AMAZING TEAMWORK BY A TRAINED & SKILLED TREE SERVICE CREW, SIMPLY AMAZING. ADD 5 EXTRA STARS ON, WE GIVE IT A 10 STAR RATING! 516-306-3839 This may be a bit long, but please read, thank you. We hated to cut down this over 100 year old Oak tree in our yard. But it was near our house and the branches high above were over our house and the trunk was starting to lift out of the ground! Before it destroys our home or our neighbors homes from strong winds and storms, we decided to have it cut down, it was time for it to go. I called in 5 tree experts, we chose CROSS ISLAND TREE SERVICE, we liked the reviews seen on Google, Santos the owner came over in less than an hour after I called him for an estimate, after a little back and forth about the price, Santos gave us a very fair price the we could afford. Santos also assured us, no property would be damaged and all debris would be cleaned up. Santos told us, to trim and prune the Red Maple tree in front of our house and to remove and grind down the stump of the Oak tree on the side of our house and because we are a corner property with wires on the side and in front of our house, it would take about 3-4 hours using 10 men. Santos told us this was really a small job for him and he does small as well as much larger jobs too. We were lucky, CITS had a morning opening to do the work 3 days from the time the estimate was given. The day the work began, I opened my door at 7:30AM, their truck and chipper machine were already in front of our home! Men were moving in all directions, some started trimming the Red Maple tree and others were already climbing up the old Oak tree, Santos said for this job he did not need to use his bucket truck, his men were skilled enough to climb and take down this tree even over wires and a busy Avenue with morning traffic.Wow, I did not know where to look and watch first? Everyone knew exactly what they had to do! No branches were dropped to the ground, all branches were lowered by rope and placed exactly where they wanted it to be, from there it carried to the chipper machine and blown into the back of their truck to be hauled away. Santos the owner stayed on this job the full time, he manned the chipper machine and did other jobs too. We were in awe, this crew ran like a precision time piece, as the branches and leaves came down, there were men raking and cleaning up as the tree removal progressed, just amazing! When it came time for the heavier branches and tree trunk to be cut they used what I call a hydraulic grabber that grabbed the heavy wood and placed it where they wanted it to go, Santos was operating this grabber machine even between the wire on the street, I still cannot believe what I saw happening before my very eyes. CITS equipment to me looked all brand new, trucks and machinery alike, you could see all was well taken care of and NO OIL LEAKS in the streets, like other reviews complained about using OTHER tree service companies! With the okay from Santos, around 10AM, I had delivered a hot breakfast and coffee for everyone and when the job was done I gave each of the men a nice thank you tip. I felt they really deserved it! With all these long branches coming down, they NEVER TOUCHED our home, the fence, the hedges or shrubs, when the left at 11:30AM, 4 hours later, our lawns and streets were so clean, you would never know they were here at all. They even brought wood to my neighbor for his fireplace two doors down. I cannot say enough about this great tree service company run by Santos! BRAVO to CROSS ISLAND TREE SERVICE, and we thank you AGAIN! Joe & Angela read more

This is not a company you want to hire, They cut down two trees for my neighbor and left divits in my lawn, destroyed my garden, left piles of trees bark and refused to come back and clean up or fill the holes they left in the lawn, wood chips all over the yard. Stay away from this company as they don't finish the job professionally, very disappointed, there are better trees cutting services out there, but it ain't Cross island tree service read more

They were so good. My tree was over my two story home and not a scratch on my house or the new fence! Great price. Once I said yes, the crew was there in 20 minutes. Took less than two hours which was amazing. They ground the stump down and took ever branch away. Left the yard like nothing ever happened. Very polite and professional!! read more

They were fantastic!! The price for the level of service was completely worth it. They were an absolute powerhouse. From the moment they arrived to the moment the left. I had no idea they arrived when they did, they just went straight to work and were none stop. They took down this terribly rotted tree that towered way above my house and cut it down in less than an hour flat. It was an amazing process to watch. Their team work was unlike any i have ever seen. They were so meticulous and calculated to safely cut it without any fear of potential damaged, considering the narrow space they were working with. The way they cleaned up as they went, you would've never known what chaos there once was with all the branches and leaves. My mind was blown from the level of service!! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and everyone! read more

They were working on the house next door to mine and they kept hitting my car with branches when I told them to be careful of my car, they started getting obnoxious and loud. On top of all this they were blocking my driveway and wouldn't move the car for 40 minutes, which made me late for work. From how I experience their service from the side would not recommend this company to anyone read more

Cross Island Tree Service is very professional. They came on time, did everything that I was told during the estimate, were very careful with my property and performed like a synchronized dance. I had 3 Linden trees and a Mulberry tree removed and it was completed in about 3-4 hours. I highly recommend Cross Island Tree service. read more
