Testimonials

They did a fabulous job. I highly recommend Economy Tree Service. We had our front yard tree taken out first and it went very smoothly. They have great teamwork. I think it took them 3 days from start to finish with the front tree and the cleanup was wonderful you could hardly tell the were there. wonderful wonderful!!! Then with our backyard tree that one is more challenging so we had a few weeks in-between that we were waiting on the weather to corporate and once it did boom they were on it. It took a week for the back tree but it was a monster and very difficult to remove. They are very good at the difficult part of it they roped everything off and once again the teamwork was amazing. They were there every morning by 8am and finish for the day around 4pm. The cleanup for the backyard tree was very good also. We had some wood we wanted from the tree and they stacked it up good for us. They really did go over and beyond what we expected. A+++!!! Great Job Scott!!

Economy Tree gave us a very competitive bid and was prepared for the difficult terrain with all the proper safety equipment.  They removed a wide variety of trees in all shapes and sizes.  Initially we had intended to sell our home and thought a river view would enhance the capacity to sell the house.  After Scott finished we realized we loved the view so much that we didn’t want to move!  We then hired them to prune and trim our front trees.  As before they did a professional, responsible and fantastic job with our front yard 10 or more trees.  They will return tomorrow to remove a dead oak in our woods.  I will hire them again!

The entire crew of Economy Tree was very professional and knowledgeable. It was very evident that Scott, the owner, knew a lot about trees and the proper way to care for them. Scott came to our house at the beginning of June along with a few other tree removal companies to give us an estimate on the removal of the tree. His quote was very competitive with the other companies. We decided to use Economy Tree based on Scott’s professionalism and obvious knowledge about trees. We signed a contract and gave our deposit at the beginning of July. Unfortunately, due to a LOT of hot weather (with multiple days close to triple digits) and emergency tree removals, the crew was not able to get to us until late in July. Even though they had to push the work back, Scott was always very good about keeping us informed about what was going on and was very polite and apologetic about having to change plans. Once the crew arrived at our house, they worked very carefully and again were VERY professional. Due to the amount of damage to the tree and the safety issues involved with climbing the tree, the crew took about 3 half-days to complete the work. Once the work was done, we were so happy with the result! They did a wonderful job of cleaning up any debris and saw dust (they even climbed ladders to clean sawdust off our roof and our neighbor’s roof!). Aside from the tree and the two stumps being gone, you couldn’t tell that the crew had been there at all. They left our yard as clean (if not cleaner!) than it was when they arrived. We can finally rest easy knowing that we no longer have to worry about this problematic tree falling on our house during a storm. And if that wasn’t enough, Scott was willing to answer questions that I had about the other trees in our yard. I would recommend Economy Tree Service to anyone looking for good, quality workmanship at a competitive price. Thank you Scott!

Left a message to get an estimate for removing 3 trees and they called back the next morning to setup an appointment.  Scott came out the next day to do the estimate at the scheduled time.  I could tell he has a passion for this business. He thoroughly explained the process and completed the estimate.  After comparing with other bids and doing some more research, we decided to go with Economy Tree Service.  They were competitively priced and I had watched them carefully and successfully remove an extremely large tree that was close to power lines etc. from a nearby house a few years earlier.  I called to proceed with the job and Scott called back the next day to confirm.  When Scott came by to get the signed contract and deposit, we agreed that they would start on 10/30/13.  They showed up about 7:45 am, setup and staged their equipment, and were working by 8:15.  Noticed that they were all wearing protective equipment, which was good to see.  The crew worked together very well and very efficiently even though the weather conditions were less than desirable (rained every day while they were here).  Each day before they left, the site was clean and Scott let me know when they were leaving and what they expected to get done the next day.  I felt the job was completed in a very timely manner despite the rainy weather conditions.  On the final day Scott let me know when they were done and we walked the yard together, which was thoroughly cleaned as expected (cleaner than when they started since the trees were already losing their leaves before they started).  I was totally satisfied with the professional manner of the work that was completed by Scott and his crew, and the whole process from start to finish in general.  All calls I made were returned within a day.  I would highly recommend them to others and would definitely not hesitate to use them in the future.

I don’t usually take the time to review a product or service, but I made exception in this case because I was so impressed with the quality of service provided by Scott Swearinger and his crew. My wife and I needed three large maple trees and one large locust tree trimmed at our residence in Andover, IL. One of the maple trees had a great deal of deadwood in it, but the tree was worth salvaging. We also needed an old, nonproductive apple tree removed. Scott is a very knowledgeable certified arborist. He and his crew did an excellent job (for a fair price) with our trees. They really look nice and we can’t wait for Spring to see how they look once they leaf out! Some of these trees were near our house and electric service line and were a potential risk. After the work that Scott and his crew performed, I’m now more at ease about any potential damage risk these trees present to our property. I am extremely pleased with the tree service and cleanup Scott and his crew performed.

I obtained several bids prior to deciding on Urban Tree. The owner, Scott Swearinger, impressed me as being straightforward, honest, and professional; he didn’t try any scare tactics, unlike two other contractors, but laid out the possible courses of action and answered all of my questions. His military background and website suggested he would get the job done, and he lived up to it. I was most impressed by him (out of four bidders), so I was pretty happy that his bid was also the lowest by a significant amount. He arranged the work quickly, showed up on site with his work crew, gave specific instructions, and introduced me.

His crew did a fabulous job on a tough bit of work; a tight space with a very tall tree and two nearby houses. They were organized, coordinated, and efficient; there were the necessary breaks to rehydrate, but no standing around watching others work. They answered my questions, followed through on the few things I requested, cleaned up, let me look over the job before they left, and were altogether friendly, polite, and professional. There was no impatience if I had a request; they just did it with a smile. They seemed pretty happy, too, which in my experience is the sign of a good working atmosphere and a good crew.

I would absolutely use this group again, and recommend them to my friends and neighbors. They did a great job of taking my interests into account and accomplishing their task. I am completely satisfied with their work.

Scott did a great job very knowledgeable and the cleaned the work are when finished I would highly recommend him.

I had a large hackberry tree uproot, fall and hit another hackberry tree and caused it to fall onto my garage. I called up Urban Tree Care, they came immediately out to get a game plan on it, and were there the next day and remove both trees off of my garage. They also came and removed an extremely dead ash tree that was towering over the back of my house. They removed all 3 of the trees extremely quick and not a single piece of the trees came anywhere near my house nor my garage. I work in property management and deal with a lot of contractors who claim to be pros, and I can tell you without a doubt that these guys are the real deal. Extremely knowledgeable and highly skilled. If I ever need to I will not hesitate to call them again

I have known Scott & his family and used their tree service since 2008.  They’ve been out several times over the past 17 years for pruning and removals as needed.  They’ve helped save and improve the health of many trees planted by the arborist who used to live here.  I’ve recommended him to several friends who have used him and they are glad I made the connection.

We’ve had Scott and Brock do work at our place for years, and they always do a great job.  Highly recommended.
