Progressive Tree Service

An extraordinary experience. We faced the daunting challenge of dealing with a massive 175-year-old Elm tree that had fallen prey to Dutch Elm Disease and was entangled in power lines. Initially, we signed a contract with another company to remove the tree. However, the situation turned sour when they arrived after waiting many months and unexpectedly asserted that the agreed-upon price was meager. They blamed one of their estimators who no longer worked with them. In addition, they were insulting and blamed me for wanting to put the lives of their crew in danger. Ultimately, that company backed out of the job, leaving us stranded. The City of Evanston offered no advice but insisted we remove the tree as soon as possible since it was a hazard to public safety.
In our time of distress, we reached out to Progressive Tree Service for an estimate, and their response was commendable. From the beginning, they exhibited professionalism and a genuine concern for the job, including their workers' safety. Their team was trustworthy, well-prepared, and at ease, proving their expertise in handling challenging tasks.
Progressive's assistance was a lifesaver, and we are immensely grateful for their support in resolving the situation efficiently.
Overall, we highly recommend Progressive to anyone facing similar challenges. They surpassed our expectations in every way as they helped us easily navigate this troubling tree-removal process.

Wow - Progressive Tree Service was AMAZING. Their bid came in at half of what other companies asked. They arrived promptly and the crew leader was exceptional. The entire crew worked efficiently, safely, and very intentionally. It was like watching a tree surgeon. They were extraordinarily careful not to damage anything and they cleaned up all of the debris. I am so pleased with their service and I'd give them 10 stars if I could!

These guys are amazing and do fantastic work. I had a 100 ft high Elm removed from a very hard to get to spot in the corner of the yard and they did an incredible job. We have had them out for some emergencies and tree trimming before, but they really had their work cut out for them on this one and it could not have gone any smoother. Every part of the business is professional and well run - from the scheduling and communications, to their consulting and expertise and care in removing our tree. What a pleasure to work with Progressive, If I could, I'd give them 10 stars. Thanks to the whole team at Progressive Tree Services.

Excellent job! Diego communicated my options and worked within my budget. He set realistic expectations and kept me updated from start to finish. Eloy and the team were clean and efficient, making the tough job of taking down a hazardous poplar on a windy, cloudy day, look easy. Thanks for a great job, I'll be in touch for the next one.

Juan came out to inspect a sick tree. He was courteous and professional, gave information about how to treat our sick tree. Unfortunately, he was not able to provide services, but solid advice. In the future, I will be calling Progressive Tree Service for our future tree needs. Two thumbs up! Service:General pest inspection

Crew was very professional. Pruned and lowered branches properly onto the ground. Cleaned up when they were finished. Definitely will hire again.

After having a guy come quote for me to cut our tree down and demanded a deposit for commitment, I was very frustrated being bounced on appointments picked for and getting cancelled for a whole month. I finally called progressive and they showed up very quickly for a quote that was reasonable and fair. They gave me an appointment and they honoured it.

The guy was very professional and kind. When his crew showed up they did a marvellous job and were very quick. They ended up cleaning up another huge tree for me with dead branches for a reasonable price. This guys cleaned up my yard like nothing happened. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of such services.

These guys are true professionals. I had a damaged tree coming out of the ground that was leaning toward my house. They were able to get me on the schedule for the following day. When they arrived to remove the tree the foreman (Eloy) noticed that another tree nearby had split at the base and was in danger of falling on our house. They were able to remove both trees by the end of the day. They are clearly a highly skilled and efficient crew. I would recommend them to anyone requiring this kind of service.

Juan responded right away to my request for a quote and came out the next day. His quote was competitive, and he was very knowledgeable. His team did an excellent job pruning our apricot tree and our large elm tree that was hanging over part of our house. I would definitely hire them again!

It went really well. They were on time and professional. The only downside was I had to chase them by calling them a lot to make the work happen.

We had an excellent experience with Progressive Tree Service. A knowledgeable and informative proposal was made by Juan for the job of trimming and thinning our large silver maple. The work was done at all times collaborating with us in regards to how aggressively we wanted the tree thinned out and which branches to remove or cut back. Very tastefully done in all regards. Done at a fair price as well.

Great job! Great communication on site and review of work before and after. Pricing competitive.

Very happy with the work & service unfortunately I have no more trees so I won't need to use them again but I would refer them on to anyone

Firewood was disappointing, but I spoke to Diego and he made it good. Am now a satisfied customer.

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.

I had remove some trees from front and back yard! After reading some comments I hired them for the work and results was what I expected from the feedback! They did and excellent job and were very friendly. It was very easy to communicate and very reasonable!

As a landscape designer, running into tree maintenance and tree issues is a frequent occurrence. After receiving other bids and having worked with other arborists, I consistently choose to work with Juan. Progressive Tree Care provides the best value for arbor care around. Not only is his team honest, intelligent, and professional, but the prices are fair as well.

We had a large birch tree in front of our house partly collapse. The rest of the tree was in danger of falling and causing a risky situation. Progressive tree service was able to get us a quote quickly and come remove the tree on short notice. They were quite professional and safely downed the remaining portions of the tree without any additional damage to house or properly. In addition, per my request they cut the tree into firewood length rounds and stacked it neatly in the yard to season. Excellent service I plan on using them again.

Really nice guys. Professional. Even raked up the smallest of the twigs that we're left from the pile and hauled them away too.

We needed a very large cottonwood tree removed (including stump grinding) plus the installation of a cable on another one of our old trees. We received more than 8 quotes ranging from $3,800 to $10,000 for the work. Juan from Progressive was extremely responsive to our original request for a quote, personally came out to look at the tree within 48 hours of my initial contact, and took time to explain how his crew would handle the removal.

His pricing was fair and clear (his quote fell on the lower quadrant of the range). He proactively provided copies of his company's insurance and workers' compensation policies, and on the day of removal his crew could not have been more professional, clean and methodical (and safe!). My B rating for responsiveness is only because after he provided the quote he got extremely busy (probably because he's so good at his job) and I had difficulty getting a removal date confirmed. However, he gets extra points for his overall professionalism and for doing exactly what he said he do (he's the kind of guy who's as good as his word). He even provided me with recommendations for landscapers. I highly recommend and will definitely use Progressive in the future for any of our tree needs.

Progressive was called the next day and their representative came within 4 hours of the call to assess the situation. After permission was obtained to remove the tree, Progressive was notified Saturday afternoon and promised to be there Sunday around noon. They came two hours EARLY with the proper equipment and crew to efficiently remove the tree.

They were fast and took great care not to damage the surrounding landscape. They cleaned up very well and were on their way to the next job as they were very busy with storm damage around the area. They are very professional and we recommend them and would call them again.
