Greg did an amazing job! He had an extremely fast response time! He completed an extremely difficult job of cutting down a giant Bradford Pear tree in my backyard. The tree was extremely close to my garage, as well, as my neighbors. My backyard is very small, so he had very little room to maneuver to cut the tree down and he navigated these obstacles with extreme care. He and Merlin did such a wonderful job, they cleaned up and even came back to help with additional work I requested to help level my backyard to get ready for new landscaping, etc. He also helped fix some drainage issues in the backyard! I highly recommend this company!

Response from Bennett & Sons Tree Service
Based on our records,[Member's name removed] request was made last June 29, 2015. It was the time that we were in the middle of doing a lot of storm jobs. Peoria was hit by 3 or 4 storms in the last 3 weeks of June and we got a lot of emergency jobs then, working very early in the morning until late at night and even on weekends to finish said jobs. We worked for almost a month doing emergency/storm jobs. [Member's name removed] was also told that we would give her an estimate AS SOON AS WE ARE ABLE as we have to prioritize removing trees and/or big limbs that fell on houses, garages and/or cars that caused big damages. Hers is a request for an estimate for regular trimming. Our existing customers which we have are already scheduled to do their trees have been very understandable of the situation. Some who also request for estimate thru Angie's List that was also affected by the storm but with very little or no damage at all also understood that we needed to do first those that have incurred more damages. It's just this week that we are finally getting back on our regular schedule. In fact, we already saw some customers who had called us up during the storm/s week for an estimate for regular trimming or tree removal. Those calls were made ahead of[Member's name removed]. If the situation would have been different, we would have seen her sooner or if she was on the other customers' shoes who incurred big damages from the storm, we would have helped her ahead of those regular requests for tree trimming or removal.

Mr. Bennett and his crew trimmed branches from three trees so limbs weren't hanging over power lines, or our roof. and were also thinned out. They also removed a damaged limb that was possibly hit by lightening. The trees were bare by the time they could get us in their schedule so I'm not sure how they will look with foliage, but they cut alot off. Mr. Bennett has won local business awards and seems quite knowledgeable.

We were extremely happy with the service Greg and his crew provided. They did exactly what he promised, even worked in the rain to make sure he completed the job in 2 consecutive days. Greg even went to my neighbor so they would not be alarmed and explained how he was going to trim the tree that had a large branch hanging over their house. Two of the trees he cut down were not in an easy location to work on. One was between two houses and also between two other trees that remained. The other tree was in the back corner of my yard behind my shed - no trouble for them to remove without any damage to the surroundings. The cleanup was perfect. I came home from work during lunch to see how things were going the first day and thought I was going to have a lot of clean up to do on my own once he was finished but I was completely wrong. They had EVERYTHING cleaned up - even the crab apples that covered the ground as they cut down one of the trees were cleaned up. I would recommend Bennett & Sons Tree Service to my own mom - you can't get a better recommendation then that.

Greg and his crew showed up on time and they did a good job of cleaning up after themselves. The stumps were ground completely and both trimmed trees look good. I had to follow up several times to make sure I was on his schedule but that's true for almost every contractor during their busy season. I would use his services again in the future.

I contacted several companies to remove a large, dead, maple from my front yard (including stump removal). While other companies were difficult to make contact with and schedule an estimate, Bennett & Sons were extremely prompt in their response to my inquiry. Greg came out and gave me a simple, straight forward estimate. He left a message when I didn't answer the first time he called and made a follow up phonecall after that. After finally getting estimates from other companies, Greg's estimate was the cheapest. In addition, I was much more comfortable with the level of service I received - simply during the estimate - with Greg than I was with the other companies. I called to schedule the work on Monday and he told me he would be out on Wednesday/Thursday to complete the work. Due to the rain/thunderstorms, the work was pushed back to Thursday/Friday. As I was out of town for work that week, I had expected the work to be done by the time I got home Thursday. Greg knew this and he made it a point to contact me to let me know of the delay and to apologize for the mess that was in the yard still. He assured me he would be out Friday to complete the work. Greg returned Friday and did a superb job! His equipment was obviously well maintained. The clean up was so impressive that you could barely tell a tree had been there. In fact, I believe my driveway was cleaner after he left than it was before he arrived to do the work! I would (and actually already have) recommend Bennett & Sons for anyone who is looking to have a tree removed.

The job went great. Greg is very professional and very qualified to do any type of tree service you ask him to do. On the second day of the job he was a man short because of a no show. Even with being one man down they got the job done. This impressed me very much considering this was a lot of work for two people to do. But they got it done, and i was very pleased with the work and amazed that two people could do what they did in the time they did it in. If i every need a tree service again BENNETT & SONS TREE SERVICE is on my speed dial!
Description of Work: Greg cut down 3 very large red oaks and a smaller tree. One of the oaks my neighbor and i split the cost his bill came to 600.00 so the total cost between us both was 2,300.00. Also took away brush and cleaned up yard when he finished. A family member wanted all the wood so Greg put it in neat piles in my yard. Greg was quick in returning my call and coming out to give me a proposal for the job. He is bonded and insured and supply's proof of both. Most of the other company's i looked at i wouldn't hire because they didn't carry insurance. You have to remember that if you hire a company that's not insured you may be liable for any workers hurt and damage to property all falls on you. If his proposal is ever a bit higher than someone else's you have to ask yourself, do i want to pay maybe a little more now or possibly thousand later on down the road. The math isn't hard to do on this one folks. I hired BENNETT & SONS TREE SERVICE because of a very fair proposal and for the piece of mind it gave me knowing his company was insured.

Response from Bennett & Sons Tree Service
I can certainly understand a review for work performed badly, but a review for non response is a bit unreasonable, and because we are a great service we are still working even into the new year when most services have been done working for a month or two. My service gets flooded with calls, so it is difficult to get to them all but we try. We answer all are our calls 24/7, and we have the highest quality service anywhere, and that puts us in great demand. I Greg Bennett always feel badly for those to whom I don't get to. I don't want to give much time to the rare person that is so quick to judgement, especially when they don't have all the facts. I have come to understand that some who rush to judgement might be having a terrible brain having disease called.

Greg was great by explaining what he was going to do and why. He trimmed 3 maples off the roofline and removed dead wood from the trees. He also trimmed back a large tulip tree in the backyard. He had to remove a panel of our chained link fence to get equipment in the backyard. He was very considerate of our dogs and put the fence back together after his team completed. He also trimmed the bottom of two other trees (that were not in the original quote) as a favor. HIs team was professional and they cleaned up and removed all the limbs, branches, and raked up the small sticks and leaves. Considering it was a holiday and 100 degrees, I was impressed by the way they "got the job done". I will use them for future tree trimming.
Description of Work: Trimmed four large trees - 3 off our rooftop of our house and one in our backyard.

Decided not to use because too expensive.
Description of Work: Nice guy, i called twice before getting a call back and then when he did call back he wanted to stop by to do the estimate right then...which luckily was actually great timing. He gave a thoughtful estimate and made good suggestions, but his price to cut down one tree without grinding the stump out was $200 more than the other price I got that included the stump.

I am always fair with my pricing. But statement not fair without confirming insurance documentation, and more importantly workmanship comp. I can supply all these and in fact ins. Man # is listed at the bottom of my est. sheets. Comp. can be forwarded upon request. A lot of companies can't offer this.

Greg Bennett did an excellent job of removing a large tree in the backyard. He is friendly and courteous, and very knowledgeable about his profession. The tree came down in less than an hour, and the clean up was fantastic. When I went back to look at their work, I was extremely pleased to see that the vegetation was not disturbed, the tree was gone, and except for a few tire marks in the grass (that you would expect), you wouldn't even know work had been done. I would definitely recommend Greg Bennett Tree Service.

It went extremely well overall, highly recommended.
Description of Work: A twenty-foot long branch snapped on a very large and overgrown walnut tree in my front yard and was dangling from a height of about 25 feet. I had planned to have the tree trimmed in the near future anyway and decided that I might as well have the whole job done now instead of just having the branch removed. I called Bennett & Son's office just after 8 AM on the 20th and was told that Greg (the owner) was already out on a job and would likely stop by my house at the end of the day. Instead, Greg called me at 10:30 AM and told me he was on his way. He arrived ten minutes later and we discussed what I wanted done. He gave me a "not to exceed" estimate that would have amounted to about $1000. It seemed reasonable, and I told Greg that there was a bit of urgency to the job since I had a concrete contractor coming to replace my driveway on the 25th. Greg thought a moment and then told me he could do the job the next day (today). He and his crew showed up on time and did a remarkable job of trimming and shaping a sixty-foot tall tree that over the years had come to look more like a huge shrub. On a day that the heat index was 108 he and his crew still worked at a pace that allowed them to finish the job in over an hour less than the "not to exceed" estimate and the job came in at $250 less than anticipated. I couldn't be more pleased...my tree actually looks like a tree again. As if all that weren't enough, Greg was a pleasure to deal with throughout, and we had a couple of conversations in the process.
