The work they did was good. They need work on their customer communications and scheduling. After I signed the proposal and sent them the down payment, I didn't hear from them again until the morning they showed up to do the work. I didn't even know they were there until I heard something on my roof. I would have liked to know the schedule ahead of time. The men who showed up really appeared to know what they were doing and seemed to do a good job.

They are terrific. Great office support staff and we received quote right away. Price was very competitive. Also, the landscaper who originally removed the old tree (not Trees R Us) did not do a good job removing the old roots. Trees R Us did what they needed to do to dig deep enough for the health of the new tree. It took much longer to install than anticipated, but they did not charge more than quoted and took the time to do it right. When tree was installed in late Fall, the arborist advised us to water it a lot and we did. This has been a wet Spring in Chicago and we thought that our River Birch was getting much water. In late May it started to look distressed. We called Trees R Us and the arborist Tim came out immediately. He advised us that the tree wasn't getting enough water. He told us what to do and reminded us that the tree was guaranteed, so if we couldn't save it, it would be replaced. We used a deep water stick and watered daily and our river Birch is now doing great! Tim at Trees R Us was so very responsive and helpful! They know their business, are customer-driven and stand by their work. In our opinion, that is an A+ company that will get our return business many times over and recommend to others. They are wonderful to work with! Mr. and Mrs. B in Mt. Prospect, Il.

Tom was great. He came out for an estimate the day I called. He called me to tell me he was on his way even though this was a vacant lot. He sent me a written estimate. He called me when the work was done. He cut up the wood and placed it on my neighbors lot per her request and my approval. He cleaned up all the debris. I went to check the lot after he was done and you wouldn't know that he had even been there. Very happy with the service and will be using them again.

Fantastic service. They showed up on time, did the work exactly as described and left no sign they had ever been there. The price was great as well.

On a record-warm January evening a willow tree fell on our property and crushed two vehicles and damaged the roof. There was even a tree limb poking through the upstairs closet ceiling! The next morning I called Trees R Us and requested emergency service. Within 30 minutes we had a cost estimate, 30 minutes later a crew was there with a huge truck with a giant claw and 45 minutes later the job was done. Now that's what i call emergency service!

I had a tree that was growing over the roof of my house and called around for a few estimates. Trees R Us was the cheapest and I hired them to remove the tree. When they came out for the estimate, they confirmed that one of my pine trees was dead and two others had a fungus infection. We agreed to have them remove one of the Pines ($200) and treat the other two ($180) in addition to removing the Locust tree ($1300).
They arrived on time and completed the job in less than one day. My only complaint is that we had a misunderstanding about the removal of the stump grindings from the Locust tree. I thought they would be removed but was surprised to see they weren't removed. After reading the fine print in the estimate again, I did see that they wouldn't haul them away. I thought the should be something they verbally tell you. Other than that, they were professional and completed the job they were hired to complete.

Trees R Us was one of about 3 estimates we received to remove a large tree and a bunch of bushes (inc grinding out the stumps of the bushes). They were middle of the road with price, but their estimate was one of the most professional (one that we got was just a total left amount on VM, not broken down by the job at all). I only have 2 complaints: 1) They don't tell you when they are coming. I understand that a lot of this type of work is extremely dependent on weather, but I would think they would know what jobs they are tentatively planning to do the next day. A quick call to let you know you are next on the list would be nice. 2) They removed the tree but then left the large trunk segments by the driveway (all the branches/leaves were gone). We weren't sure if they were left for our recycling to take or if they were planning to come back for them (we called and they were planning to come back in a couple of days, which they did). However, some sort of note that said they would be back within and quot;Xand quot; number of days would have been helpful.
This was not an easy job: the tree was very close to the house and the bushes were close to utilities and required a fine hand. I appreciated the good job that they did, I just would have like a bit more communication along the way.

They were reasonably priced and they told me how they were going to take the tree down without taking down the power line at the same time. They were on time, and kept to their quote.

The whole removal, take-down and clean-up went very well.
