Cross Island Tree Service

AMAZING TEAMWORK BY A TRAINED & SKILLED TREE SERVICE CREW, SIMPLY AMAZING. ADD 5 EXTRA STARS ON, WE GIVE IT A 10 STAR RATING! 516-306-3839 This may be a bit long, but please read, thank you. We hated to cut down this over 100 year old Oak tree in our yard. But it was near our house and the branches high above were over our house and the trunk was starting to lift out of the ground! Before it destroys our home or our neighbors homes from strong winds and storms, we decided to have it cut down, it was time for it to go. I called in 5 tree experts, we chose CROSS ISLAND TREE SERVICE, we liked the reviews seen on Google, Santos the owner came over in less than an hour after I called him for an estimate, after a little back and forth about the price, Santos gave us a very fair price the we could afford. Santos also assured us, no property would be damaged and all debris would be cleaned up. Santos told us, to trim and prune the Red Maple tree in front of our house and to remove and grind down the stump of the Oak tree on the side of our house and because we are a corner property with wires on the side and in front of our house, it would take about 3-4 hours using 10 men. Santos told us this was really a small job for him and he does small as well as much larger jobs too. We were lucky, CITS had a morning opening to do the work 3 days from the time the estimate was given. The day the work began, I opened my door at 7:30AM, their truck and chipper machine were already in front of our home! Men were moving in all directions, some started trimming the Red Maple tree and others were already climbing up the old Oak tree, Santos said for this job he did not need to use his bucket truck, his men were skilled enough to climb and take down this tree even over wires and a busy Avenue with morning traffic.Wow, I did not know where to look and watch first? Everyone knew exactly what they had to do! No branches were dropped to the ground, all branches were lowered by rope and placed exactly where they wanted it to be, from there it carried to the chipper machine and blown into the back of their truck to be hauled away. Santos the owner stayed on this job the full time, he manned the chipper machine and did other jobs too. We were in awe, this crew ran like a precision time piece, as the branches and leaves came down, there were men raking and cleaning up as the tree removal progressed, just amazing! When it came time for the heavier branches and tree trunk to be cut they used what I call a hydraulic grabber that grabbed the heavy wood and placed it where they wanted it to go, Santos was operating this grabber machine even between the wire on the street, I still cannot believe what I saw happening before my very eyes. CITS equipment to me looked all brand new, trucks and machinery alike, you could see all was well taken care of and NO OIL LEAKS in the streets, like other reviews complained about using OTHER tree service companies! With the okay from Santos, around 10AM, I had delivered a hot breakfast and coffee for everyone and when the job was done I gave each of the men a nice thank you tip. I felt they really deserved it! With all these long branches coming down, they NEVER TOUCHED our home, the fence, the hedges or shrubs, when the left at 11:30AM, 4 hours later, our lawns and streets were so clean, you would never know they were here at all. They even brought wood to my neighbor for his fireplace two doors down. I cannot say enough about this great tree service company run by Santos! BRAVO to CROSS ISLAND TREE SERVICE, and we thank you AGAIN! Joe & Angela

5+ Star review! This company is awesome. After I clicked in Angi's list to get a quote, they called within 2 minutes. They arrived within 30 min to get me that quote. Their quote was 40% less than everyone else I got a quote from. YES FOURTY % LESS! I was pleasantly surprised. Less than an hour later, the crews arrived and took care of these 2 large trees in my yard. One tree was even entangled in power wires. They were very professional and efficent. They cleaned EVERYTHING. If you had not seen them in my yard, you would have never known anything was done. Thats their level of efficency. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone. I am so glad I used them. Even my neighbors were impressed by Cross Island Tree Service. I have some trees in my front yard that need to be handled at a later date and I will be using this company again!! Thank you Cross Island Tree Service!

The price was right for services rendered. The work was done safely and efficiently. The work proceeded quickly. Cleanup was also done to my satisfaction. The stump was turned into little pieces. The tree parts enjoyed their turn in the wood chipper and then proceeded in an orderly flight into the truck.

They came the same day and were very quick and efficient and cleaned up pretty well.

They did a fantastic job I highly recommend them. They came on time and did a great job with removal of the tree and stump and the debris fantastic clean up and did the job quickly
