Josh and his team did an amazing job taking down my tree, it was over 3 stories tall and about 55 inches in diameter! Josh suspected that some of the tree could fall one day and after cutting it down, we had no idea just how rotted it was. I'm so glad we decided to take it down instead of just trimming it. Highly recommend Josh and SavATree, I would use their service again! Thank you!

Joshua was amazing to work with! He came out on a short notice and gave me a fast, honest, EXCELLENT quote! They were scheduled out a little but they came early, accommodating my time request, and finishing the tree trimming within 2 hours and it was done flawlessly! Will definitely use again.

His crew was out first thing the following morning with the spider net and all the equipment...

We requested they leave us logs for firewood and potential artistic use. They are...

Kevin White and an assistant were very knowledgeable about the process of obtaining a permit from Evanston and what to expect regarding how the work would proceed. The assistant, whose name escapes me, (so sorry!) was especially helpful when I was just about to give up on the project due to the city taking so long to approve the permit (with little communication from them in the interim) and...
