BUSKIRK TREE SERVICE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST IN PEORIA!! If you need any sort of tree service at all,…read morehire them!! You will not regret it! I just cannot say enough good things about them but will try. After a severe thunderstorm I had one tree broken in half, the top quarter of another broken off and hanging, and multiple large limbs down. It was a mess!! I called different tree services for estimates. One never called back, one was unprofessional and one said they would come out but never did. Then I called Buskirk Tree Service. How I wish I would have called Buskirk first!! The phone was professionally answered by Mindy who took all of my information and began writing a referral. She properly set my expectations and told me that with the storm they were very busy but that Joe Buskirk (the owner) would get in contact with me soon. Joe called me in a very reasonable amount of time and got me a written estimate that was detailed about the work to be done. The estimate was lower than the other estimate I had received. But above and beyond the price Joe called and talked to me about the work and explained in a clear and succinct manner what would be done. He reassured me that their crews are insured and that the work would be done promptly. He instilled confidence in me that Buskirk was the right company to clean up the mess so I happily agreed to the terms. The VERY NEXT MORNING his crew arrived and were thorough professionals! They cut up all the limbs, removed the hanging top quarter of the wounded tree and took down the remaining standing half of the split tree and then removed the stump. They chipped up the wood, cleaned up and were done. ALL IN ONE DAY!!!! And the most remarkable thing is they did not even leave any wood chips or debris behind. I guess they must have run a vacuum cleaner over the grass!! It was like the storm never happened and no limbs ever fell!! It was amazing. The invoice arrived and matched the estimate exactly. I happily paid it in full!! I have some other trees and bushes on my property that need some care. You better believe I am going to hire Buskirk to take care of them as well! If you ever need tree service by all means hire BUSKIRK TREE SERVICE. They are completely amazing!! You can trust them. They will do a great job for you!

This is completely unprofessional, extremely poor judgment and now I have an awful tree line right in front of my house!!! These guys are terrific at removing trees!!! Cut cut cut, don't think, just cut. I am extremely appalled by this Buskirk Tree Service Business. Absolutely no reason for this. No matter what I say, who I complain to, doesn't matter now, my trees have been SLAUGHTERED.

One of the large walnut trees was right over my garage but they got the job done with no damage at all. The guys had top of the line equipment and knew how to use it!

Squeezed me in and did a terrible job, I asked them to climb back up and correct 2 of the 4 trees. I purchased my home in winter so was uncertain yet which trees would bloom, where, etc. I sent pictures of numerous large branches and limbs still falling all over my yard and roof as well as over 15+ branches they did not remove that were clearly dead. I was told REPEATEDLY they would come correct it and take of the issue at no extra cost to me, they gaslit me overand over never showed up, stopped answering my calls, never heard from them again. Paid $1700 to have dangerously large branches falling everytime it is windy and they could care less, gave me every excuse possible!​

One tree snapped during June storm and was unsafely leaning toward house. We ended up having them drop 3 trees. They were priced well and I was amazed at how quickly they had them on the ground.

Price was very, very reasonable for the service provided. I highly recommend Buck's Tree Service. My mother has also used them in the past. She's sometimes picky to the point of being unreasonable, but even she was pleased with their work. I understand the comment from 2018. Know that when. you are calling, you are actually talking to the man who's going to be doing the work. He's probably on a job, etc. You won't be talking to a guy that just rides around in a truck all day giving estimates. It's unfortunate the earlier reviewer found him to be a bit gruff over the phone. I found Phil to be a very pleasant and respectful individual.

I was impressed in how efficient they were in removing two large trees and two smaller trees in two hours. The tree limbs were cleaned up and hauled away, and it all was done at a very good price!

They were recommended to us by one…read moreof my cousins about a year and a half ago when we were looking to have a very large tree dangerously close to our house removed. We called them again earlier this week to get an estimate on having the remaining trees removed from our backyard. We knew when we moved into our house that they would eventually be a problem. None of them were in very good condition, as they were either hanging over the house, dead, or dying, and it just got to a point where they were becoming too much of a hazard. The Tree Surgeon came out with their crew the same week, and within two days they removed at least 8 trees from our yard at a very reasonable price! They worked quickly and efficiently, and they did a great job of cleaning up.
