"10/10. Incredible quality and turnaround time. Michael from AAA Arborist came for an estimate the same day of contact and got the job done the next morning. We just moved to a new home and discovered an undisclosed squirrel next in our attic. Pest control identified the trees as the main thoroughfare of the squirrels. Michael recognized our emergency and took immediate action. There's a different tree company well reviewed in Angie's List that I wasted 2 weeks on prior and would avoid. I called Rivera 3-5 times. left VMs. Spoke w/ admin. They didn't provide me with the estimate as promised, until i followed up 1-2 times. Then when it finally came to schedule, they were a week out. I was never given an opportunity to speak with the estimator. If you're like me and looking up a tree trimmer on Angie's list, just call AAA Arborist 1st."

"I am extremely happy for the tree services I got from Illinois Tree Services. I got quote from John two weeks before the services were rendered. On July 29th, I called them in the morning to see if these guys can schedule the tree cutting this week. After explaining the details to Matt, he agreed to come to cut the trees. Initially, I had a plan to cut one giant Pine tree and two juniper trees but looking at their attention to details, I decided to cut all the unwanted trees and shrubs surrounding my house.
Matt was very flexible and considerate of the prices. He also ground the stumps of the trees which I had cut sometime ago but could not grind the stumps.
The crew was very friendly, quick, careful and responsible. I will definitely hire them again for tree cutting in my back yard of the house.
They did awesome job and I have already referred these guys to my neighbors.

"Nick and his team were amazing. Not only did they cut the tree but removed the wood, fixed my fence and even raked the excess leaves… they were complete professionals and I will use them in the future for all tree trimming needs!"

"The guys got here on time and took care of the work. They took down my tree piece by piece till it was gone and then hauled it all away. They even through in trimming my bushes for free. Their Bob Cat left some tracks in the yard and they came back and fixed it. Raked and reseeded it. I would highly recommend their business for my neighbors and friends. They did a great job."

"Was not certain about finding the right arborist until my colleague directed me to Steve & Precision TreeWorks. The customer care, work done, pricing, you name it exceeded expectations. Do not hesitate to hire Steve to care for your trees. Highly recommend."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Some trees will bounce back just fine, and others will struggle and possibly die. Evergreens, for instance, have a very difficult time recovering after droughts and usually die after periods of extreme dryness. Usually, you’ll have to just wait and see—if the drought occurs in wintertime, it’s possible that your tree will recover during the gentler springtime.

Make sure the tree roots soak around a day before you dig the tree up for the transplant. Keep the roots wet while the tree is above ground. After the transplant is finished, provide consistent water every day for the first month or so. You don’t want to overwater the tree, but you do want to keep the roots wet so they can thrive in their new environment.

Yes, burning wood with Dutch elm disease is a safer way to dispose of it than, say, tossing it in with the rest of your yard waste, which could potentially allow it to spread to healthy trees. But it’s always a good idea to check with your local government to make sure you’re complying with any ordinances about removing diseased trees as well as burning brush piles.

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.
