I've been using Montoya Tree Service for almost 10 years, and they've consistently delivered excellent service. 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. read more

"I recently took down a small tree in front of my house. Digging out the stump turned out to be a little too much for me, especially in 100° weather, so I decided to ask for quotes to have it ground out. I received three quotes ranging from $150 to $300; the $300 quote came from Manitoya Tree Service. I decided to hire them because timing was important to me, and they offered to perform the service within two days. They showed up on time, and ten minutes later, the small stump was gone. The person performing the service was very friendly, and up to this point, it was five-star service. The disappointment occurred when I learned that I would be charged a credit card fee, especially since I was already paying the highest quote. My daughter runs a tiny business compared to Manitoya Tree Service, and she never charges her customers credit card fees. For that reason, I am giving them three stars, and I will not recommend this company to my friends and family. In my opinion, every business should structure their prices to avoid nickel-and-diming customers, especially when customer satisfaction is on the line. read more

Used them to remove trees in my backyard and had a great experience both times they came out. read more

Montoya Tree Service - After the 4 diseased trees were removed. - Tree Services Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

A great local company that impressed me all around, from the communication and customer service to the value offered. The request for the quote was answered within hours and I had a trained arborist evaluating the situation the very same day! Despite a relatively small scope the company was willing and able to fit me in their busy schedule. Cannot recommend them more! read more

I had 8 trees pruned and cleaned up of dead branches. the crew and Raphel were so nice. cleanup was thorough. highly recommend them.

I used Montoya Tree Service 2 1/2 months ago to cut down 3 dead blue spruce. Anthony came out gave me a fair written estimate the same day. Scheduling was easy and the work was done cleanly. I WAS extremely happy. I came back to Montoya 3 weeks ago to help us manage a Honey Locust whose roots are causing my driveway to buckle. Desta came out to give us an estimate and we have had an extremely frustrating and disappointing experience. She gave us a verbal quote while she was on our property. Then 4 days later she sent us a written estimate that was more than double what she originally quoted us. When I asked for an explanation, she came back to us 3 days later indicating she did not account for the clean up of debris. What?? We were clear when she was at our property, we were having the driveway completely redone due to the root damage. Why would you not include clean up for a job like that? What are we going to do with the tree debris? How is the asphalt company going to be able to complete their work with tree debris in the way? I sent a message to Desta and have called the office multiple times and no one has returned my call to provide an explanation. It truly is unfortunate that they treated a returning customer this way. We have quite a few tree projects around the house, which they will now no longer get the chance to bid on because of the horrendous service we have experienced. read more

Professional, easy to communicate with, flexible, responsive. Montoya removed a callery pear that was diseased and right next to our house. Excellent pricing - far more affordable than the big corporate company we also got a quote from. Very happy with the whole job. read more

I have a no soliciting sign on my door as we work from home and need quiet. When you hire this company they come and solicit all your neighbors. I told the employee who knocked, that his action of knocking despite the no soliciting sign is trespassing and he called me a "dumbass". He then came back hours later to knock again, I have to assume to harass me. Know that hiring this company is choosing to have them treat your neighbors this way. read more

Very professional. The arborist seemed to know what he was doing. Cleaned up well after. Not the cheapest.

Desta and her crew have been to our house twice in the past few years to trim and maintain the bushes and trees in our yard. She is professional, thoughtful, and detail-oriented, and she clearly knows what she is doing. It can be a little unnerving to give your whole yard a "haircut", but it's much easier to appreciate the results when you know the person who is in charge has everything under control. The crew, too, did a great job - they paid careful attention to her directions, worked efficiently, and cleaned everything up beautifully at the end. We are so pleased with the results and know we will call on Montoya again the next time we're due for a trim. Thanks, Desta and crew! read more

Came out for estimate to trim several trees. Didn't take any notes. Asked how he's going to remember everything--said he'd remember. Then left without providing estimate--said he had another appointment and would provide next day or so. Never did. What a waste of my time. read more

Worst service 10 days after they were called, did not return calls Refused the work Find someone else read more

Non-responsive. Our first voicemail was never answered. The second voicemail was returned and I was told the arborist would come that day to address my issue and that the phone person would text me when he was on the way. He never came and she never texted. My next call was not answered and the message I left asking if the arborist was going to come went unanswered. Terrible service. read more

very responsive, helpful and great service for tree trimming. Seems like fair pricing as they keep the work areas clean, and leave it clean. They are very professional, and friendly. read more

Beyond fantastic. We had three very very large trees removed from our property and they were amazing. The price was incredible, the workers were talented, clean, and efficient. Their arborist, Desta, was wonderful during the assessment. Definitely used Montoya if you have tree needs. read more

If there were 10 stars, I'd give them that. We had a large tree limb come down on power lines in the back yard on a Friday night. We called several tree companies. Francisco stopped by that night and explained the tree was in poor health overall and needed to come down, which we had kind of figured. He said he could maybe come on Saturday, if not early the following week. To our surprise, he did come out on Saturday.. relieving our stress so much! His team was efficient and extremely careful not to damage our property as the tree was up against the house too. Also, Francisco owns the company but was out there working hands on with his team, mad respect! He will be our go to for any tree issues. read more

Did a great job removing a tree and trimming a bunch of others. They were professional, on time, and well priced. I had been let down by another place but they were absolutely great. read more

I never received a response from this company after I supplied them with the address and information that they requested.

VERY large tree removed, as well as some smaller ones. Great job! They also have done my snow removal for years, and I'm very pleased with that service as well. read more

I have used Montoya tree service for many years. I have always been very satisfied with their work. They provide excellent work at a reasonable price. I have recommended Montoya Tree Service to many friends and relatives. All have been satisfied. read more

These guys are PHENOMENAL! Extremely thorough, timely, professional, great to work with, and well-priced. We had a lot of trees that needed removal or trimming, a lot of misc. bushes/hedges that needed pruning to restore healthy growth, and a lot of misc. large plants that needed to be cleared out. They did it all and were super helpful and flexible along the way. Fantastic work - will definitely be using again and referring widely. Also very happy to support this local family-owned business. read more

Fantastic service and beautiful work. Our tree looks amazing. The crew was friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend. They were on time for both the consultation and the work. read more

All-around solid experience using this outfit to trim some pretty good-sized tree limbs hanging over my deck. Very professional, reasonable pricing, friendly and hard-working crew and thorough clean-up. I would call them again. read more

Had a dead crabapple tree. Called Montoya and they stopped by and gave me a very reasonable estimate to remove and grind out the stump. Originally thought it would be 3 weeks which was fine but got a call the next week. Juan came out and took care of the tree, stump and cleaned up the sight. Highly recommend read more

DO NOT USE THEM. COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE AND UNPROFESSIONAL. We signed a contract with Montoya to do our snow plowing this year. The first big snow we had last week, they failed to to show up. My wife texted them, and they apologized and said we we were somehow left off their list, and couldn't come out until the next day, which they did. They didn't charge us for the plow, but I would rather have had it done timely, and pay for it. We had a lot of snow on late Friday the 18th, into Saturday morning the 19th, and my wife texted them at 10 am Saturday to make sure they would not again forget to plow us. We waited all day Saturday, and sent them another text, and left two voice messages, and they still failed to show up or return a call. By Sunday morning, it was obvious they weren't coming, so I cleared the driveway myself. I have no idea how a small business can treat its customers this way. I'd avoid them at all costs. read more

I had a very old large tree fall on my property that caused quite a bit of damage. Ralph, Kim, Salvador and his crew were, to put it simply, wonderful. From first inspection to tree removal everyone was fast, efficient, kind, careful, and left almost no footprint. The experience of this tree falling was very traumatizing and Montoya Tree Service has me feeling more at home than I have since this all began. I cannot recommend them enough. read more

Montoya Tree Service - Before and after. - Tree Services Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

See all

I have 11 different trees on my property and some of them needed pruning. There are also a few that I needed help identifying. I contacted Montoya and two other tree services. Montoya was the first to respond and first to come on site. The certified arborist patiently identified the trees on my property, explained what their preferred living conditions are, assessed their health, and recommended how to maintain them. The most important part was, he listened and used my opinions/requirements as input whereas the arborists from the two other tree servers were both just prescriptive without listening. It turns out that between the three quotes, Montoya's was the mid priced entry. But given the trust built by the arborist, I selected Montoya. On the day of the service, the crew arrived on time, was very courteous, efficient, and careful. They were very careful about protecting my patio furniture and even my neighbor's before and during the work. And after everything was done, they did a really job cleaning up. I could not tell they were here at all. I recommend Montoya to anyone who needs their trees taken care of! read more

I contracted with Montoya to trim several trees last summer after reading all of the positive reviews on Yelp. They trimmed a redbud, and did an OK job. Basically there was no thought put into it, just shorter branches - like a bad haircut. The real problem was with the honey locust. I purchased that tree specifically because it had a long, arching branch that went over a phone wire and covered the view of the alley and neighbor's garage. I nursed it and trimmed it myself for several years until it got too big for me to trim. I got a quote from Montoya, and made sure to verbally AND in writing on the contract that that arching branch was NOT to be touched. They came out as planned (yes very nice and prompt and decent pricing) and cut off that branch. When I came home I couldn't believe my eyes - the tree looks like a palm tree now, and all the planning, time, money, and care I put into that tree is ruined. I immediately called them, and they apologized profusely, took responsibility, and came out to talk about it. THey didn't charge me, but honestly, I would pay anything to reverse the damage they did. I've spent 20 years thoughtfully planning my garden, and now everytime I go in my backyard I cringe. If you don't care about the esthetic quality of your trees and just want them trimmed (again, cheap, bad haircut analogy), then call Montoya - they were nice and prompt. If you need careful, thoughtful trimming of your trees, call someone else! read more

We used Montoya Tree service to have two trees removed, a huge maple tree pruned, and two smaller trees pruned. Javier and his crew did an awesome job for us. We are very happy with how the trees look, the speed at which they got the work done, and the fact that they cleaned everything up so well. When they left, we had trees that looked great. We highly recommend Montoya Tree service and will use them again whenever we need our trees pruned. read more

They took down a tree between our two houses quickly cleanly and professionally. I highly recommend their service.

I woke up on Christmas Eve with a tree down in my front yard. First estimate was $300 with a possible extra $50 for the stump removal. The next estimate was $280 with an additional $60 for the stump....these were estimated based off my photos. Ralph came out from Montoya and said he can do it all for $185! I said "Great, when can we have this done?" He said he had a chainsaw in his truck and he'd do it right now. I called Ralph at 8 and by 10:30 the tree was in a neat pile on the parkway. He promised someone would be out Saturday to haul away the pile or for me to let him know. Well sure enough, in the rain on Saturday, a truck with a wood-chipper was there and when I asked to keep the trunk for firewood, the guy went into his truck and got his chainsaw and chopped it up for me! I cannot recommend these guys enough and I know we will have them back this summer to remove some Emerald Ash Trees. read more

Outstanding! We obtained four quotes for branch trimming and a tree removal. Montoya was the least expensive and also able to do the job in the shortest amount of time. I was particularly impressed with Ralph (the gentleman who provided the quote) with his extensive experience as a certified arborist. In fact, of all four companies, Ralph with Montoya was the only one able to identify what was wrong with our dying pine tree (a specific insect) and provide additional information about the problem. The day after the quote, a team of workers came to complete the job. They were extremely professional and efficient. At the end of the job, they cleaned up all of the branches, leaves and sawdust from cutting. GIven Montoya's excellent price quote, timeliness, and professional work, I would highly recommend Montoya in the future. read more

I chose Montoya Tree Service, after getting four proposals and meeting with different companies. I can tell you this , Montoya gave me the best deal . They did a great job. Couple of plants were broken in process which is predictable with the amount of work it was needed. The nicest thing is that, they wanted to replace the plants ! This is a company that knows what it means if you are called Service. I will use them again, if we need to. read more

I have used Montoya Tree Service for a large tree removal and to plant 3 new trees and multiple shrubs. They've been very professional, responsive and fairly priced. I highly recommend them. read more

I had Montoya Tree Service trim two of my neighbor's trees that were hanging over my house and garage. Using their bucket truck they trimmed the trees back to the property line. The crew was professional and efficient, and they cleaned up after their work. And they were very reasonably priced! read more

They did a very good job removing a birch tree in front of my house. I found them on Yelp and checked the Yelp reviews and BBB. They were prompt responding to my inquiry via Yelp (you need to check the Yelp messages if you don't have Yelp notification on). Removing the stump means grinding it only (a couple days later). Removal of the chips is a separate charge. They were professional and courteous both the people that came to complete the job and also their office/ phone person. They come to see the tree before giving you an estimate. Ours was 520 ( without chips removal). read more

We had Montoya take down two very, very large trees on our property. Montoya definitely has the right people and heavy equipment for tree removal. These guys were real pros. And their pricing was reasonable. compared to other quotes we got. We would use them again with no hesitation. read more

One of my trees required significant pruning. This company got the job done - they were easy to communicate with (yelp messages + email), fast to reply. My project wasn't too complex for someone who does this sort of thing for a living but they did the job well and we liked the results. They lost a star on being 50 minutes late without proactively letting me know about it. I understand things sometimes happen but in today's day and age of GPS, google maps directions, real time traffic updates and cell phones, this was inexcusable. read more
