"Matt from Illinois Tree was able to stop out quickly and provide an on-the-spot & fair quote for removing an overgrown locust tree too close to my house. He was straight-forward and said that it would be three weeks before they could get to my job. Fortunately, with favorable weather, he was able to work me in sooner and get the tree cut within a week of setting up the job. The crew did a good job of cleaning up the yard and the deck of any excess debris. Everything went according to plan and they will be my first call for future tree service needs."

"I recently hired Semper Fi Tree Service, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their professionalism and expertise. From the moment I reached out, their communication was quick, clear, and consistent. They were incredibly responsive and always took the time to thoroughly explain everything—whether it was why full tree removal was necessary or why trimming certain branches wouldn’t be sufficient. Their knowledge about trees is outstanding, especially when it comes to identifying what can harm them and how to best treat or remove them. I was particularly impressed by their free estimate, which wasn’t just a price quote but a full, detailed explanation of their plan and reasoning. When it came to the job itself, Semper Fi Tree Service completed the work quickly and efficiently, with a focus on both safety and quality. They even went above and beyond by partnering with the electric company to safely remove a tree that had grown around a power line, something I never would have expected from a tree service, but it just shows how dedicated and well-connected they are in their field. If you're looking for a trustworthy, professional tree service that knows their stuff and gets the job done right, I highly recommend Semper Fi Tree Service. They exceeded my expectations in every way!"

"Showed up on time and explained the process the whole way through. Juan and his team took down 2 mature and sick trees from my small yard and were careful not to damage the house, garage or other plantings. Great work! Recommending to my family and neighbors."

"Excellent. I started with Mike in 2018. I was desperately looking for a yard service that was reliable and knew what they were doing. I found Mike through his father's company which had done some landscaping for us. Right from the start Mike was very friendly while at the same displaying his competence and professionalism with his work on our yard. By the end of the first season my wife and I were very pleased with the marked improvement in our yard appearance. And, it continues to improve each season. Another thing that endears me to Mike's company is his willingness to do extra landscape projects during the year. When we are planning some of these projects Mike's suggestions have greatly helped to bring the project to a successful conclusion. And at the end of the season he will also clean out gutters. This really helps to prevent damaging ice buildup during thee winter. My wife and I, by all means, highly recommend Mike and his company."

"Mike and staff were very prompt, professional and precise. They were hired to install pavers in my backyard to compliment my deck and expand my out door living space. I met with Mike, explained my needs and he suggested pavers and worked with my budget. I am definitely pleased and will call them again for future landscaping needs."

FAQs for arboricultural service projects in Crete, IL

Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers. 

When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

On average, removing a tree costs around $750, but you can expect to pay between $200 to $2,000. Factors that impact the overall cost include the number of trees you’re having removed, their height, the diameter of their trunks, permits needed, and the tree’s accessibility. You’ll pay more if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or dangerous location, like close to power lines.

Landscaping costs around $3,500 but varies widely from $200 to $14,000. Factors that play a part in your final landscaping price tag include:

  • Location

  • Yard size

  • Project size

  • Materials

  • Land preparation

  • Type of landscaping

Considering so many factors, it’s not surprising that the overall costs can differ. A typical landscaping project is flower bed installation, which averages between $800 and $3,000. However, landscape lighting installation is a higher-end project, with a price tag of $2,000 to $6,000

Yes, you will want to confirm that the tree removal company you hire is insured before proceeding with the job. Tree removal can be dangerous work, and it's important to verify that the company carries the proper insurance to cover any onsite accidents or damage.
