Reviews of local pros in Northbrook, Illinois

I recently had hired this company.
They are OBNOXIOUSLY expensive.
$2,500 I was shocked how little was done.
Workers were at my house for an hour and said they were done.
No special equipment was needed just a ladder and a saw.
I was stunned. They did half the work that was on their work order.
I had to tell them three times to finish the job which took another 50 minutes.
Under two hours for 3 workers is theft.

GET FEW ESTIMATES BEFORE YOU TRUST A SMOOTH TALKING SALESMAN.

Always stands behind your work. Keeps pricing within reason. Cleanup well done!

Prompt, friendly and helpful. Worked hard and efficiently. Very happy with the tree trimming and pruning. I will definitely use them again.

SavATree is informative, good at listening and asking questions and cares enough to make sure the job is well done.

Great job trimming arborvitae and topping them. Really looks great. Have used these guys many times and I’d continue to use them.

Several men put up Christmas outdoor lights. They were conscientious and courteous as they are every year. They did a great job.

We wanted to save our 32-year-old Catalpa on the condo's private property but were concerned about its health and public risk. One highly respected arborist company said we should trim the tree, and yes, there is bark disease, but it can recuperate and advised against removal. SavATree urged removal advised it was too far diseased, the core is likely hollow, and it poses a risk to the public as it was leaning over the public sidewalk. The condo board decided to have it removed. The trunk, from the root to the midsection, was hollow, and wood rot was most prevalent at the base! We dodged a bullet. Highly recommend SavATree!

We have used Sav a Tree for general annual tree trimming on 3 large maples and one large pine. This is a busy time of year but was able to schedule an appointment with Josh on short notice to help diagnose and get treatment recommendation for a carpenter ant problem on two of our trees. Josh was prompt in getting back to me to schedule an appointment and prompt in arriving on time. Very helpful and professional.

I have used SavATree before and been happy. But in their last trip I had them remove a second willow that was split. They were supposed to stack the trunk near the tree. They left the trunk where it fell ignoring the fact that it was crushing other live trees and bushes. I understand that they could hit the trees when they dropped it, but I would think they would take it off them once it was safely on the ground... There is no way I consider this stacked...

The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, did the job right, and were polite and attentive. The price was reasonable and everything went smoothly.

Love this company. They are professional, skilled, knowledgeable, and they truly care about trees and keeping them healthy. I would recommend them to anyone with an older tree that wants to extend the life and health of the tree for as long as possible.

I had Shea come out to do a walkthrough and give me an estimate, and right away I knew I was in good hands. She was very helpful and gave me the answers I need. Got me a quote an hour later. Work was done by a small crew a few days later and they were fantastic. Efficient, safe, respectful of our yard and leaving it nicer than when they arrived. I'll use them anytime I have the need and definitely recommend.

We had some trees thinned, reshaped and cut back so they are not touching the house. The arborist Matt came with the crew to make sure they did what was discussed at the appraisal. They were very accommodating, making sure everything was done to our satisfaction. Very efficient crew and we especially like having the arborist there overseeing the job.

I was so impressed with the guys who spent the day trimming my trees. They clearly knew what I wanted done and they followed everything perfectly. They did an amazing job. I was so excited to see the end result. When I first received the estimate, I was a bit surprised at how high it seemed to be. But from what I saw when my trees were trimmed, I have to say the work was worth every penny. The trimming looks so good, beyond my expectations. Mark McGinnis, the arborist, was extremely helpful and took time with me to show me what needed to be done. Froilan, the crew foreman, did a great job of listening and making certain everything that needed to be done did get done. I was enthusiastically impressed!

We have worked with SavAtree for at least 10 years. From the office staff, to the Arborist to the men that come out to do the work, they are friendly, responsive and professional. They have worked with us to maintain the health of the trees in our backyard and they have been there for us when we have had emergencies (i.e. branches down in a storm). They treat you like family and leave you feeling like they truly care and will do their best to take care of you. We recently had a large branch come down and take out power lines and Jen in the front office was so sweet and helpful to work with us to get an arborist out to take a look. Rob Bell, our arborist, was out the next day and was beyond kind and helpful in getting this issue taken care of for us and our neighbors. Finally, Preston and Steven came out to take care of cutting up the branch in our yard and our neighbor’s, hauling away all the debris and leaving the worksite pristine. Their attention to detail from start to finish was impressive. SavAtree operates with true sense of “customer service” as its goal, and that is not very common in today’s world. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Had a great experience with SavATree and Jonathan. Their team was great with scheduling and handled difficult tree trimming project for us on time and with great communication. I look forward to working with them again. We were very pleased to get professional insights into the health of the tree, and are happy to save it as part of our home!

Preserving the health of our trees is very important to us. I have been using SavATree and its predecessor for years and have be highly pleased with their professional advice and the effectiveness of their care services. Teams are experienced, prompt, and professional.

Joshua was amazing to work with! He came out on a short notice and gave me a fast, honest, EXCELLENT quote! They were scheduled out a little but they came early, accommodating my time request, and finishing the tree trimming within 2 hours and it was done flawlessly! Will definitely use again.

Jake was a consummate professional, kind and knowledgeable. I highly recommend SavATree for any tree related services.

We've been working with Kevin and team for about 7 years and are always happy with their work. They take great care of our apple tree.

A great company with long community ties. Prompt estimate by expert arborist. Work on several trees carried out a week later by skilled, neat and courteous crew who were attentive to point-of-service extra trimming.
