Hardworking guys. The sun was relentless and they carried on. Professional and respectful. Highly competent. Competitive pricing.

They came right out to give a quote but were a no show on the service day. Difficult to get a call back.

I'm very happy with the work. The team worked seamlessly together and accomplished a lot of heavy work in record time with safety and accuracy. All branches were cleaned up, even the sawdust in the driveway. I had a hefty pile of heavy logs and the same day a very careful and competent worker removed them (fun to watch the equipment and skill). Top notch equipment, excellent workers, I had no worries about overhead lines or nearby trees and plantings, absolutely no damage. 100% recommended! read more

These guys showed up on time did an excellent job and left the place immaculate. They were super professional and efficient. The price is exactly as quoted and literally 1/3 of other quotes I received. I would absolutely use them again. read more

So I have a lot of trees which made it easy to access my roof by the squirrels. I found 2 holes where the dormer meets the roof. Inside we had a family of 7 squirrels. We set up traps on the roof @ both openings and after about 4-5 days we had all 7 squirrels removed. Once we were sure all the squirrels were out, the access hole were sealed with sheet metal to prevent other rodents from entering and nesting. Now we had to remove their path of access up to the roof. I called several tree removal services explained what I wanted done and SERGIOS came in the lowest by a substantial margin. It took awhile for them to actually come out as they are in very high demand, but once they did his crew worked in a very efficient manner doing the branch removal on the maple tree and cutting down 3 smaller trees. That being said Sergio came out this morning to reassess what we talked about 5-6 weeks ago to reconfirm what needed to be taken care of. His crew came back about 1 hour later and got to work. I was amazed by Spiderman as he climbed the tree as far as the extension ladder could bring him. He then threw ropes up higher as he created a way for him to climb higher & @ the same time create a harness/pulley to lower the limbs to be removed. While he was positioning himself to do the cutting of the limbs the others were busy cutting & trimming lower branches & throwing them into the wood chipper in the back. Once Spiderman had the ropes in position he called to his partners on the ground. They took a hold of the rope readied themselves for the cutting of the large maple tree branches. As he cut they lowered the branch slowly to the ground where they cut it up into pieces that they could carry an place in the wood chipper. They worked methodically & very efficiently. They actually went beyond the scope of work and trimmed excess branches off the tree. Afterwards they did a great job cleaning up. They still need to come back & remove the crab apple tree stump, but they do excellent work at a very low price. I WILL DEFINITELY USE SERGIO'S TREE REMOVAL WHEN THE NEED ARISES. Thanks GUYS SUPER JOB!!! read more

Took down a giant seat elm right above the power lines. Best quote by far and excellent work. Coordinated with ComEd. Everything went exactly as promised. read more

Really outstanding service! Highly recommend! We have used Sergio in the past and everything always goes better than expected. His pricing is more than fair and his service is way beyond GREAT!! We will always call Sergio for our tree trimming needs! read more

From what most reviews say, he does a good job. I wouldn't know. 4 times I set up appointments with him, and 4 times he did not show up or even call to say he was not coming. I understand that someone may need to reschedule--but not to call to say you are not coming for a scheduled appointment, 4 times, is not forgivable/horrible business practice. Make sure you are not contracting with him if you have an emergency. read more

Very disappointed. Sergio came for an estimate to my house in March. I have tried to schedule the job 3 times. They keep telling me "Sergio will call you back" we'll...... Sergio has never called me back. If they didn't want the job, No problem, but them playing games and not getting back to me IS a problem. Look elsewhere read more

Did an excellent job. Great to work with I trusted their judgment and all went well. We had about 7 trees removed one stump removed and trees pruned. They completed the job like a well choreographed dance! Would highly recommend. read more

Sergio came out in late August and gave us a fantastic price for tree removal and two other tree trimming and said he'd be able to come and do the job within 2 weeks. It's mid November and I've been trying to reach Sergio since August getting his assistant only. She told me I was on a waiting list but was elusive as to "when" he would do the job. After more than 2 months I finally was told by this assistant that I wasn't on the list any longer and the job couldn't be completed this year and likely not until spring! A very unprofessional organization. We have root infiltration of our sewer because of this tree and it cannot wait any longer so luckily I was able to find and hire a real professional that's coming in 4 days! Don't waste your time because from what I can tell he gives a great estimate lower than anyone else keeping you on the hook, then picks and chooses which ones he will do! If you are one of the unlucky ones like myself and others I've read before with similar experiences, you'll never see him again! read more

I needed a tree removed from my residence Several companies came out and gave me estimates. My brother and nephew both recommended Sergio's Tree Service stated they have the BEST PRICE. I had Sergio come out and give me an estimate. WITH NO EXAGGERATION....SERGIO'S ESTIMATE WAA LESS THAN HALF OFF THE OTHERS!!!!! Yes it does take a bit to get them out here...but as I told my wife...well worth it when u are saving 50 percent. They came out in about 2 weeks and the stump 1 week later...PERFECT JOB AT A GREAT PRICE=VERY HAPPY!!! read more

Sergio's removed a massive oak last week, safely and efficiently. We couldn't be happier with their professionalism, promptness, and thorough cleanup. They took care that none of our landscaping was disturbed and were polite and efficient throughout. Furthermore, their quote was lower than competitor's. We will use them henceforth! read more

Don't count on him. Waited over a month and then they said they couldn't do. If they had let me know I could have found other. And many phone calls read more

While walking our dogs my Bride saw Sergio's Tree Removal trucks on a job. She came home and told me about them. I immediately went to Yelp to see the reviews. During that process Yelp gave me the option to contact similar services. I contacted several. I had multiple services quote me. Sergio was super friendly and explained everything clearly. He was polite and courteous. Sergio's came in nearly 1/2 what others quoted me at. I asked him if he was bonded and licensed. He immediately produced the paperwork. I felt very comfortable with hiring him. Sergio's Tree Removal did an amazing job at our house. We had several very large trees. His crew worked hard and efficiently. My father and I watched in awe at how quickly they were able to cut down an almost 4 story Ash tree. Many of the trees were dangerous to the house, and enabled critters to get on our roof easily. In one day they cut down 4 good sized trees and trimmed several others. I noticed my neighbor came over and asked their crew for info. I couldn't be more pleased with their work and would gladly recommend them. read more

They did excellent tree removal work. Safety concious, great cleanup, INSURED, inexpensive, very responsive. Their estimate came in about half of the other 6. Removed 3 forty foot trees and trimmed another. Took 6 hours and charged $1600. Trees were near houses and electrical lines. Left the stumps close to the ground, cut up into 16 inch lengths for firewood. read more

Sergio removed two 30 foot Ash trees that were diseased due to the Emerald Ash Borer. They had a crew of four and completed the job in record time. Branches went thru the wood chipper and the larger logs were removed from our front yard the very next morning. They were immaculate in their cleaning of the lawn. He had the best price by far when compared to the major tree removal companies. He may not be an Arborist, but he noticed one thing that two other arborists missed. The tree had a double trunk and they only recommended removing one of the trees and Sergio noticed the other one was diseased as well. Yeah, we were scheduled for am service and he showed up in the afternoon. Based on his price and service it was no big deal. #treeremoval #arborist #sergiotreeremoval read more

An absolute disaster start to finish. This is long but I think it gives you a good sense of why you should never ever hire these guys. I got an estimate in May and scheduled them to come out at their soonest available, July 17th. At the time they said they would work with our HOA to inform everyone who needed to move their cars (parking lot with assigned parking-about 7 cars would have had to be moved) since they know him. I called a week ahead of time to confirm and ask if they had had any issues contacting the guy in charge of our HOA. The woman on the phone says no one has told her anything about that and that's not something they normally do. I said I was told they would and call me back if it's an issue contacting him so I have time to work with everyone myself. They never call back so I assume we're good to go. Saturday rolls around and I sit around all day waiting for them. The office said to expect them at 1 and when they don't show by 2:30 I start calling. No one picks up, no voicemail available, nothing. 4:30 I tried to text the number on the off chance it's a cell phone. I got a response back at 5:30 with oh they don't work after 3, don't know why they didn't show. I said this isn't acceptable I waited all day and no one contacted me. Then I get "oh they came but there was a car in the way" no one contacted me and this could have easily been remedied, or at least I could have been informed. I said I need to know when they are coming to do this job. The office says they'll "swing by" sometime early next week. I said I need to know exactly when or you're going to have the same issue. No response. Monday rolls around and someone rings my doorbell at 7:30 in the morning (waking me up but now we have proof that they are, in fact, capable of ringing doorbells) and there's Sergio's team, complaining that I need to have all these cars moved. I said no, I'm not waking up all these neighbors I've never met at 7:30 especially because I had no notice. So the guy says he's going to call Sergio and holds up his finger in the universal "hold on one second" gesture. I go duck back inside for a minute and come back out and they're just GONE. No explanation. No plan. Just gone. I call and leave a voicemail at the office. I call the other number I have and Sergio picks up, no apologies, no acknowledgment that this isn't okay and just says "do you want this done or not, it doesn't matter to me." Oh and also that the reason why they didn't show up Saturday was that it might rain or the weather or something like that NOT that there was a car in the way. Which, again, should have been communicated. Office calls me back (so they can also make calls). I argue back and forth and say I am available to reschedule Tuesday (today) or Thursday but I need them to take a look at another issue that came up to make sure they can take care of both issues. She says she'll talk to Sergio. Hours go by. I call back in between meetings and ask what's going on and she says "oh I have you down on Tuesday" (news to me) and I ask about them coming by to look at the new issue. She says oh he'll call you when he gets there. I say I'll be in meetings and can't pop out or take calls without notice. She says to just tell her where the new issue is and he'll just look. I tell her I need confirmation before I'll ask my neighbors to move their cars. She agrees. I never heard anything. Sergio has now no-showed me 2 times. Because I really want this done and apparently I still have hope, I prepare and the parking lot is clear on the off chance they actually show. It is now an hour after they said they would be here and I'm looking at 3 times of this terrible place ghosting me. TL;DR: terrible communication, rude, doesn't show up, will absolutely disrespect your time. You shouldn't have to chase people down to give them a substantial amount of money. Go hire someone else who has an ounce of professionalism. It would be worth whatever savings you think they'll give you. read more

Sergio and his crew just finished removing a 70-75 foot Oak with root rot . They did a fantastic job ! Not only was Sergio honest by telling us the tree was too far gone to save , while others wanted to try and save a completely rotten tree, and wanting over $1000.00 to do so. The tree was going to have to be taken down regardless of treatments the others wanted to do, Sergio was also by far the most competitively priced to remove the tree and stump . They left our property clean and as if they were never here. Great job Sergio and Crew ! JK Highwood IL read more

We got 3 estimates to remove a large Maple tree in our front yard. The first two were so high, we decided to forgo the project. Then we got a quote from Sergio's and we were happy with that quote. Yes, they took awhile to get out here, but hey, everyone is busy with outside projects these day! Patience, people! When they did come out, they did an amazing job of taking the tree down, limb by limb. Then the stump, cut and ground out. They cleaned every little piece of branch or tree that was in the yard and were done in about 2 hours. It was a fascinating process to watch. What a great, and fair-priced company. I won't call anyone else if I ever need a tree removed. I definitely recommend them highly!!" read more

We were very happy with Sergio's Tree Removal! We have a tree in the yard/alley that had a large branch leaning on the roof of our garage. I believe the branch was 2.5 feet in diameter. The estimate was done the SAME DAY we called them, Sergio recommended we also get the entire tree pruned. The entire meeting process went by quickly and pricing came in slightly less than others. The day of removal, 3 workers showed up with 2 trucks and you barely knew they were there! We have a lot of power lines and cables in the way and they were very mindful of this and worked smoothly around them. Great company, very professional, I wish all companies were this easy to work with! read more

Sergio came out to give me a quote and said he would squeeze me in the next week or 2. Never heard back from him. When I called the company, his assistant/scheduler said she had nothing to do with his add ons and couldn't help at all. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Just fantastic. Not only did Sergio come in about $800 less than my other quotes, his guys were extremely professional and efficient. I had two 40 ft pine trees and a bunch of shrubs removed plus had the stumps ground down (pay the extra for it - it's worth it). Anyone would be crazy not to have Sergio out to give you a quote. Highly Recommend! read more

I had an Ash Tree that an Arborist told me a few years back would die due to the Ash Borer. I called Sergio to get an estimate to remove. Sergio arrived and told that it looks like the tree is actually doing fine. He thinks that the Arborist (can't remember name) that I previously used treated the ground and prevented the tree from dying. Just to make sure, he called an Arborist he worked with (different company than Sergios) to look at it. The Arborist came out and said it looked fine and recommended we treat it for Ash Borers for $90 as it did have a minor infestation. Sergio never charged me a thing. Not only did he lose a $300 job, he prevented me from paying the $300 plus the cost of putting a new tree in. And my existing tree is much bigger than any tree I would have planted. It is nice to see honest businesses these days. I will always refer Sergio to my friends when they need any tree work done. read more

Fast and very professional. Good clean up and competitve prices. Went over and above expections. read more

After patiently waiting for 2 months with weather and schedule interferences, Sergio trimmed my city big maple tree. HE IS THE BEST! This guy is a hard worker, humble, kind, and cares about his job. The guys left the yard perfectly clean. And I had a great conversation with Sergio after the work was done. Hard worker!!! Have a little patience because he is busy and weather can interrupt appointments, but he is 100% the guy you want to take care of your trees. read more

Sergio is a bad businessman. Does not answer his phone, does not return calls. If he does your job it's on his schedule, if he shows up at all. Very unprofessional operator and business. If you like getting the run around than Sergio is your guy. read more

They didn't show up on the day of the appointment. I even confirmed it via E-mail. They didn't return my voice message nor reply E-mail.

Sergio's crew does a good job but, they are wildly unresponsive and unreliable. I tried to re-book them for tree work over a two year period and they constantly delayed the scheduling and were no-shows on multiple occasions. I wish I could say something more positive because I had a good experience the first time we used them. read more

Had a price quoted from him and was specific on also removing the stumps as well as the trees. We agreed on a price with stump removal. Before the work started my husband also reminded Sergio himself that the stumps will be removed. He agreed. The crew also then told us another crew must come out to remove the stumps after they removed the trees. We waited a week plus. Sergio showed up at our door unannounced asking for payment. No invoice was sent to us either! We asked when the work would be completed? He started yelling it was done! Became verbally abusive and said he did not want payment and wasn't finishing nor was that what we agreed! Why would we even consider removing trees with out removing the stump as well?!? He was our 3rd quote and not that far off from others. He just could do it quicker than the others. So unprofessional. Get everything in writing and look elsewhere. read more

I spoke with one of Sergio's employees after making what felt like 20 phone calls to other companies and Sergio's came in at the best price hands down! I ensured I would do further research to make sure he was legit and after reading the reviews I felt comfortable. He personally came out to provide the exact estimate and he even made small talk to make the experience nice and easy. I would highly recommend is company for their competitive pricing and honest nature. read more

Sergio was recommended to me by a friend. By all accounts, his work is excellent. However, he and his office failed to return any calls to actually do the work after my estimate. I should not have to chase someone down to give them business, but after four calls over a period of two weeks with no response, I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

Excellent work by Sergio's crew! We had three previous estimates and reached out to Sergio, whose quote was WAY below the others. We went with Sergio, given the high reviews, and could not have been more pleased with his crew's professionalism and consideration. They moved planters out of harms way and replaced all them in the exact locations. May appear like a small thing to most but that is what counts and is a true reflection of their professional services. You may have to wait a bit, given they are in high demand but all around, could not recommend them highly enough! read more

I contacted Sergios tree service, had them come out to give me an estimate. Called and scheduled a date for tree removal, took a day off work so I could be there, no show no call. Called their number several times with no return call, a week later I finally got a hold of the girl that answers the phone. She apologized that Sergio did not let her know that he didn't make it to our house. I set up another date, stayed home all day and once again no show no call. I would definitely not use this company as they are unprofessional and non responsive. read more

Sergio's Tree Removal Service just removed 7 large trees from our property. They were extremely professional, efficient, thorough, and unbelievably neat. In spite of the fact that the trees were enormous not even a minor mishap occurred. When they finished, every last branch and wood chip was removed from the ground and driveway. They were pleasant and polite. I highly recommend them. read more

These guys are great! They work fast and know exactly what they are doing they are also very nice and very good on pricing. I would recommend them to any one. read more

We live in Evanston and all the quotes came in with a book including the background on each variety of tree in the yard. Sergio came in looked and said "we'll take care of it". These guys do an amazing job. We had trees on the edge of the property near power lines and they ran through them like acrobats. We had a large branch over the swimming pool in a difficult location that they also removed with ease. Scheduling can be a challenge, but the work they do is great & at a reasonable price. We will have them back. read more

I was very pleased with our tree removal. The price was very competitive and the removal was professional and clean. Our backyard is small but the team was efficient. They avoided the pipes for our irrigation system but had to cut one of the wires for the outdoor lighting because it was too close to the stump. Before they left, they cleaned our patio and lawn and repositioned the lights and reconnected the wires. I would not hesitate to hire them again! read more

I used Sergio to remove a large tree stump and lilac tree last October. He offered the best price and did a wonderful job. Cleaned up after he left, you can't even tell a tree was there. I would comment though, the scheduling could have been better. he basically said he would come out the following week to do the job. But he couldn't commit to a specific date or time. He basically showed up one day while I was at work and completed the job. I was flexible so it didn't bother me, but for those who are on a schedule it could be a problem. read more

I had Sergio's and others come out to give me an estimate to remove a few trees, including one that was rubbing up against the side of my house and was causing my son to need to sleep somewhere besides his room because the noise was so loud. I got a couple quotes and Sergio's was by far the cheapest, so I told them I wanted to move forward with the project and asked them to submit the necessary permit applications and let me know when they could schedule to remove the trees. I have followed up every week since then, which was 7 weeks ago. Sandra kept telling me that it was in the works and she would notify me when they were ready to move forward. When I threatened to take my business elsewhere earlier this week, I received a voicemail from Sandra saying that the permit application had been submitted and she would check in on the status (which never happened). Today, when I met with another tree removal company, I learned that the HOMEOWNER needs to submit the permit to my village and that I need to attach a signed contract (which Sergio's never asked me to sign). So, clearly, Sergio's never submitted a permit application. I am beyond frustrated, as I have now wasted two months in this unnecessarily long process. DO NOT USE SERGIO'S -- ESPECIALLY IF A PERMIT IS REQUIRED TO REMOVE YOUR TREE! read more
