County Tree Service

County Tree Service has saved the day for us. We our having our entire backyard sodded and County came out late last night to grind up roots from a few trees that were previously built up in flower beds or the pond area. Brian had his guys come out after 5:00pm (when I called him at 8:30am that morning) to come complete the job. They worked until roughly 8:30 to make sure they got everything up for us, including fixing the screw up of another tree service (I will get into that in another review). I will continue to recommend County Tree Service to all my friends, family and even strangers. Great work guys!!!

They did a great job at a great price and they were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend to everyone for tree removal service

I want to share my experience I had with County Tree Service. First I need to share my tree story.
I came home the Tuesday after Memorial Day to find my neighbor’s dead tree laying in my back yard.
After several attempts to enlist friends and handy people no one wanted to tackle this job, so Sunday went on line to Unilocal,sent out several request and County was the first to respond. He was 20 minutes away. He came gave his best quote, also said they could do the job today. I said great!
They cut, ground and hauled everything away. They also raked the lawn of all debris.
I highly recommend them if ever you need tree service.
Mr. Warner

I called regarding a very expensive drone I got stuck in a tree. Brian and another worker came out right away. I had a hard time finding someone with it being Memorial Day weekend but Brian was out right away and got my drone down no issues. I would highly recommend !

We’ve had some recent dealings with a fence builder that have not been simple and hassle-​free (came out on fence tear down /​install day and realized we needed to remove a tree on the property line first — why didn’t the fence sales person catch that!!!), so we were leery about what our experience would be like with a tree service. We needed a very tall tree removed from our back yard and limbs of a neighbor’s tree that overhangs our property trimmed. The tree to be removed is in a very tight spot, right up against the fence (which will be removed shortly when the fence builder does his work). County Tree Service did an exceptional job for us, and the experience has been nothing but pleasant and easy, from getting the estimate to the end of the job. I could go on and on, but will make a short list of what they did exceptionally well — though really the whole process was handled exceptionally well by them. I’ll post some photos in the near future. We can recommend County Tree Service wholeheartedly.
— Arrived on time
— Cost was on par with other estimates we received
— Everyone from the owner, foreman and workers was pleasant to deal with
— They took down parts of our fence required to get the work done and replaced them when done (other companies told us they’d have to destroy the fence in the process)
— Stump/​root grinding was so thorough you can’t tell there was a 40-​foot tall tree there at the beginning of the day. Amazing.
— Totally thorough cleanup afterwards.
— They replanted and watered some plants they needed to dig up to complete the work!!! WOW.
Again, we can’t recommend them more highly.

I called them and after 5 estimates they were the best price. All I can say is with all things considered that needed to be done, they completed. I’m happy with the results thus far and this crew is definitely recommended. I love that they did my removal in only 1 day. Everyone else was telling me 2 – 4 days to remove it, but it took 1 day with this crew.

Spruce problems… Better Call Brian!!!
These guys are the best — honest, fast, courteous, professional, no mess, and great prices — plus these guys seem like they really enjoy what they are doing… pretty sure a heard a «timber» when the top of my spruce came down — great crew!

Such a great company. Had a response from Brian within 5 minutes of sending an email and he was at my home within 30 mins after that for an estimate after 7pm. Quoted an extremely fair price and set up a date to remove a tree. They were able to come and remove a 2 story willow tree 5 days earlier than expected which worked out perfect. Extremely hard working crew worked straight though until the tree and stump was completely gone. They took extra measures to make sure they did not damage my lawn or anything else with their equipment. Everything was cleaned at the end that you wouldn’t even know they were there. Have already recommend them to friends. You cannot go wrong with this company!

We live in CA but own a home in Palos Park. Last time in town, a few weeks ago, we saw that a large oak was damaged and in danger of falling on our party house in the yard. Planned to deal with it, but put it off knowing that the work would be pricey. Received a text on Friday afternoon saying that it was getting worse and we may want to get on it. Got onto Unilocal and called County based on reviews. Brian called me back in the time it took to compose an email, said he would be onsite in 15 minutes and call me with quote. While his quote was certainly a shocker he suggested that I get other quotes but offered me advice and suggested this work be done asap as major damage was imminent. After calling my husband we decided that Brian definitely knew what he was talking about and County was right for the job. They had the necessary insurance as well as knowledge for this VERY challenging removal in which lesser experienced arborists could have suffered injuries. They arrived at 8am on Saturday morning with 2 climbers and 8 men on the ground and took care of the problem. They bound the tree to mitigate the cracking and braced it to prevent it falling on the structure as they did their work. We were told that the tree was completely hollow 15 feet up and a family of raccoons was removed and relocated as well. Will definitely be calling them for all of our tree work going forward, we have a densely wooded lot and I would have no hesitation to call them again. Thanks guys, nice job!!!

They were reasonable on their costs, professional and on time. I had a huge tree cut down and they were amazing. Got it done quickly, efficiency and professionally. They took all the wood and debris with them. I highly recommend Eric.

They removed a very large pine tree, that has been growing for over 60 years in less than 2 hours. They left the front yard in a much cleaner, neater shape that it had been in before. I highly recommend their services. Thanks Brian and crew!

I can’t comment on how their service is but they gave me a quote of $ 750 to trim a honey locust tree and every other company quoted me between $ 350 – 400. They appeared to be very overpriced.

These guys are good. Real good. We had a huge evergreen blow down in the March 16^th windstorm. I called County Tree Service; Brian was at the house within 45 minutes and gave a reasonable estimate. Said he could have his crew back to do the work tomorrow. Agreed. But that evening they were at the house ready to do the job. They had the tree removed and all debris cleaned up in less than 2 hours, finishing up as darkness fell. Came back on Sunday to grind a stump from a second tree we had them remove in the back yard. They remove ALL debris so stump area is flush with the lawn. 5 legitimate stars.

I would recommend County Tree Services to all my friends. They are very professional and they do a great job. I called for an estimate and they showed up at my house the same day. I was very pleased with how they cut my rotten tree, and cleaned everything up after themselves.
I am definitely calling them again in a few weeks.

I was getting ready to use county tree service to have a large tree removed from my front yard. Over the past few weeks I’ve seen trucks from Sterling tree service. They had nice new trucks and when they did my neighbors tree, they seemed to do a nice job. I decided to call and see how much more expensive they were compared to county. They came out and gave their quote. It wasn’t as high as I was expecting. Next I called county to whom I’ve been a loyal customer and have given great reviews. They came out this time and never rang the door bell to talk to me. They only left a quote in the mailbox for me to discover. To my surprise… the quote from county was a few bucks shy of double what sterling quoted!!! I’m note sure if there is new ownership here or what may have happened, but I’m not satisfied with the treatment I received as a dedicated customer and the prices are no longer competitive. It’s too bad that a good company has gone south. Oh well it’s a lesson for me to always get more than one quote even if it’s a company you’ve used and trusted before. I hope county tree service takes note, and goes back to being the company they were before.

Wow, what an amazing experience. These guys are great. A large old tree right by the house had a long deep crack on the base of the trunk. Suddenly noticed it on a late Sunday afternoon and it looked it it could fall at any moment. Called County Tree service and in less than 30 minutes they were at my house and taking down the tree. Turned out the tree was rotted and would have fallen at any moment and would crushed the house so I am glad I called and they came right out. Fair price and at the end of the day on a Sunday. If you need a tree service, this is the company to call!

County Tree Service is the best tree service in Northern Illinois, period! My wife and I have used them for tree removal and it was probably one of the best home contracting services that we have ever experienced.
They are honest, their prices are fair and they provide excellent service. In addition, they are very friendly and nice people.
After they are finished with the job, they clean up the site and remove all debris.
If you are looking for a tree service, look no further, there really is no better choice than County Tree Service. When you have struck oil, quit drilling!
Call Brian today, I assure you that you will be very satisfied.

From start to finish these guys are the best! I called and within an hour I had Brian at my door with an estimate and a fair price at that. He told me they were working close by and could do the job within 30 minutes. Sure enough like clock work the guys were here cutting my tree branches and they were quite enormous. Brian was courteous and professional and wasted no time cutting the tree branches over my roof. Plus the group cleaned up the yard perfectly. Took them less than an hour and saved me and my family from more squirrel problems. Thank you guys! I will be calling you in March for 2 smaller trees in my backyard. I highly recommend this company!

Excellent job & price! The clean up exceeded my expectations! I had a 25 ft blue spruce removed from my front yard/​walkway. The crew was on time and carefully removed the tree. By the time they finished you wouldn’t have known there used to be a huge tree there. Will definitely use again!

Great work, Job well done! I had 6 willow trees that needed to be removed, County Tree estimator Paul seemed honest, and price was fair, and they had a great rating so we decided to go with them. They showed up with a 7-​man crew and three trucks. Their crew was professional and courteous. Greg who was the crew leader kept us informed of the whole process, even when there was a miscommunication between estimator and us, he smoothed things out. about 1 week later the job was complete. I am very happy with the work and service (and I am very picky, btw) Thank County Tree Service. **special Thanks to Greg for making the process so easy!
Highly Recommend.
