Dawsons Tree Service

What a wonderful experience. I called and told them what we needed. They left a proposal on my door within a day or two. I called with questions, which were cheerfully answered. I signed and mailed the proposal back to them and within 3 days the tree was gone. Our huge tree was down, ground up, yard cleaned up in about 3o minutes! Beautiful, clean equipment and nice crew. I thought the price was very reasonable and was so relieved that my husband gave up the idea of doing it ourselves because of it. I wish all companies were such a pleasure to work with.

We needed to have some arborvitaes removed. This was one of the 3 companies that responded. The quote received was about ¹⁄₃ less than the other 2 companies. We were a bit leery about going with this firm because of the large price difference, but the reviews seemed good. The emails and conversations with people at this company were pleasant and productive so we chose them. A few weeks later, I get a phone call, they are ready to come out, and I say great. The next day, the guys come out, take down the trees, do some stump grinding and clean up. A section of fence needed removing to get the stump grinder into the backyard. I expected that I would have to do this, but they removed it for me, then put it back when done. Everyone I spoke to was polite and helpful. Again, the price was great and so were the crew. We would definitely contact this company again for tree work … but we are out of trees right now.

From start to finish we had a great experience using Dawsons. The gal on the phone was extremely friendly, someone came out for a quote within a couple of days time, the price was very reasonable, and the team on site was very accommodating, fast, and cleaned everything so one would not know I had two trees removed. I will recommend Dawsons to friends and family and will use them again if needed.

EXCELLENT company! Highly recommend these guys. They have the expertise to see what needs to be trimmed off. Very polite, friendly… GREAT clean up! The estimate was given and follow up was spot on. Price was competitive. So glad i hired them. I will definitely call them again.

Dawson’s Tree Service was very responsive to our initial inquiry and came out within two days to provide an estimate. The estimate was provided in writing at the time of survey and done in a professional manner. The cost was extremely competitive (other estimates did not even come close to how low this was). Within a week Dawson’s arrived and had removed the trees and debris. There were no hidden fees or agendas; just quick, fast, good service. We will use this vendor again in the future (we have a ton of trees) and highly recommend them!

Fantastic!!! We had a large silver maple that needed a good haircut. Lots of suckers and dead branches that were very high up. We also had several branches extending over our garage and parked cars and also electric lines to our home. When the gentleman came out he was very professional, friendly, gave advice to the health of this tree and also another tree which we were concerned about. His quote was for $ 650. We had two quotes of a $ 1,000 and one $ 2,000. I wondered how much they would remove for the $ 650. But the came highly recommended. It was a fantastic job. The tree looks great, took everything and more. They did bring a bucket and removed every branch that was overhanging the electric lines and garage. They worked quickly, efficiently, they asked a question about a few branches and my wife said I would really want those branches taken down, no questions, bam, done. They raked the yard and it looked cleaner than when they arrived. Less than two hours done. This was not a little job as this tree is over 60 feet tall. A friend of mine, who does landscaping, said it looked fantastic as well. Five stars baby. Great job. Highly recommended!!!

What a rip off. I had them estimate a 30 ft dead ash tree in my backyard to be removed. Quoted me $ 2385.00. Then had another service give me an estimate the next day. $ 975 with the stump removed! Maybe they thought they could rip me off because I have a power boat in the driveway-​thinking I have money to waste. Ha jokes on you fools. Only reason I gave them two stars is because the CSR girl was polite.

John and his team are as good as it gets. We had a very complicated tree removal done in our back yard. Sadly our 150 to 250 year old Elm tree was infected with Dutch Elm Disease. This was no normal Elm tree — based on the 6 quotes we received, everyone said this was probably the biggest Elm tree in all of Du Page County and certainly the largest in Elmhurst (the diameter of the tree was in excess of 70 inches). John was incredibly responsive from the initial phone call to the final removal. He and his team were complete pros and performed the incredibly complicated project with extreme care. While sad to lose the tree, we could not have been more happy with the service that Dawson’s provided. I would highly recommend them!

Dawson Tree Service is about the easiest company I have ever had to work with. After I called the office to request a quote, I had someone out the next day to evaluate an apple tree in our backyard (the tree is beautiful, but I was sick of picking up apples for an hour every week before I could even mow the lawn).
Their pricing was great, and I was told they had a three-​week backlog (not hard to believe, as good as the work they do is). I got a call within a few days to say they had an opening come available, and I jumped on it.
When the crew arrived, they got right to work and started cutting up the tree and removing large branches quickly and efficiently. The whole process took under an hour, as they ground the stump and even raked up all the apples that had fallen (easily over a hundred pounds’ worth).
Apparently, John usually comes by the location after the job is done to collect payment, but he had gotten delayed. He called me to arrange payment, took my credit card over the phone, and that was that.
Easy to deal with, courteous crewmembers, and efficient removal. Couldn’t have asked for more!

These guys are very reliable and good. I’ve used their service several times over the past few years. I only use this company for my tree and shrub work.
They have reasonable prices. They get the job done within a timely period and they work quickly when they are here.
I docked one star because this summer we ran into the problem of calling them several times and having no one answer and no answering machine to leave a message. We eventually got through but I don’t understand why at the very least I did not reach an answering machine.

They came and quoted last Friday. Seemed very reasonable at $ 160 to remove dead branch and have general pruning on large spruce in our front yard. Called office to accept proposal and girl told me they would come by sometime within next 4 – 6 weeks and would leave bill in mailbox. They came Monday morning, wow! So fast! Very impressed.
