We needed a very large tree removed. The location of the tree removal had the added challenge of not damaging our deck or the house during the process. The crew was on time and cleaned up after their work. We are very pleased with the entire process. read more

I didn't actually contract with them but they were quick to provide an honest estimate, which saved me from getting some unnecessary work done that would have cost thousands. read more

We were contacted quickly by the company to make things right. The bush was removed and cleaned up. Thank you.

What a rip off. I had them estimate a 30 ft dead ash tree in my backyard to be removed. Quoted me $2385.00. Then had another service give me an estimate the next day. $975 with the stump removed!! Maybe they thought they could rip me off because I have a power boat in the driveway-thinking I have money to waste. Ha jokes on you fools. Only reason I gave them two stars is because the CSR girl was polite. read more

They came and quoted last Friday. Seemed very reasonable at $160 to remove dead branch and have general pruning on large spruce in our front yard. Called office to accept proposal and girl told me they would come by sometime within next 4-6 weeks and would leave bill in mailbox. They came Monday morning, wow! So fast! Very impressed. read more

Great customer service, I had requested a quote through Yelp and Dawson was the first to respond and had me a quote the next day! The follow up and communication was excellent and very understanding of my needs. The quote was very reasonable so we decided to go with them. I was a little hesitant not being home when the work was done but apparently our to trust them since they provided great customer service was spot on for a change. They did such a great job you couldn't see any evidence they did all our work other than all the trees where perfect! Not one stick or piece of back on the ground anywhere! The yard was spotless! Great Job Dawson and I will be more than happy to recommend them to family and friends! read more

Dawson's Tree Service was great! Dawson's showed up when they said they would and impressed me with a printed quote on the spot for the work I wanted done. They agreed that if I hired them, they would inspect some damage to the tree and take one of two approaches to trim and remedy the situation. They even quoted me two different prices so I knew the cost depending on the outcome of the inspection. I quickly got on Dawson's schedule for tree trimming and they came on time and completed the inspection and trimming without fuss. Dawson's offered a very fair price, especially for the tricky job of a tall tree that had some damage and overhung my house. I'm pleased and will consider Dawson in the future for my needs. read more

Tree trimming - not really what a want to spend my money on but with 4 large silver maples close to our house and neighbors, it was time. $1400 to trim the 4 of them. I had several quotes from good companies and the price was similar/better than the others. As others have mentioned, the team showed up on time, worked hard, were gentle on my lawn, cleaned up meticulously, and even managed my neighbor's kid who came out to play foreman and direct "the guys" on what to do with the downed limbs. I've had a lot of work done on my house it is a such a blessing when skilled, professional people show up to do the work. I highly recommend this company. read more

Great firewood and timely delivery. Honest people with a quality product. I will be ordering firewood from them again. I recommend Dawson's Tree service highly! read more

We have two very large soft maple trees in our back yard very much in need of thinning and trimming (as we have lost some big branches in recent wind storms). These guys were very prompt on the estimate and just completed the work yesterday. Excellent service! They did the job quickly, cleaned everything up well, and really did a nice job of thinning out the branches and shaping these very large trees. Extremely professional at every point in the process - and very friendly as well! read more

Wow. The Dawson's crew was working on a neighbor's yard. We needed some work done (that had been ignored by previous hire) that was too minimal for it's own call.... so I talked to the crew and Steve (the owner?) made a special trip to our house to give us a quote on site that morning. The work was done within two hours. The crew was very friendly and professional. They were conscientious and did a great clean up job. It's hard to find good service that is thorough, fairly-priced, professional AND can clean up the mess. Dawson's did a fantastic job all around. We will be calling them for our future work. read more

I am so incredibly impressed with this company. Their price was less than another well known tree-trimmer, and their work was outstanding. My neighbors box elder trees were hanging over my backyard and garage, and I was nervous about the closeness to my house, garage and neighbors home. The owner did the highest tree trimming and when a branch nicked my screen window he removed it, apologized, and said he'd be back with it repaired. He was honest, polite, grateful for the work and respectful that I had a conference work call that I couldn't miss. All the debris was removed, patio furniture returned, and branches and leaves that landed on my roof were blown away. I cannot believe in this day and age such good old fashioned politeness and friendliness still exists. This is one amazing company! You cannot go wrong with this company, and it's fabulously kind owner. read more

Could not be happier! The service was professional throughout the entire process and the work was fantastic. I had received other quotes but by far the was the best match of service and value. read more

Top notch tree service company. I had 7 pines that needed to come down, two of which were very large and close to our home. They not only came in with the best price, but were also amazingly efficient and professional. They worked tirelessly until all of the trees were down (one day) and were extremely respectful of our belongings. I will be recommending them to my friends and family for their tree needs as well. read more

We returned from our vacation to find that a large tree had fallen onto our house. We contacted Dawsons Tree Service and they promptly came out to evaluate the situation and give us an estimate. We decided to go with them and they were able to schedule us within 24 hours. They strategized appropriately to minimize the damage to our home as much as possible. They also cleaned up the debris and replaced our patio furniture. They were very professional and did exceptional work on a complicated job. We would definitely recommend them!! read more

Used Dawsons to take down two huge oak trees. Didn't want to remove them but they were damaging my foundation. They quickly came out and provided an extremely competitive quote, remove the trees quickly, they had damaged my gutter by accident and 15 minutes after they left they had a gutter company at my house to fix it. Good people, good company, will certainly use again. read more

These guys don't mess around. After getting a very reasonable quote I accepted their proposal and they said they would be by in the next 4-6 weeks. We didn't even need to be home for them to do the work, which is ideal since my husband and I both work and we just moved and have taken LOTS of time off to be home with all the other service people and technicians. I actually was home when they did the work today and they took out 2 trees in about 20 minutes. They had everything removed and cleaned up before I even realized they were working on it. Everyone was very careful and professional. read more

What a great company! We received 3 quotes to have our 60 year old Sycamore tree removed from our corner lot. Not only was their quote very competitive, but it came in about $1000 less than we were planning to spend, and $1500 less than similar tree removal companies. John Dawson was great to work with. The process was very simple and professional from beginning to end. They started to work Saturday at 8 AM, and had the whole tree down and the stump ground by 10:30 AM. The crew was fantastic. We spoke with the crew leader, "Fonz", and had no issues with any of the 4 workers who were on our property. They had to remove a portion of our chain link fence in order to access the area, and when the re-installed it looked even better than it did before the came. Would "highly" recommend using their services. We have already started telling our friends and family to try them first before calling any other tree removal companies. read more

Dawsons Tree Service has serviced trees for us in Elmhurst and in Glen Ellyn, both times removing a pine tree. On both occasions, they were prompt, clean, and the quote they gave us was what we paid (and was extremely competitive). They were even able to move up the date of our tree removal, due to the installation of a fence the next day. If we ever have any other tree removal needs, Dawsons will be our first call. read more

EXCELLENT company! Highly recommend these guys. They have the expertise to see what needs to be trimmed off. Very polite, friendly...GREAT clean up! The estimate was given and follow up was spot on. Price was competitive. So glad i hired them. I will definitely call them again. read more

Dawson Tree Service is about the easiest company I have ever had to work with. After I called the office to request a quote, I had someone out the next day to evaluate an apple tree in our backyard (the tree is beautiful, but I was sick of picking up apples for an hour every week before I could even mow the lawn). Their pricing was great, and I was told they had a three-week backlog (not hard to believe, as good as the work they do is). I got a call within a few days to say they had an opening come available, and I jumped on it. When the crew arrived, they got right to work and started cutting up the tree and removing large branches quickly and efficiently. The whole process took under an hour, as they ground the stump and even raked up all the apples that had fallen (easily over a hundred pounds' worth). Apparently, John usually comes by the location after the job is done to collect payment, but he had gotten delayed. He called me to arrange payment, took my credit card over the phone, and that was that. Easy to deal with, courteous crewmembers, and efficient removal. Couldn't have asked for more! read more

Dawson's Tree Service was very responsive to our initial inquiry and came out within two days to provide an estimate. The estimate was provided in writing at the time of survey and done in a professional manner. The cost was extremely competitive (other estimates did not even come close to how low this was). Within a week Dawson's arrived and had removed the trees and debris. There were no hidden fees or agendas; just quick, fast, good service. We will use this vendor again in the future (we have a ton of trees) and highly recommend them! read more

Fantastic!!! We had a large silver maple that needed a good haircut. Lots of suckers and dead branches that were very high up. We also had several branches extending over our garage and parked cars and also electric lines to our home. When the gentleman came out he was very professional, friendly, gave advice to the health of this tree and also another tree which we were concerned about. His quote was for $650. We had two quotes of a $1,000 and one $2,000. I wondered how much they would remove for the $650. But the came highly recommended. It was a fantastic job. The tree looks great, took everything and more. They did bring a bucket and removed every branch that was overhanging the electric lines and garage. They worked quickly, efficiently, they asked a question about a few branches and my wife said I would really want those branches taken down, no questions, bam, done. They raked the yard and it looked cleaner than when they arrived. Less than two hours done. This was not a little job as this tree is over 60 feet tall. A friend of mine, who does landscaping, said it looked fantastic as well. Five stars baby. Great job. Highly recommended!!!! read more

John and his team are as good as it gets. We had a very complicated tree removal done in our back yard. Sadly our 150 to 250 year old Elm tree was infected with Dutch Elm Disease. This was no normal Elm tree - based on the 6 quotes we received, everyone said this was probably the biggest Elm tree in all of Du Page County and certainly the largest in Elmhurst (the diameter of the tree was in excess of 70 inches). John was incredibly responsive from the initial phone call to the final removal. He and his team were complete pros and performed the incredibly complicated project with extreme care. While sad to lose the tree, we could not have been more happy with the service that Dawson's provided. I would highly recommend them! read more

I needed three trees removed from my property due to overcrowding with other trees and hanging branches over my neighbor's property. The day after I called Dawsons Tree Service Steve called me back and arranged to come out to my house. He arrived within the hour. The estimate was very reasonable. Steve called me back about a week later and told me he had an opening in the schedule the next day which was a week earlier than promised! The crew came out and completed the job quickly and professionally which was difficult due to branches over my neighbors property. The job site was left in an immaculate condition. Except for the missing trees I would not have known they were here. I had called Dawsons previously for tree trimming and my experience that time was the same. Great job! I wouldn't consider any other tree service now that I've experienced working with Dawsons. read more

40 ft pine, 32 minutes....done! Literally that quick, these guys are awesome. Reasonable fee, quick, efficient, safe, what more can you ask for? Arrived early for the job and removed the tree, ground the stump, and cleaned up every trace of the work. My husband was surprised when he came home later that day and there was no clean up needed. Excellent!!! read more

Excellent service! I had a somewhat tricky situation where our tree was overhanging the neighbor's roof. Dawsons handled it no problem. They trimmed it back to the property line with no damage to the neighbor's house. Response time was fast. Communication was great. Price was reasonable. Couldn't ask for more. read more

Great company and great service. They were very prompt with the quote and the work. They quoted me almost half of what 3 other companies were charging for the same work. Would definitely recommend and would use again. read more

From start to finish we had a great experience using Dawsons. The gal on the phone was extremely friendly, someone came out for a quote within a couple of days time, the price was very reasonable, and the team on site was very accommodating, fast, and cleaned everything so one would not know I had two trees removed. I will recommend Dawsons to friends and family and will use them again if needed. read more

I called last Wednesday about getting an estimate to have a tree removed form my back yard. Was told I'd get an estimate in a week. Steve came out a few days later and gave me the best quote I got - By Far! His crew came out and was extremely professional. Colton and his guys made sure everything was done perfectly and left the area spotless. These guys are great! read more

What a wonderful experience. I called and told them what we needed. They left a proposal on my door within a day or two. I called with questions, which were cheerfully answered. I signed and mailed the proposal back to them and within 3 days the tree was gone. Our huge tree was down, ground up, yard cleaned up in about 3o minutes! Beautiful, clean equipment and nice crew. I thought the price was very reasonable and was so relieved that my husband gave up the idea of doing it ourselves because of it. I wish all companies were such a pleasure to work with. read more

We needed to have some arborvitaes removed. This was one of the 3 companies that responded. The quote received was about 1/3 less than the other 2 companies. We were a bit leery about going with this firm because of the large price difference, but the reviews seemed good. The emails and conversations with people at this company were pleasant and productive so we chose them. A few weeks later, I get a phone call, they are ready to come out, and I say great. The next day, the guys come out, take down the trees, do some stump grinding and clean up. A section of fence needed removing to get the stump grinder into the backyard. I expected that I would have to do this, but they removed it for me, then put it back when done. Everyone I spoke to was polite and helpful. Again, the price was great and so were the crew. We would definitely contact this company again for tree work ... but we are out of trees right now. read more
