Reviews of local pros in Chicago, Illinois

I had a tree brushing up against power lines during a storm, causing dangerous arcing and sparks. Humberto returned my call the same day & checked it out; they arrived first thing the following morning to remove the offending tree & two others, plus three ugly shrubs. All in a day! Many thanks to Humberto & Crew for the fast service and great quote!

Humberto and his team were very flexible and worked with us to remove a tree and some bushes before another project started. They were on time, fast, careful and left the area cleaner than when they started. They were great to work with. Highly recommended!

Horrible experience and extremely rude, especially the obnoxious lady who answers the phone when I called about issues and then proceeded to laugh and hang up on me.

I called them to ask if they would be able to help with a little black cat stuck in a neighbors tree, and Humberto was so kind. I immediately felt better after speaking with him. The next day he came out even after his grandmothers funeral and rescued the cat. We found the owner the next morning. Humberto is such a kind, thoughtful guy and I can’t recommend Fernandez Tree service enough!

Absolutely excellent service! They even came out on a Sunday to do the work because the size of our trees would require blocking the street and they wanted to be considerate to the flow of traffic. Humberto was friendly, the entire team worked incredibly quickly, and the quote was reasonable.

I give 5 STAR to Fernandez tree service. They’re are best in town, hard working, and attention to detail. They’re extremely fair! They did an amazing job removing my 100 year old American Elm tree. I would recommend Fernandez Tree Service 100%.

I highly recommend Umberto and his crew.Came by and gave me an estimate the same day I called and his price was in the ballpark of the others I recieved. Fully licensed and bonded with top tier equipment.As the two trees I wanted removed were in the back by electric lines that was important to me.He came on a Sunday and he and his crew had both down and cleaned up in 3 hours.As a bonus he was able to stump out one that others said they couldn’t do. Would recommend him to everyone.

Adding more to my review from a few years ago. Hired Humberto and his team again to remove a dead tree. Once again, a great experience! Team was fast and efficient, navigated several obstacles in our yard, and had the tree out in no time. Highly recommend!

Couldn't be happier with Fernandez Tree Service. Contacted Humberto for a quote to remove a ton of shrubs from our yard. He was friendly, professional, prompt, and gave us a great price. On the day of the job, the whole team was great. They worked quickly and efficiently, removing all the unwanted bushes in a couple of hours. They even swept the dirt back into the planting beds and raked the yard when they were done. Very glad we didn't try to do the work ourselves (would have taken all summer), and super pleased with Humberto and his team! Highly recommend!

This is the second time we have used Fernandez Tree service. The first time was to take down a struggling maple tree. Humberto and his talented crew showed up on time and did such a fantastic job! We knew who we had to call when we needed a large Oak tree branch removed. It was growing against a very tight part of our house. Very tricky to get to. Again, he was here on-time with his crew. They were able to remove the branch with zero damage to the house, the garage or the multiple wires going right next to the tree. They treated the “sore” of where the branch was removed and cleaned my yard up so nice it looked better than how they found it. This crew was amazing how they all communicated with each other to keep safety first! And since he was here doing such great work, a couple of my neighbors asked him to do some trimming of their trees, which he was kind enough to do. If you ever need anything done to your trees, Humberto is the one to call. He is an actual Arborist as well and he always has tips or recommendations for your other trees. He's so nice that you feel like you should invite him to Thanksgiving dinner! Thanks again, Humberto!!

Mr Fernandez was a complete professional. I strongly recommend Fernandez Tree Service. They were hardworking and knowledgeable. When I asked for additional trees to come down, he was very accommodating. I couldn’t have asked for better service than I received from Fernandez Tree Service. They

If you need a tree guy, look no further. Fernandez’s Tree service removed two big trees on our property and we were very happy with the crew and removal process. The owner was great to deal with. You will be happy if you go with Fernandez.

Very friendly and professional team. Managed tight location and cables strung across the yard. Impressed with quality of equipment.

Had an old tree leaning too close to my house and finally decided to take it down. Found a company with good reviews and they came out for a free quote. The crew showed up with all the gear and did a safe clean removal. They lowered branches slowly and nothing hit the fence or roof. Took a couple hours and they even ground the stump without charging extra. Only issue was the truck blocked part of my driveway but they moved it when I asked. The yard was spotless after and you’d barely know a tree was there. I feel so much better knowing it won’t crash in a storm. These guys were professional and fast. If you’ve got a tree that makes you nervous call someone before it’s too late. I waited too long and got lucky. Glad I called when I did.

STELLAR JOB!!!! Just FANTASTIC!!!! We hired Fernandez Tree Service to remove 3 massively overgrown Spruce/Pine Trees originally planted WAY TOO CLOSE to our building to prevent further damage to our masonry wall, foundation, & roof. Humberto & his crew did an absolutely wonderful job! Full crew & equipment arrived on time & full job (including SUPERB cleanup) was efficiently completely in around 2 hours - Hire Humberto for any/all tree care needs!!!

Humberto was great to work with. His team did an incredible job. They brought a bunch of trucks and a large crew so they were done very quickly. I was kind of shocked at all the equipment, chippers, large trucks to catch the debris, one with a giant man-lift. They are not messing around. It was an extremely professional experience. They trimmed 5 trees in a couple hours. They are also licensed to do work on the parkway in front of my house. I needed a couple trees cleaned up that the city has not been able to get to and Humberto handled the permit and did a great job. They really know what they were doing and were very careful with the trees and the property, both mine and my neighbours. I was referred to them and was not disappointed.

In July of 2025, I found myself in a pickle. In one quick internet search I found Fernandez Tree Service, Inc.

Excellent work in removing a large maple tree from the backyard. They were very careful not to damage my property or neighbors. Highly recommend them!

Wonderful service! We had a minor emergency situation with a large limb that had fallen on our neighbor’s fence, and our previous provider was not returning phone calls. We called Fernandez next- Humberto answered right away and came out to assess same day. He rearranged his schedule and got us in the next day, which was a huge relief. The crew was fabulous and worked hard not to disturb any landscaping around the tree. A job very well done!

Super happy with these guys and the high quality service they provided. They showed up on time on the day they promised and started promptly. They have top quality equipment and everyone was very professional and friendly. I asked for a 2” section of the tree to be cut for me so I could make a side table with the slab. A few minutes later one of the guys was at the door with a nice cut from the tree to see if it was what I wanted.

100% will use again for tree service.

I would have Never Been Able to Do this without Humberto!! Excellent service! Out of 5 bids….he got it! Save yourself the research! I’ve done it!! Humberto is a Botanist and knows exactly what he’s doing! He would not allow me to give him any money til the job was over and I was satisfied! Well I AM MORE THAN SATISFIED! His crew is amazing….Start with Spider-Man climbing and cutting and the spotters eyes never left him!! I would Reccomend Fernandez Tree Service to anyone!! A++++++++++++++

I couldn’t recommend Humberto and his amazing crew more! They managed our tricky tree removal with professionalism, speed and care for property. In spite of the challenges of an extremely large tree removal in a very small space (City of Chicago yard with close neighbors, power lines, etc.), they made it work and charged a reasonable price. A+++
