Ajax Tree Service

These are the best guys out there!
I contacted a few people for quick quotes. Steve and his team got back to me right away — the first ones actually. They came out the next day and he quoted the project right then and there.
We went with Steve and his team because they are insured, their prices were right, and it’s a family business and I’d rather my money support a Chicagoland family business.
We had 1 old pine tree removed, another pine trimmed and a neighbor’s tree that was reaching into our yard trimmed.
The work was done quickly and they cleaned EVERYTHING! You could even barely notice a tree had been taken down that afternoon.
A great business to work with.

Steve and his company cut two trees and trimmed another one. They came out on time, did a quick and thorough job and cleaned up after themselves.
And the offered me a price better than the other three companies I spoke with…
Highly recommend!

Steve hauled a tree from our yard for a great price. He came quickly, worked quickly, and even gave us some great tips for the rest of our yard on his way out.

Steve and his team are terrific. We had a large tree limb crack and was left hanging on another limb extending into the street. Ajax responded immediately and Steve did a masterful job of bringing down the limb piece by piece so that no damage was caused to cars or metal fencing. Problem solved!

had an estimate appointment scheduled for 8:30am, he woke me up, calling at 6:20am to tell me it was 35degrees out, so he did not feel like standing out in the cold, he rescheduled the next day for 8:30 am… he never showed up, i called and and left a message… never responded, never called back

Ajax responds quickly and provides excellent service! We had a tree with limbs that had fallen after a large storm. Ajax came out the same day to provide a quote and assess the damages. They returned the following day to remove all limbs and cut the tree back. Fast, reliable service! Highly recommend.

Called this company to get an estimate for removal of a dozen or so trees and trimming of a dozen or so more for our condo association. I rearranged my work schedule to meet the owner Steve a second time (he canceled the first appointment at the last minute) at our Lakeview property. Although he appears very knowledgeable of different tree species, the business professionalism of him and his staff are horrible. It has been 7-​days of lies and daily phone calls just trying to pull the estimate for the work out of these people. Still no estimate! Steve promised an estimate the next day. The woman in his office promised an estimate two days later. The same woman promised to have Steve write it on the 4^th day we called. We have literally left messages or been lied to about getting an estimate every single day for a week. Pathetic!
So, as it would get great to be able to leave a review of work performed, it’s impossible when this company isn’t professional enough to even get a quote or return phone call from. Maybe they are only good with removing single trees and stumps?!? So, if you have a property that has more than a single tree, good luck!

Ajax Tree Service trimmed two large trees in our small backyard in Lakeview. They trimmed the trees exactly as presented in the quote and made sure to protect all cables and wires in the process. They cleaned up all of the resulting debris and were efficient and professional.

Steve and his team performed exactly as promised. They were quick and did the job right. If you need a tree removed, these are the guys to do it.

I called early in the week for an estimate, Steve came out the next day and on Saturday he came and took down an extremely large blue spruce tree and trimmed branches from an intrusive birch tree. He was very efficient, considerate of neighbors, and did an excellent job of cleaning up the branches and tried very hard not to damage extraneous garden plants in the process. I was very happy with his services and would unconditionally recommend him.

Awesome family team! I called on Thursday, got a quote that evening — tree down and backyard swept and power blown on Sat 8am. I paid cash. Highly recommended for tree take down.

Called on a Thursday, he checked out the stump and gave me an estimate over the phone while I was at work on Friday, and then came back on Saturday to complete the job. I was stuck in traffic when they arrived Saturday, but they were very understanding and just finishing the job just as I pulled up. Doesn’t get easier than that! I learned that Ajax is a family business spanning generations, and I could tell by their great work that they definitely take pride in their business.

After posting my initial review, I received a call back from Steve. He scheduled a time to come back to finish the work. He showed up on time, finished the job and cleaned up.

Steve came with his machine and was very careful to not harm any of my other landscaping. He took out the tree stump and cleaned up the entire area in a short amount of time. His price was very fare, and I would highly recommend him!

I called AJAX Tree Service to have a medium size tree removed in my back yard. We had a ton of power/​cable/​phone lines mixed into the branches of the tree and the tree just seemed like a huge hazard so we needed it removed. I called their main number and right away booked an appointment for them to come out and give me an estimate. Compared to other companies their price was very affordable for the size of tree and how difficult it would be to get removed.
They were right on time for the estimate. Talked about the procedure and gave me a reasonable estimate. What sold me was they were able to get the tree out so quickly. Many other companies said it would be anywhere between 1 – 2 weeks and based on the weather. I liked that they knew which day they could come out and was only a few days later after the estimate.
They removed our tree with no issues and took all the mess with them, left nothing behind. In the end, they had incredible communication and they were very friendly. Couldn’t be more happy with their service. Great job guys! I will definitely refer you to anyone that needs tree removal.

5 stars are not enough for these guys! I needed evergreens removed that had taken a beating from last years polar vortex. Called Steve and he gave me an extremely reasonable quote. These guys showed up promptly today and I seriously could not believe how quickly they work. They even used a blower to clean up the leaves in front of my house. Dont even bother looking anywhere else. Ajax rules!

Amazing service and their disposition is so friendly. They came and did even more work than was included in the already very reasonable price. I highly recommend them for whatever tree removal needs you have. They truly care about there customers and also about safety. They are knowlegeable in their business and I love that it is family operated and owned.

Ajax totally deserves all the 5 star ratings. Ryan and his team were great to work with. I really appreciated their diligence in cleaning up the debris from all the tree trimming. Reasonably priced, on time and really efficient.

Steve arrived earlier than the appointment by a few minutes and started right away on removing the tree that we discussed over the phone. His price was reasonable and he got the job done quickly without any problems. After the job he cleaned up the area nicely. I would highly recommend using this company. One thing to note, they do not accept credit cards so have a check or cash ready.

Another amazing review for Steve. He came out and took a stump out that was below grade that the city did a bad job of taking care of. I had a bit of a mushroom farm going, but it looks amazing now.
Steve was here early for his time slot and ground down further than he said he would to get everything out. He was patient with my questions because I was nervous about the stump being in the parkway and hitting gas and water lines, and just did an awesome job. I would recommend this guy to anyone!
