees, so we could harvest the fruit.

Based upon reading the Angie's list reviews regarding the tree guy, I expected the job to cost $250. I called on a Saturday (though I don't believe that is their regular working hours) and left a message for an estimate. Within 15 minutes I received a call back and Keith was in the area to quote me a price. He quickly surveyed the tree and was able to determine that it was healthy and with some thinning he could clear out the branches that were hanging over power lines as well as promote continued health. His quote came in at exactly the price I expected. Within a few days the job was done. The Tree Guy did a good job and I expect to use them in the future.

We used Keith last summer to remove a dying plum tree and we liked his work so much we decided to use his company again to remove a self sowing maple in the back of our property and trim the branches of a large mulberry tree owned by a neighbor on our side of the property. We explained to Keith we had neighbor problems with the owner of the mulberry tree and he trimmed the tree carefully and beautifully without entering the neighbors yard. Now we can walk on that side of the yard without fear of the mulberry's branch falling on our head! The work is excellent. Thanks!

Keith showed up on time to give a quote. After a few days, realizing his quote was much less expensive, I called him to hire his company to do the work. I didn't hear back from him for several days, so I called again. He finally returned my call and apologized for the delay. Two days later, he had completed the work and you could not tell he and his crew (or the tree that was removed) was ever there. I highly recommend this company.

I wasn't 100% satisfied with the job that was originally done. I thought that they could have cleaned up a little better and that one of the branches should have been trimmed back a little more. When I contacted them and voiced these concerns, they came back and took care of both things (at no extra charge).
Description of Work: We needed to have some branches trimmed from a tree in our backyard, as they were scraping against our house. A neighbor needed some work done as well. We called the Tree Guy, who came the next day and gave us an estimate. He did the work soon thereafter.

Response from THE TREE GUY
GAVE ESTIMATE PROMPTLY FOR TREE REMOVAL TO MEMBERS WIFE. SHE STATED THAT THEY WERE HAVING THEIR GARAGE TORE DOWN LATER AND DID NOT SCHEDULE TO HAVE WORK DONE OR SIGN CONTRACT. MEMBER DID NOT CALL BACK TO SCHEDULE WORK FOR THREE WEEKS THEN THEN STATED HE NEEDED IT DONE RIGHT AWAY. WHEN WE RECEIVED THEIR GO AHEAD CALL TO DO THE WORK THEY WERE PLACED ON THE SCHEDULE AND WORK WAS COMPLETED WITH IN A WEEK. MEMBERS NEED TO REALIZE WHEN THEY GET AN ESTIMATE DONE IF THEY DO NOT SCHEDULE THE WORK RIGHT AWAY OTHER CUSTOMERS END UP BEING AHEAD OF THEM. WE ALWAYS STRIVE TO GIVE PROMPT ESTIMATES AND QUICK TURNAROUND ON COMPLETING WORK DONE.

The team (Keith plus three other workers) arrived as scheduled on a Saturday morning with a cherry picker and chipper. The pine trees that were to be removed had grown very close to my house and the house next door. The workers were diligent in making sure no damage was done to either house. They used the cherry picker to maneuver around the trees, first taking the branches out and then cutting the trunks down in 4 to 6 foot sections. All waste was neatly raked away and run through the chipper as promised. Keith had explained in advance that they come back later to drill out the stumps, as they prefer to only bring the stump borer out when they have a total of 10+ trunks to do. As promised, the stumps were bored out within the week, leaving only well-mulched soil where the trees once stood. Keith also did a great job reshaping and pruning dead branches out of an old magnolia tree in our back yard. I will use The Tree Guy for all of my tree work in the future.

Keith called back promptly and schedule a time to come out and look. He arrived a few minutes late but had called to let me know he was running late. He provided a quote right away, and once I gave him the go ahead was out and removed the trees in 4 days. He came back later to grind out the stumps, slightly delayed due to rain. He was unable to get all of the Lilac stump out because it was too close to the fence but he called me to let me know the problem and definitely made the right choice. It never even looked like they were there. I was very happy with their work.
Description of Work: I was looking to have a Mulberry tree along the side of my home removed. It was becoming unruly and was too close to the foundation of the house. I was also looking to have a large Lilac removed from the rear of my house to make way for a new shade tree to be planted.

Keith gave me a great price to remove a large tree, smaller trees, and a lot of shrubbery. He came when he said he would, and they cleaned up impeccably. He was very knowledgeable about trees. The job took a little longer than expected, but the price and service made up for it.

They were very unprofessional. A company should always call back a potential customer within a reasonable amount of time. I would never hire a company that doesn't return a call.
Description of Work: I called for an estimate to remove a large pine tree from the backyard with stump removal. They came out promptly for the estimate. The price quoted was SIGNIFICANTLY less than the next lowest estimate. We would have to wait until they had 10 customers that wanted the stump removed, but insisted it wouldn't be a long wait. I decided to go with this company. I called to accept the offer. Keith answered and said they would talk to the Village and then get back to me with a date to remove the tree. I never received a call back. I left several messages and sent an e-mail but never received a call back. I got not even an, ''I'm sorry we can't do the job'' call. I am very disappointed with this company.

Response from THE TREE GUY
WHEN ESTIMATE WAS GIVEN, IT WAS EXPLAINED THAT WE WERE NOT LICENSED IN FRANKLIN PARK, AND WE WOULD NEED TO CHECK WITH THE VILLAGE. THE HOMEOWNER STATED SHE WAS ONLY TAKING ESTIMATES, AND DID NOT SIGN A CONTRACT. APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS LATER, WE RECEIVED AN E-MAIL STATING SHE WANTED TO GO AHEAD WITH THE WORK, THAT SHE WAS HAVING A GARAGE PUT IN AND NEEDED TO GET IT DONE RIGHT AWAY. KEITH EXPLAINED THAT HE WOULD CHECK WITH THE VILLAGE, AND SHE WOULD BE PUT ON THE WORK LIST, AND THEY COULD NOT GET TO IT FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS, THAT WE WERE BACKED UP WITH STORM DAMAGE DUE TO THE RAINS. WE HAD SEVERAL DAYS OF RAIN, THAT PUT JOBS FURTHER BACK THEN EXPECTED. WE UNDERSTAND THAT SOME CUSTOMERS CAN NOT WAIT TO GET THEIR WORK DONE, BUT WE NEED TO FINISH CUSTOMERS THAT WERE ALREADY AHEAD OF THEM FIRST. WHEN YOU HAVE A HIGH DEMAND TIME, SUCH AS STORM DAMAGE, THOSE JOBS COME FIRST DUE TO THE DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. WE STAND BY OUR WORK AND WORKERS, AND OUR CUSTOMERS!

Keith, the owner and estimator, was prompt and listened to what I wanted from him. He showed up and did exactly what he said he would do. I would definitely use them again. Last, their price was 1/2 the next closest estimate and 1/3 of my highest quote.

Keith and his crew were fantastic, friendly, and courteous. Called for estimate and they came next day, on a Friday. Quoted us $525 to have a huge Evergreen Tree in our front yard removed and a large Oak Tree trimmed. The price was $300 cheaper than other companies that gave us estimates. On Monday morning as promised they arrived at 9:00 AM They did an outstanding job! The large Evergreen that was very close to the house was removed without a hitch. All debris was removed (it was so clean when they left) and they even swept the walkway. We'll be customers for life!

These guys were outstanding. They were polite and helpful in explaining what should be done. Only bad weather delayed them from doing the job the day after I accepted the quote. They did the work as discussed and cleaned up completely once they were done. I couldn't ask for better service, and the price was $200 less than my other quote.

Job 1: The job took two days, and Keith and his crew showed up on back-to-back days, and cleaned up fully. The work was tricky and tight, and the job was completed with absolutely no damage to our property, which was amazing considering the circumstances. My only annoyance was a bit of phone tag--the m.o. seems to be 1) call, leave a message, then 2) wait for a call back from a caller id blocked number. Service was provided on the day promised. I will definitely use Keith again. Job 2: Second experience was just as fantastic as the first. Showed up on the day promised and completed the work. They cleaned up so well that if it weren't for the stump, I wouldn't have known anyone was here.
Description of Work: Job 1: Removed an enormous catalpa tree that threatened our home's foundation, removed a portion of a birch tree that was leaning against our house and removed a large amount of brush that I had chopped down prior to their arrival. Our home's prior owner had let the vegetation get out of control, and Keith essentially cleaned up our property. ($1000) Job 2: Removal of diseased elm tree and a brush pile. ($750)
