"Team was quick and efficient. They showed up and made quick work of the row of trees we needed removed. They had no problem adding a trimming task to their workload for the day. Cost was reasonable given the size of the job 14 arbors+2 huge trimming jobs)."

"Unfortunately, about two dozen dead or dying trees on our property had to be removed. Most of them were ash trees infected with the emerald ash borer. Some of them were very large and very close to the house, making their removal especially challenging. We got a bunch of estimates and eventually decided to go with Al (Rivas Tree Service) because he seemed amazingly knowledgeable and attentive, and also gave us a very competitive quote. We couldn’t be more satisfied with the results! Al and his crew were absolutely great. I could observe what they were doing from my study window and I confess that I was so fascinated with their speedy, competent, [and scary] work that I didn’t manage to get much done that day. It was a wonderfully orchestrated unfolding of activities that resulted in the removal of almost all the trees in a long day of work. The crew came back the next morning to cut one remaining large ash tree and to do the final clean up. Thanks to their know-how and some amazing equipment they brought for the job, there was not the slightest damage to the property and the yard clean-up was meticulous. I should also note that they did some extra pruning work at no extra charge. Rivas has my strongest recommendation."

"Jim was very responsive and came out to provide a bid on the work I requested.  His price was reasonable compared to other offers I considered.  I was very happy with the work he and his crew provided.  The trimmed trees have all the overgrown lower limbs removed and now have a great shape. Jim was very professional and kept me informed on the work.  His estimate was exactly what he charged.

"I initially called another Angie's List tree service and they contacted Meca because they either were not in my area or could not service me in my timeframe.  Maria promptly called me and explained the referral came from the company I initially called.  I explained what I needed.  I asked if they were on Angie's List and Maria said they were.  They came out immediately and called me with an estimate. I asked for their insurance coverage and Maria promptly faxed the information to me. I called the following week and we agreed on a date in the same week and they arrived on time. The gentleman assessed the area and also provided me a copy of their insurance documents. He asked me exactly what I wanted trimmed. Unfortunately, they forgot their ladder but I had an extension ladder for them to use.  They had a team that worked quickly and efficiently. I came out once to see how they were doing and they asked me if I was satisfied with their work. They cleaned up all the shavings as well as those in my neighbor's yard and the alley.The trimming provided much needed light and their price was just right.

"The quote request from Angie's List was responded to the same day by this company. The price was very reasonable and better than an earlier quote we had. We contracted immediately. They showed up when they were expected, and the team reviewed which exact trees were to be removed, I have quite a few in my yard. They had the first two down quickly, then started on the larger one near the house. They did a terrific job removing the limb over the house, and never touched the house as they came down. The team did a terrific job in total, and cleaned up the yard, it was actually better cleaned than before they started. Stumps were all ground down, and the mulch will go nicely around our house this spring."

"From the very beginning  they were very helpful and professional.  They shot straight from the hip and gave me all the information I asked for as well as information I did not even think of.  Their communication was very pleasant.  I was happy that I was able to do all my communication via e-mail with them since I work during the day and its hard for me to get to the phone.  I had some concerns with leaving the stump but they gave me sound advice on how to kill the stump off.   would use these guys in a heartbeat again and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for tree service!

FAQs for tree service projects in Skokie, IL

Professionals remove shrubs by first cutting back the branches using tools like pruning shears or chainsaws for thicker stems. They then cut the base close to the ground and dig around the root system to remove the roots completely, preventing regrowth. Finally, they’ll ensure proper disposal of branches and debris while complying with local regulations.

A bush stump will regrow if any portion of its root system remains. When even a small section of roots is left behind, new shoots emerge and regenerate the bush with leggy, spreading growth. Working with a professional landscaper ensures the complete removal of the stump and all roots, which is essential to prevent any regrowth, ensuring that the area remains clear and maintenance is minimized.
