    Audra M.

    We had A-1 complete two projects this year. Both jobs were executed flawlessly, and we cannot be happier with the owner and his outstanding crew. The estimate process was commendable, un-rushed, and more affordable than most. First, a small tree/shrub was taken out in summer. They did this so fast, it was akin to a NASCAR pit crew, with no details skipped. We were so impressed with the clean aftermath. Since trucks had to be parked on our one-way street, it was great that the owner had so many members of his team on the job to make things go so quickly. Most recently, we dealt with the much larger task of having a tall tree taken out in back...no easy feat, as the tree was grown into electrical wires. Watching the crew expertly take this tree down in parts was impressive, to say the least. When the owner estimated this, he did not scare us into "getting this tree down ASAP," as he said that it would need to come down within a couple of years, but no immediate sense of urgency for this year. Worth noting is that the business owner was on-site for the whole project (both projects, actually). What impressed us the most is how they all clearly took personal safety into account while also respecting the job site in full. We couldn't help but watch the entire process of the big tree takedown because the crew worked like a well-oiled machine, which was interesting to observe. They worked swiftly without rushing and had such a great flow with each other. It truly made us confident in, and happy with, their ability. The owner did all of the coordinating with ComEd to get them to cut the power (and you can trust that he's insured), which was appreciated. I cannot recommend A-1 enough, and though we have no more trees at this point, I will recommend them to anyone needing similar services.

    No shrubs!

    Great communication, responsive, and omg they removed the giant shrubs in front of my house in 10 mins. So efficient! The crew rolled up on time, they all knew exactly what they had to do, and boom...done. They even cleaned up my front porch area that was covered with leaves! They didn't have to do that, but they left my yard cleaner than they found it and I was so grateful. Will definitely use them again!

    Cleaned up branches over house, looks great. - A tall, leafless tree with numerous thin branches extends upward between a red house with a balcony and a brick building. The sky is overcast and gray, indicating a cloudy day. The scene includes residential structures with visible windows, balconies, and external staircases, suggesting an urban or suburban neighborhood.

    Highly recommend Sy for tree removal. Great service, friendly, and did a stellar job.

    Tree on my garage
    David A.

    On 3/29 a neighbor's tree fell onto my garage. I needed a company to remove the tree ASAP in order for my insurance to access the damages. I contacted A-1 Tree Service the morning of 3/30 and on 3/31 the crew made quick work of the fallen tree. This was a hazardous job requiring workers to scale a broken structure. But in 45 minutes they were done. While insurance reimbursed me for the cost, I thought the price was extremely reasonable given the response time, professionalism, and how fast they were able to get it done.

    Keith was a total pro to work with. Can't recommend him enough…read more We had to remove a large tree limb caught in some wire. He was on-site within an hour - in the evening no less. He quickly secured the limb for full removal the next morning. I think he's used to bigger jobs than ours, but he gave us more attention and expertise than we could've hoped for. I'll be contacting him in the future for emergency repair, as well as ongoing service. Would recommend to anyone.

    Let me start by saying Keith and his team are incredibly friendly. We hired him for a job back in…read moreNovember 2020 to cut down some dead pine trees. They did such a great job that we decided to hire them again in March/April 2022 to take down a tree next to the house. In the process of removing that tree his team cut down our perfectly health peach tree. He said one of his guys made a mistake and thought it was a maple sapling and was "doing us a favor" by getting rid of it. Keith made an agreement to replace the peach tree free of cost since it never should have come down in the first place. Here I am now in June after a million back and forth text messages with Keith and I still don't have a peach tree. He's promised time and time again "we'll be there this week to put it in" "we'll be there Monday to put it in" "it's hot out today can't do it" "sorry, we've been busy" "no worries, it's on the truck you'll have it before the weekend" I even asked for a reimbursement for the tree since he was busy, no luck. I've given up at this point. A very nice guy but bad business practices.

The tree was nearly three stories high, wedged in the easement between my neighbor's iron fence and my own iron fence. After receiving evaluations from several tree services, some who said they would be unable to do it without cranes, major alley disruption, or a guarantee of the results, we found Edgar at Chicago Tree Service Professionals. He evaluated the health of the tree (poor/dying), the location (challenging but not impossible), and described in detail the process they would follow. He was honest and easy to talk to, and he spoke from extensive experience. Plus, Edgar clearly took a lot of pride in his work and had confidence in his crew--and, as it turns out, rightfully so! Everything he had described and explained about the process, from how long it would take, to managing the alley traffic, to the method, was 100% accurate. They chipped the entire tree, swept up the properties, blew all the saw dust out of the surrounding gutters on our respective roofs, and hauled away the chips. The removal of this tree has given us long-needed peace of mind, especially after the severe storms this summer.
