John came out within 2 days after I called to give me a quote. Once I hired them, Matt arrived with several workers 2 days later to do the job. The work was impeccable. I can't emphasize enough how professional they were! Work was done within a couple of hours and there was no trace of remaining debris. I've hired two different companies in the past two years for tree removal and trimming and have been very disappointed in the quality of work and how outrageous the price was. I've already recommended this company to several people. If you're in need of tree service, look no further. You will not be disappointed!!!
Description of Work: I had multiple jobs to get done. From trimming trees, bushes and removing several large tree limbs.

Very well. They brought about 5 men and all the equipment they needed to remove it quickly and safely. The tree was down and cleaned up in about 2.5 hours. They were very professional. I would hire them again, if needed.
Description of Work: Had a large tree that needed to come down, it was 10 ft from our house and hung over a neighbors fence.

Illinois Tree Service was excellent. The guy who does all the work is a guy named Matt. These guys did a great job and I did not? know how they did not damage the trees house because whoever planted them had planted them a little close. They were there when?I called them. They said they would be there a certain day and. that day they were there at that time. They were very prompt and very professional. I will be calling them again in the Fall because I have an Elm?tree that has to come down. The whole top of it is?dead and it seems to have some kind of disease.
Description of Work: I had two trees that were hit by lightening. A whole bunch of stuff was hit by lightening, but the trees -- two huge pine trees that were about 40 feet had to come down.

John could not have been more professional. For both the estimate and the work, Illinois Tree Service was punctual and professional. They offered a very competitive price, were able to schedule within the week, returned calls and answered emails promptly, and were all-around great to work with. I've already recommended them to several friends. On the morning of the job, they showed up right on time, worked efficiently, did everything exactly as advertised, and did an AMAZING job of cleaning up after themselves. I was so impressed by their work and demeanor.
Description of Work: We needed two trees on our property removed, and a third tree trimmed.

I've used Matt on multiple occasions over the years and he is phenomenal. Have built several teardown homes and wish every contractor was as awesome as Matt. Used him again today after not having contact with him for 3-4 years. He came out next day, and his crew did the work in no time. He's the kind of guy that will come out, look at your situation, and give you a quote on the spot.

We were very pleased with the end result. Once we accepted the estimate, within few days, they came out to complete the work. John was very good with prompt communications & answering our questions. From the start, he appeared very knowledgeable & professional. This was a big job, completed in one day. Great job cleaning up! We highly recommend Illinois Tree Service!

They did a great job. I worked with John on the estimate. He was responsive from start to finish. Once we agreed to the price, they provided a date and time only a few days away. The 4 man team showed up about an hour early (not a problem in my book). They took the tree down in less than an hour and removed the few extra stumps for us in an additional hour. In less than 2 hours, had all the work done and left the wood/mulch in nice piles. Would highly recommend!
Description of Work: Remove a very large/tall elm tree in backyard which was dying. Needed a few additional stumps removed from trees we removed ourselves.

They were VERY responsive in sending someone out for an estimate, and their office was very professional to deal with during scheduling and confirming insurance, etc. They showed up when promised and handled all the work with no issues, including avoiding damage to the underlying and surrounding plantings and shrubs. Did a great job cleaning up all the branches, etc. Their price was very competitive. Would definitely recommend these guys.
Description of Work: We had a VERY large River Birch removed near the roadway and had them grind down that stump and 8 other stumps in our yard.

I would give Illinois Tree Service, Matt and his team an A+
Description of Work: We have called Matt for all different types of tree service over the years and have recommended Illinois Tree Service to our neighbors, now we're happy to extend that rec to you too. They have done everything from trimming our trees to removal and, recently, helped us out doing a very small job as well. We watched them expertly remove our neighbor's broken cottonwood tree too, easy to do since a lot of it was in our yard. They did what looked like a dangerous job expertly. They are prompt, easy to reach and professional. We found them randomly and, to be honest, chose them over others by price alone when we needed a tree removed. Their services are quite reasonable for the area.

It went very well. A tree-service rep stopped by the day I called, looked it all over, and gave me a price on the work. I agreed with his assessment of the issues, and he estimated that a crew would be out to do the job within a few days...which they did. The crew worked quickly, with the group leader supervising all aspects; he then showed me the results, explaining the cuts made on the tree which was "threatening" my roof.
Description of Work: I needed two stumps removed, two trees removed and expert advice/partial removal of a very large tree that had grown lopsided with a huge portion hanging over my roof.
