Advanced Tree Care

Very fairly priced. Mike the arborist is very easy to work with before, during and after the job. We sought out competing tree care companies that charge more money. We are very happy with this company and we will use them again.

I had two dead Ash trees to remove (Victims of Emerald Ash Borer). Had been writing down the names of services working in the area for a few weeks, check all out on Unilocal,Got four quotes. The Advanced quote was almost the lowest, and it looked to me like they had better equipment and more professional approach. From beginning quote from Mike to finish they were on time did what they said, no excuses or hidden extras. Very Pleased.

Let me start by saying that the arborists did an exceptional job removing my giant ash tree located in my backyard basically boxed in by phone lines. Ever since I knew that the tree had to come down it was a huge burden on my back.
This was not an easy job, as im sure most of the arborist jobs arent easy and if the conditions arent just right can be potentially dangerous… Not just for the arborists but for neighbors and potentially for yourself. If its too windy the falling limbs are all of a sudden much harder to control, same thing for rain. So this must be taken into consideration when rescheduling. I too was annoyed by the fact that it was pushed back almost a month from the original date, but after everything was said and done I realized it was the only decision they could make without putting myself, my neighbors, and most of all the arborists at risk. So if there is a tree you need removed, plan ahead. Dont call and expect it to be taken down immediately, this is poor planning.
Anyways, I watched most of the tree come down (some parts i just couldnt bare to watch). And these guys really impressed me. They made it look easy, and I know that it was anything but. Like I metioned before this tree in particular was boxed in by wires allowing not much room for limbs to fall. But they somehow managed to barely even brush up against the wires. Really impressive work at a reasonable price. (the cheapest price I got from at least three different quotes)
Thanks for everything,
Charlie

Did a great job, despite a scheduling issue.
We recently bought our first home and had to have a few trees removed based on the home inspector’s findings. Advanced Tree Care provided the best quote for a large silver maple that was about 6 feet away from our house and also sat right up against our neighbor’s wood fence. On the scheduled day, I didn’t learn until 2pm in the afternoon that the work wouldn’t be done that day, and they wanted to reschedule for the following week.
As annoyed as I was, overall I’d let it slide because they did a wonderful job when they came out to the house. Given the size of the maple tree and the complexity of the work, a limb could have come crashing down on our roof (or our neighbor’s!) at any point. Our yard has many other large trees that will need maintenance down the road, and we would definitely use this company again.

Agreed to a price, asked for more money when came to do the work, on one of the trees did not do the work agreed on and paid for, would not email back to discuss, quote lower but get what you pay for, had to hire someone else to finish the job right

Advanced Tree Care was wonderful! They were the ONLY ones who immediately answered my emergency call. On a Friday afternoon my 50′ tree had a limb split. One half covering my yard and a 40′ branch on my roof! I placed an emergency call to two companies and no one called me back! On Sunday I called Advanced Tree Care — MIchael returned my call in five minutes and within two hours, Mike, the arborist, came by to check out was necessary for the job. The whole team was there by 8:00 am on Monday morning! They were professional and cleaned up afterwards — even sprayed a hornets next for me that they found on the roof in a vent! They were very affordable and I recommend them to everyone!
Thanks, guys!

Advanced Tree Care just removed 3 dead trees from my back yard last week, and ground out 4 stumps. They gave me a very fair rate, beating out their competitors I got quotes from as well.
They finished the job very fast and my yard was spotless afterwards. Next time I need help with my trees, they will be my first call.
PS. I like that everything was handled over email, the quote, schedule, and bill.

120′ plus Sycamore (45″+ diameter) in my backyard about 25 feet from where we sleep… After this summer of storms, wind, and mayhem, losing sevaral branches, broken window in my daughter’s bedroom, and gutters getting torn down, I have decided to make a move in the cause of safety for my family and my neighbors. I searched around for a tree removal company that had the skill to remove such a large tree, with no help of heavy equipment. Mike came over and gave me a very fair estimate for the removal of the tree and all debris, including stump grinding. I hired Advanced, and was amazed by the ingenuity and safety conscience minds at work 100ft+ up in the tree. They took the tree down piece by piece with no issues. Safety, and professionalism are keys in why I hired them. Good job Mike and crew, you definitely earned your money… Thanks

The quote we had was spot on and was respected, and the guys took down a few branches that were not even discussed. They were fast, professional, and friendly. They left the yard cleaner than they found it! So glad they were in the neighborhood and gave us a quote!

We had them come out recently to look at an old oak tree in our yard that has fungus growing out if it. We were worried we would hear it needs cutting down followed by an expensive estimate. We learned it will go at some point but it’s ok for now. Mike, who we spoke with, was honest, informative and very professional. It’s nice when you get an honest opinion and you don’t feel like they are out for your money. When we do need to take care of the tree we will definitely reach out to them again!

I recently had a ash tree in my front yard removed by them. A+ service. I used the quick estimate on their website and got a e-​mail with a quote that was better than 3 other companies I had called. I approved the proposal and they were out the following day to do the work. Very professional and knowledgeable. The are easy to get a hold of and will answer any ?‘s or concerns. I will for sure use them again!

The crew just left and not only are they a fun and polite group, but they did such a nice job. They cleaned up every twig in both my yard and the adjoining neighbor’s, roofs included. If a tree part landed hard and left a divot or equipment scarred the lawn, they worked diligently to put things back in order.
A disciplined and kind crew (some even helped a neighbor catch a run away dog!) can only mean good service from the top. This was the most reasonable quote we got, and I couldn’t be happier to pass their name on.

Top notch service and advice! Mike and his crew were great from the first email contact until clean up after the job. And our maple looks great. Would definitely recommend these guys without hesitation.

Highley Reccomended! This tree service did some work for me and saved me alot of money. I reccomended Mike to a few of my neighbors and friends already. Thanks Again for all the hard work… You did a great job on our trees!

Advanced Tree Care does indeed beat the competition with their prices.
I received 5 quotes and the highest was double what Advanced charged (plus the highest bidder wanted an extra $ 50 to call ComEd to take down our electricity for the day. Advanced worked around the wires so my husband was able to stay connected to work all day.)
Advanced removed an overgrown corkscrew-​type willow from our very tiny back yard on April 12. The friendly 3-​man crew did a good job on a dangerous tree. I’ve cut a few trees down (when I was younger/​crazier), so you can believe me when I say they know what they’re doing. The rope work was impressive.
Halfway through, additional staff arrived to help finish, which included removing and replacing a chain link fence to get the grinder into our yard through our neighbor’s yard. (FYI: The grinder was actually a bit wider than 36″ so it didn’t fit through our back gate.)
Mike made sure I was happy with the job before leaving.
It pays to read Unilocal reviews!

We recently had to have a tree removed and another one trimmed. Mike came out and we could tell right away versus the other folks who gave us estimates (four others) that he knew what he was talking about and that he was truly interested in helping us and improving the condition of other trees on our property. While we waited for the quote we prayed it would be one of the lowest but assumed it would be on the high side — alas — it was one of the lowest for the most work. So we went with Advanced Tree Care.
They took care of working with the village to get the permits and the crew came out and did a quick job and except for not knowing they were supposwed to leave some lumber for firewood and leaving a few foot sized holes in the yard (where the trunk had fallen) they did a great job. The ground down the stump about a foot and a half into the ground — way better than other jobs we’ve seen in the neighborhood.
If you have a tree trimming or removal need call them!
