Reviews of local pros in Chicago, Illinois

Professional, efficient, and incredibly easy to work with. The crew arrived on time, explained the plan clearly, and handled everything with care — from trimming to cleanup. Trees were shaped beautifully without damaging surrounding areas, and the whole yard looked cleaner and safer afterward.

Pricing felt fair for the quality of work, and communication was smooth from start to finish. It’s great to find a team that works quickly while still paying attention to detail. Highly recommended for any tree care needs.

Jose Tree Service came to our home and did an amazing job trimming down an emergency tree situation. They were extremely professional, very reasonably priced, and the quality of their work was outstanding. We truly appreciate that they came out on Thanksgiving—our sincere apologies for calling on the holiday, but we are so grateful for the exceptional service they delivered. Highly recommend!

My husband and I have had them trimmed and cut down trees. The most recent was a smaller tree by the road and a huge one between my neighbors and us. They arrived at 9am and was done by 2 pm. Since they were over all day working hard I bought them pizzas as a thank you. They cleaned up and left the areas where the trees were like they never existed. Watching the guy pick up the logs was pretty cool to see. We will definitely be using them again in the future. I highly recommend Jose’s Tree Service to have any tree work done.

I had a 70 foot dead elm tree in my back yard and really hard to get too..Jose and his team collaborated with him, wearing the correct PPE using safety with all procedures... These guys are super polite and very affordable and clean.. I would highly recommend Jose's tree service to anyone that has a tough situation with a tree removal...
Thank you Jose!! Your the man!!

As in the past , Dan responded to our concerns and explained clearly what needed to be done. They did a great job working on our Maple tree which was difficult to reach given its location. They managed not to disturb other plantings and left the site in good order when they were finished. We will use them again

Care of Trees came to check out our backyard tree last year. They said the tree was still alive and only needed some pruning. We spent over $600 on the pruning (which took them about 30 minutes although they said it was a lot of work and would take hours). Just a few short months later there were no leaves and the trunk started peeling off - clear signs of a dead tree. The Care of Trees service person was very argumentative and would not give us any sort of credit or refund and would not accept culpability. Customer service was bad. Now I have to pay someone else to cut the tree down.

The service was exceptional from the initial work scoping meeting to the actual work being performed just a couple of weeks later.
The work was of the best quality, with great clean-up & "friendly" to us and our yard.
All this is why we keep relying on CofT to keep our trees healthy-----

Although I did not personally meet Dan I was very impressed with his evaluation of our oak tree. He took the time to really look at the tree and wrote a very detailed evaluation and proposal. We had had numerous companies come out to give us a quote to take down our tree and to determine whether or not we should try to save our tree or take it down. He was way above everyone else in his evaluation. However, the cost to remove our tree and stump was also way above other quotes and that is the only reason we did not hire him. We did go with another company who offered to grind the stump 18 inches down for about 4-6,000 less.

But Dan was very responsive to emails and was on time at the scheduled appointment.

I do recommend this company.

The Care of Trees should be your go to firm for any of your tree needs. They did a great job trimming a very large, and tall, maple tree in the back yard and trimming birches, lilac tree and pine tree. Also treating borer to keep the birches healthy. The crew does a great job of clean up as well! Highly recommend their services!

Arborist Charlie Miller, really knows his stuff. Crew that did trimming was excellent, understood my needs, made suggestions that were really good, cleaned up area very well. Great care!

This is a very responsible, professional company. They have great customer service. The crew was knowledgeable and very conscientious. They protected my plants during the work and confirmed with me throughout the job. They cleaned all the debris from our yard. I am very happy with the work they did and would recommend them to anyone.

I had what I thought was a simple request - to have a tree in my yard cabled. I made several attempts with a couple of companies, and The Care of Trees was the only company to have someone respond. Alison was informative and helpful, and although at first I was taken aback by the price - because of her suggestion that the tree should be trimmed as well as cabled - in the end, I had to admit that she was right.
When I didn't feel as if the tree had been sufficiently trimmed after the initial visit, Alison was quick to offer another visit, and after that was done, I was totally pleased with the results. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Care of Trees to others, and to use the service again in the future.

Our Schubert Cherry contracted black knot fungus and badly needed pruning. Davey Tree Experts came out and restored our tree’s canopy shape with uniform branch density. They pruned all the black knot out of all the branches. They reduced height and canopy spread to improve aesthetics and reduce storm damage potential. The crew was very efficient, professional, and cleaned up beautifully. We will look forward to the beautiful tree this summer. Thank you.

Very pleased with the staff including the office staff. Emmanuel was very professional and took the time to explain to me how they would prune my mother's tree.

The crew called me right before they arrived. They did a great job and cleaned up nicely after they were done.

I highly recommend this company .

A few years ago, Care of Trees did a great job of trimming my giant , old maple in my front yard. I was have noticed a lot of dead branches so I emailed to get an estimate a few months back. I received no response and called the office. I was told that the arborist was real busy and that he would come out within a few weeks and email me an estimate. I heard nothing and called back about a month later and asked about my estimate. I was told that the guy had come out but that my tree was on the parkway and I should let the city trim it. Obviously, the guy had gone to the wrong place. I mentioned that Care had trimmed it previously and that it wasn't on the parkway.
I was told that they guy would double check and email an estimate. A while later, I got an estimate for ripping the whole tree down and for trimming it. I responded that I would like it trimmed. I heard nothing for a few weeks and I got an email asking me if I wanted to have the work done. I responded again that I wanted the tree trimmed,and asked that my request be acknowledged. Heard nothing, no call, no email, no fax or carrier pigeon.
Loved what you guys did a while ago, but it seems like you folks are either too busy to take care of an old client or completely asleep at the switch. I guess it's back to Angie's List to find someone who is interested in doing the job.

I was very impressed with the professionalism. Emmanuel explained everything that I could expect to remove the tree from my property.
Benjamin rang my bell and introduced himself. All of the workmen worked as a team and were courteous. They finished the work and clean up behind themselves which is important to me. I recommend this company to anyone needing tree removal or care.

Great Service!! Has a tricky tree removal project. Sean was super diligent and worked it through with forestry till we got the permit. then the removal was done fast, efficiently and with no trace or debris left behind. Price was reasonable and under all "comparable" companies' (not 2 men and an ax)

I have been using Chicago Care of Trees for many years and continue to appreciate their services under new ownership Davey Tree Company. Their work is always excellent, though you may have to wait a bit during peak season. Highly recommend.

Very happy customer!! Emmanuel came to my home for the initial visit and gave me an assessment of each tree. I had a couple of the trees planted myself, and it was great to speak with someone so knowledgeable about trees. With an itemized invoice, I could decide the services, and I selected all of them. On the day of service, Emmanuel came with the three-man crew and we walked through what would be done in the yard. When the men left, my yard was beautiful. They cut down the dead trees and ground down the roots of the ones they could reach (as agreed before work was done). They cut dead branches and moved branches away from the roof of my house. They trimmed the trees so other plants could grow. The crew was efficient, followed directions to the letter, and very respectful. I was impressed. I love trees and really love my yard after their work. When it is time to plant new trees, I'm coming back to The Care of Trees. [September 11, 2019]

Davey Tree did a terrific job trimming up the 90 year old oak tree on my property. Took off a bunch of dead branches, fertilized and hopefully the old tree will be revitalized once spring comes along.

This company is very responsive, transparent, and communicates exactly what needs to be done. We had a couple of mature trees trimmed and thinned because their branches had grown to the roof and power lines. Alison came out and quoted the job. She is great to work with, very personable, and she definitely knows her trees! They do a great job with the removing the limbs and branches (not a chop job) and clean up everything when done! They obtain permits if needed on your behalf. We will definitely use them again when needed!
