Tree Service FAQs

How much does tree removal cost?

It depends on the tree’s size, species, condition, and location — a small tree in an open yard costs far less to remove than a large tree overhanging a house. That’s why we offer free estimates: it’s the only way to get an accurate price. Call (708) 665-4874 or request one through the online form.

Are you a professional tree service?

Yes — The Best Tree Guys specialize in tree removal, trimming, stump grinding, and storm cleanup across the southwest Chicago suburbs. Ask what’s included and get pricing in writing before work begins.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes — request one through the online form or by phone. The work gets assessed and explained, and pricing is put in writing.

Can you save my tree, or does it have to come down?

Sometimes a tree can be saved with pruning, cabling, or deadwood removal. Sometimes it can’t. During the free estimate, you’ll get a straightforward assessment of whether the tree is worth saving.

Do you grind stumps?

Yes. Stump grinding is one of our core services — stumps ground below grade, backfilled, and cleaned up. Ask about bundling it with tree removal to save over booking separately.

Will you clean up when the job is done?

Ask what’s included: reputable tree services typically list cleanup and debris hauling in the written quote — not a pile of branches left for you to deal with.

How fast can you respond to storm damage?

We offer emergency tree service. For storm emergencies — a tree on your house, a blocked driveway, a dangerous lean — call (708) 665-4874 right away.

Is it safe to remove a tree myself?

We strongly advise against it. Tree removal is one of the most dangerous jobs in home services — falling limbs, unpredictable trunks, and power lines cause serious injuries every year. Professional rigging, proper equipment, and insurance are standard in the industry. Ask any company you hire about theirs. The risk isn’t worth it.

When is the best time to trim trees?

Late fall through early spring, when trees are dormant, is ideal for most pruning. But dead, broken, or hazardous limbs should be removed any time of year. After heavy snow or strong winds, it’s smart to have your trees inspected.

What areas do you serve?

We serve the southwest Chicago suburbs, including Orland Park and the surrounding Chicago suburbs. If you’re nearby and unsure, call (708) 665-4874 and ask — we likely cover you.
