Smitty tree service was supposed to remove a Tree that fell against my garage in the process, they cut through my gutter and roof with a chainsaw, damaging my shingles, my gutter guard, my gutter, and my facia. I reported the issue to Daniela who is there secretary and she assured me that somebody will be back in…
This is the second time I've used Smitty's Tree Service and they were great. After tgat horrible storm they were a real life saver. They were thorough, timely and reasonably priced. I was really impressed with the work!!
All work was done professionally. We were out of town and did removal when we were not present. No problem! Grinding of stump was done in a short time. Were attentive to keeping the job neatly done
They came out and had the tree removed within an hour and were back out within the week to grind the stump. They completed everything quickly and efficiently.
The prices were very reasonable. Service was excellent. Workers professional and courteous ! Will hire them again.
Excellent work and the crew was outstanding. Got the job completed and we are quite satisfied.
In response to recent storms, Smitty's provided the immediate service needed to remove a tree that fell on my garage and trim the many dangerous branches hanging from other trees. The crew was professional, hard working, and polite. They have served me and my home well over the years and it was wonderful knowing…
They hit my garage with a tree and claiming it never happened. Horrible company with horrible customer service. They weren’t even willing to meet me at my house to see the damage. Also ran over my clean out with their truck and broke it. Unethical
Very professional company! Labors were very safe and very efficient in cutting down my pine tree of 30 years of growth!
Smitty's did an excellent job at removing a dead spruce from my property. They were friendly, efficient, and professional.
Smitty's is our go to for tree trimming/removal in the Beverly area. Smitty's has both trimmed back trees to the property line, away from our roof, and removed a large tree. Pricing has been more than reasonable, the assigned rep for each job has always been helpful, and the crews have been very efficient and professional!
We each invest so much in our homes to keep them safe and attractive. Often we invest in do-it-yourself landscaping - trees and bushes. Twenty years can pass quickly and the same "landscaping" has turned a beautiful investment into an urban jungle. That's when I called Smitty's and my only wish is that I didn't…
Smitty's did a great job cutting down a wild tree and barberry bush. I had several old stumps that needed to be removed. The stump grinding was fantastic. There was no evidence left of the old stumps. I will definitely use them again!
I have used Smitty’s in the past. They have always given a fair estimate. They are a very professional company as the job is completed in a timely manner. I highly recommend Smitty’s and will use them again in the future.
I contacted Smitty's because I needed a tree removed along my fence line. Someone from Smitty's came out the next day to see the tree and give me a quote. After accepting the quote, they contacted me to schedule the tree removal. The entire process simple. I appreciate the great service they provided. I highly recommend Smitty's.
We needed a couple evergreens removed that were overgrown and Smitty's removed them. They did a great job. They were prompt and cleaned up after the removals. And came back after a week to grind the stumps. I highly recommend Smitty's.
Smitty Tree Service did an outstanding job cutting down and trimming trees on my property. They were very professional and careful not to damage my property. I am really impressed with their company. I will use them again and recommend anyone who needs a tree service company to book with them. Thank you!
My tree removal experience was very pleasant. Sandy gave me an estimate and answered my concerns professionally. I wish I could remember the crews names but they were professional coordinated and meticulously organized. I have a new respect for the tree removal industry.
Was impressed with smitty’s tree service. They took down this huge tree and removed everything and cleaned up everything in less than two hours. They also removed the stump . They used a boom truck from the street and didn’t have to drive on the grass which would have been a mess . Grass is already coming up from…
A "TEAM" of men came and took down a very tall Christmas tree in the front of my house faster than I could have imagined. They proceeded to cut it into smaller pieces to grind and cleaned up all the small pieces. They had a great system to watch. Other people came back a week or so later to grind down the large…
Smittys is a great company to work with. Very knowledgeable and competitively priced. We've used them a couple times. Only reason why I'm giving them 4 stars and not 5 is that there was a scheduling mishap to have the stumps ground out after the tress were removed this last time we used them. They took care of it and were apologetic.
Responded for quote within an hour, and removed the tree an hour later.
This is the 3rd year in a row we have used Smitty's Tree Service, with excellent results. The proposal is always detailed by Sandy Stillwell with multiple pictures indicating what trees and branches will be trimmed. The work was completed as outlined by a well-trained crew who were careful to clean up when the job…
They were supposed to cut down two trees, grind the stumps, and install mulch in our retaining walls. All they did was cut the 2 trees and sent an invoice for the full amount of all 3 requested services. Why would we pay for services that we did not receive? We still have received no communication for when they…
Good prices, good work and professional.
Smitty’s was great to work with! Highly recommend!
great experience, and the only problem was the crappy Illinois weather that slowed the process down (1-2 weeks). All stump removal/tree removal was done within a day and price was reasonable given the amount needed to be done. Highly recommend!
The work was done professionally and the execution was very fast. Thank you very much.
Had 1 small shrub removed. Was completed within 5 days of calling. Came back 3 days later to grind truck down. Wonderful, quick service. Also gave me suggestions on what to replace in area. Very knowledgeable.
Had 3 trees removed and 2 trees trimmed recently. Work was performed promptly and clean up done well. Stump grinding yet to be completed but confident it will be done well.
Removed tree seamlessly and carefully! Brought all the right equipment and cleaned up after themselves. Was fun to watch!
I'm happy with the work Smitty's performed. They trimmed 4 large trees for me and also removed a 5th tree (and ground the stump). Incidentally, the crew left a large piece behind, but all it took was a phone call and sending a photo via text, and they sent someone to collect the remainder the very same day I let…
This operation runs like a Swiss clock. Refreshingly great to work with. Just when you thought service like this was no more you come across a gem like this. Keep up the good work and thanks
Needed two trees taken down. Smittys called me the same day and then within a few days had an estimate. A few days after that, the trees were gone quick and easy. They returned after for the stump grinding and my yard looks great! They gave me the Valpak discount without me even having to ask.
Very satisfied with the services performed. Would definitely use their services again.
Smitty’s did a great job on the tree removal, very safe and cleaned up. Stump removal was a few weeks later job went well. Very professional
I used them for the first time and was very pleased with their work. They did a good clean up job too. The employees were friendly and competent.
You can always count on these people. You call up, they give you a day. They show up. Get the work done at a great price. And I even gotta senior citizen discount. Plus a discount for being a preferred customer.
Very professional. Appraisal was quick and detailed with what to expect and price. The crew that came out had all machinery and equipment to do the job of cutting down my tree and then coming back to grind the stump.
Smitty's Tree Service, Inc. Is the REAL DEAL. Two years ago I had them trim 3 trees at my Mom's house. They were prompt, efficient, and cleaned up behind themselves. They also gave me a few tips to take care of the trees. Recently I had them out to my house to remove 4 bushes that had outgrown their spaces in my…
I had one large tree completely removed including it's stump. I had three other fairly large trees trimmed along with their dead branches removed. I had yet another tree that was trimmed also treated for it's root development. Smitty's did an outstanding job. They were timely, they were kind and they took care of…
Smitty's Tree Service did a fantastic job with trimming several trees on our property. They were very friendly and professional. They worked in a safe and courteous manner and it was obvious they are very well trained. I would highly recommend Smitty's for you tree trimming and removal needs.
First of all, I have to mention the arborist, Sandy — she was knowledgeable, professional, and personable. The crew did a fantastic job trimming and pruning my Honey Locust tree. It looks great and now lets more light into the yard while still providing plenty of shade. They also ground a stump for me, and I…
Excellent tree trimming and removal of stump.
Tree removal was professionally done. The team arrived on time and completed required tasks.
Excellent job. Even my neighbor commented on how professional the crew was at getting the tree down without damaging the nearby fence, etc.
I received excellent service from Smitty’s Tree Service. They were very professional and knowledgeable regarding removal of several fruit trees from my property. The work and clean-up were done promptly. I would definitely contact them again for any future needs.
A severe thunderstorm knocked down a large tree behind my house. They quickly cut down the rest of the tree and removed it from my property. They did the job well and quickly!
I have used Smitty’s tree service 3x and I am very happy with their service. I had 2 trees cut and some shrubs. They did an excellent job and cleaned up really good . Prices are good
The team was very professional and went above and beyond when asked to do a branch or two that we missed in the bid.
I called Smitty’s on Monday, Someone came out and gave a quote on Tuesday. The Trees were cut and removed on Wednesday.
This is the company you want to hire for all your tree goods and work.
Extremely Satisfied!! Calling for estimate to actual work from start to finish was exceptional!! Everyone is "Professional", from the Office Personnel to the men doing the actual work.. I "Highly" recommend Smitty's Tree Service.. 10 ++ rating!!
Smitty's came out and took care of business! The results were perfect!
I had 2 trees removed and Smitty's did a good job. The stump grinding was also good. Both jobs were professional with fairly new equipment. I had the stump grinding removed and dirt placed down. I would suggest skipping the seeding as they only threw seed on top of the dirt with no dirt or straw placed over it…
This is a great company they have done a great job they were here when they said and left a clean yard after I would recommend them to anyone they have the latest equipment I was really impressed
You guys did an excellent job couldn’t have had a better company. Everything was perfect thank you very much.
Their commercial service is exceptional! Commercial-5 rating, residential-3 rating. I’ll definitely use them again for any commercial property jobs. My residential experience was just average at best.
Professional and efficient work.
You would think if you paid $2,000 for tree removal end stump removal it would include hauling away the mulch created by grinding the stump
I have used Smitty’s Tree service 3 times. Once to remove a very large tree pushing in my brick garage wall. They rescued the day and saved me many dollars by carefully removing the tree. I only needed to do a small brick wall repair. Recently I had trees removed, that were in danger of falling on my driveway. The…
I'm adding another part to this review. (12-16-23) because Google won't let me add another. It was just about a year later that we had another tree to remove. A giant locust tree! Everything was done fast and professionally. Top of the line machinery got everything done quickly. This time we had debris removal…
I was very pleased with this company from initial contact to completion.
They came early and were fast and efficient.
Smitty’s did a quick, safe and professional job at a good price relative to other companies.
I have used Smitty’s Tree Service for over ten years. Every experience has been great, from the Office Staff who start the process to Sandy the Estimator to the Crew who cut down the tree. They are always helpful and friendly. Cleanup is always included! Highly recommend this company.
I had an excellent experience with Smitty’s Tree Service. I highly recommend
Great job, polite staff great equipment.
Company arrived on the date they said in the time they said did a real good job trim the trees while I wasn’t even here for a while they cleaned up their mess when they were done they raised the yard of all the branches and leaves carded everything away and then come back in a week to grind the stumps. Like they…
Very professional. Very safe . On time . No fuss . No problems .
Wonderful, came out quickly and gave us a quote within an hour. The trucks were here shortly after that, and the large tree that had come down into my neighbours yard was removed
The service was performed well and on time. The estimate was reasonable. The crew was fast and professional. Clean up was thorough. I would hire again.
They were very professional and respectful of our property. When they were finished with the work, they cleared up the area. I’ve already referred them to my friends
Good quality Good Value
By far the best option to clearing overgrown bushes.
Their prices were very competitive. They were very attentive to our needs. They showed up on time, and when they were done they asked us if we were satisfied with their service making sure we were happy. And if course we were. And I would and have recommended Smittys to many others.
Showed up on time, removed tree quickly and cleaned up after themselves. Highly recommend!
The service was excellent. However, I received a phone call from the office claiming they sent me three invoices this month and the call was for me to pay now. I informed the lady that I never received any invoice and I was waiting to receive a notice to pay. Asked her for the balance and told her i was sending her…
Awesome experience. They provided excellent business.
Thanks Smitty’s tree service. Had 4 large pines removed without problem. A call out and they responded in a timely manner, gave me a fair quote and removed trees. No hassle and especially no mess. Very professional!!
Smitty’s came and showed out. They removed two trees & branch in our yards.They had big remote machines and as they were cutting they were cleaning. They had a great assembly line. My big tree in front of my house had bird nest that fell out of it. Two of the crews made a nest & sat the bird in it with crumbled up…
We've used Smitty's Tree Service on several occasions and they always exceeded our expectations; Our property is looking great thanks to Smitty's! Thank you!
They showed up on time and had the work done very quickly. It was a very large tree and watching them work was incredible. Would recommend and will be using in the future for any tree removal needs
The people at Smittys were top notch. From the person I talked to on the phone to the crew that came to do the work. We will definitely be using them again.
Work completed as expected. Very satisfied with the services.
Incredibly responsive and efficient. 9 very mature but diseased pines & 2 maples removed. Several trees trimmed... all in less than 5 hours. Stumps ground out two days after Julie marked lines. Great Job!
Smitty's Tree Svc is great. Price was reasonable. They came out same day, for estimate. Work done on scheduled date. Did everything requested and cleaned up, when finished.
Smitty’s was great from start to finish. Fast initial response and estimate. Had 2 large trees from back yard removed. Brian and his crew were great. Very efficient and neat. Stump grinders came out quickly and were also great. They even answered questions about the truck and took a picture for my 3 year old son. I…
They showed up on time and did a good job. They ground the stumps down deep and raked the chips in a pile. I had no problem replanting trees in the same location. I would use them again.
Prompt arrival time. Very professional. Respectful of my property. Would use again!
Did the job quick and didn't leave a mess. Very professional in their work.
I was completely satisfied from estimate to stump grinding, Sandy Stillwell, estimator, was knowledgeable, informative, professional, and most important, pleasant. She provided excellent customer service by following-up on service experience post-tree removal. Office staff and scheduling department were efficient…
This is the second time I have used this company and they did an excellent job both times. I highly recommend them.
This company is very professional. I have had 4 trees removal from my yard. I am totally satisfied. Yes with all great service you pay for what you get, if you want no worries and problems, call Smitty’s Tree Service. Yes, I did.😊
We were very pleased and happy with Smitty's Tree Service. They are all a very professional and skilled staff who protect the surrounding landscaping as they perform their services.

Smitty's is a professional company and they do an excellent work. I highly recommend them for your exterior landscaping.
Wonderful service, great office staff as well! I have recommended Smitty's to everyone I know who needs trees removed!!!
Smitty's did a great job of removing a very difficult tree from a very tight spot. Excellent work, and I will use them again.
Worked quickly, In a timely manner, were professional and really liked how they cleaned up after their job. Will probably use them again next year, if their prices are still reasonable.
I had a humongous tree on my property that was dead and had a real possibility of falling during a storm and causing damage to property. Smitty's came quickly, provided a written estimate with photos and provided the service immediately after the deal was struck. I would use them again for other trees on my property.
Very professional and cleaned up after removing and stump grinding a decent sized tree in front of my house.
My huge tree in the back yard was knocked down during a big storm. I called Smitty's at 8:30 am, their adjuster was at my house by 9:30. He had a crew come at 1:00 pm and the tree was completely gone by 4:30 pm! That was some great service!
I have used Smitty's Tree Service three times in the last two years. The first job was the removal of 6-7 foot high hedges infront of the front porch and front window. The second job was the removal of what was regarded as the two story high Halloween tree that was great for the season but ugly for the other seasons…
They are very professional. I have used them several times and will not hesitate to use them again.
Fantastic crew. Knowledgeable, kind, courteous, and very professional. They completed the job and cleaned up as if they were never there. I highly recommend Smitty's for your arbor needs.
Smitty's was very professional & did a great job! I've got no complaints.
It was nice and easy. I called and talked with a lovely person on the other end, Smitty's came out and gave me a proper estimate, did the work on time and clean. Great value for the money
First rate company

Smitty's went over and beyond. They were extremely mindful of my neighbors and cleaning up. They were prompt and thorough. Highly recommended .... Great job Smitty's!!!!!!!!
I needed 4 trees on my property removed so I interviewed several tree removal contractors. Smitty's Tree Service Inc had the most experience and offered the best value for my money. Smitty's arrived to my property with many sparkly red trucks that were CLEAN and HUGE. Also, the large crew was culturally diverse and…
The company took down a very large pine tree, quite near our home and the neighbor's fence. No problems occurred. The stump was completely removed. They also trimmed a large amount of limbs and branches that were very high on another tree. Well done. The employees are all excellent. We live in Orland Park. My wife and I recommend this company.
As with any homeowner looking to get a huge project done, I did my research and spoke with 3 other companies. Smitty's got back to me very quickly with scheduling the estimate and was able to answer all of my questions and assure me that they could safely remove the huge maple (with an equally huge canopy over my…
The crew showed up on time and quickly removed three large trees and removed all pieces into the shredder. Came back later and ground the stumps down. Would recommend this service to all.
Their performance was fantastic!! They were very neat, cautious and meticulous. They removed a very large tree without touching the 2 adjacent houses and completed the job very fast. They are definitely the people to call for tree removal.
Smitty's came out to remove a tree and several large bushes in the front of our home. They gave us a free estimate and got us on the schedule quickly. They did great work for a very reasonable price. All of the employees I spoke to and dealt with were very friendly. Highly recommend Smitty's Tree Service!
Great people to work with and their work is very professional. We hired them 3 different times for tree service and the job was always done right.
I have used Smitty's twice and have found them to be professional and through in their work. They take care of everything and remove all the debris from the tree trimming. I also had a large tree removed and they communicated they would return to grind the stump which they did. I highly recommend them as a…
I have used Smitty's twice. Worked with Sandy, she is an Angel, and very knowledgeable! Service was completed on time and as expected. Did beautiful clean up. Will definitely use again!!
Chaz from Smitty's is very responsive and follows up to make sure that work done is correct, and when needed he sends crews who are polite and do good work.
Professional and courteous corporation. Staff with whom I had the pleasure to meet were all friendly and customer oriented.
