We have a 3/4 acre garden of mostly trees (conifers & deciduous, a lot of Japanese maples, etc.)…read moreand shrubs, some perennials, almost no annuals. Over the years we've used several of the big name tree services. Some have been okay, but responsiveness has generally been only so-so. The one we had at the end of the previous year just sort of petered out. (The rep ended up leaving the company.) We checked online reviews for a new firm and found one that seemed worth giving a try, Progressive Tree Service based in Evanston. From the first visit of their rep (David Conrad) we were pretty sure we'd found the right company. After quickly getting us a very reasonably priced proposal for insect care and fertilization and another for some pruning, we signed up. A few days later a technician knocked on the door to let us know he was there to start insect care. A few days after that two showed up to do fertilization work. Then I started wondering when they planned to start the pruning. The day I thought to call them about it, they called me! That was a first. Usually I have had to call a company once (or twice or three times). We scheduled a mutually convenient time for them to come a few days later. Once again first there was a knock at the door (at the agreed upon time). It's been our experience that so many landscape related workers just show up and go to work without letting us know they've arrived. David was there with a crew and the first thing he asked was whether I cared to walk the property with him and his crew to make sure they were clear about what needed to be done. I even had a chance to ask for a few more small tasks to be handled. It was clear the crew chief and his men knew what they were doing. To top it off they were all pleasant to deal with. When they finished, did they just take off? No! They knocked on the door and asked us to walk around with them to be sure the work was satisfactory. (It certainly was!) That was another rarity in my experience. If it sounds as if I'm gushing, I am.

The crew was very careful taking down the tree to protect the lawn. They cut off the branches first and make the tree shorter before they bring down the whole tree. The damaged grass was carefully restored. The stump removal was also smooth. The ground was leveled. We had a great experience with the entire tree removal process.

Eric must've been having an asshole day!…read more I was eager to proceed with this company's services. After reaching out to schedule service via the provided number, 1 (847) 852-6001, I was assured that I would receive a call back by 2 p.m. I even took the initiative to text a copy of the contract for reference. However, I was left waiting until approximately 5 p.m. the following day to hear back, long past the promised time. Disappointed by the delay and lack of communication, I decided to engage another company, RGP Tree Service (https://www.chicagotreeremovalcompany.com), who promptly completed the job. Unfortunately, when I informed the individual, I had initially spoken with about my decision, his response was, "Why did I waste his damn time?!". He then abruptly ending the call. Despite my attempts to reach out afterward, I was met with his voicemail. Left with no alternative, I left a message expressing my disappointment at his unprofessional conduct. His subsequent text instructing me to stop calling only added to my disappointment. Rather than addressing the issue at hand, it only served to further highlight the lack of professionalism displayed throughout this interaction. In response, I matched his energy in my response text. My guess is that this guy must have been one of the owners or the owner. I do not believe an hourly employee would have the confidence to address a customer in the disrespectable fashion that he did.

Desta, the arborist, is incredibly knowledgeable and always provides a fair and reasonable estimate. I really appreciate the care she takes in assessing what needs to be done--she clearly knows her stuff. The crew that came out recently to trim shrubs, bushes, and trees, as well as remove a few, did outstanding work. They were efficient, respectful of the property, and left everything looking clean and well-maintained. Carlos, the site manager (I think that is his job title), was very receptive to listening to my requests and effectively communicating them to his team. I also want to mention that the woman who handled scheduling and spoke with me on the phone (sorry, I didn't get her name) was very professional and kind, making the whole process smooth from start to finish. Montoya Tree Service continues to be my go-to, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for expert, dependable tree care.
