This review is long overdue! We reached out to Daniel after the recent snow storm completely destroyed one of our biggest trees. Daniel and his team came out to give us a quote the very next day and was able to help us with the removal. The service was prompt and the price was fair for the job that was required. Daniel is very passionate about his business and we talked about how tree extraction is not his first response. He enjoys taking care of trees, providing them the nutrients they need and helping them prosper, even though that isn't the biggest ROI for his business. I think it's rare to find a business owner who is as passionate as Daniel is about his company. We're looking forward to using his preventative services in the Spring and Summer this year. Thanks so much for all of your help Daniel!

Daniel and his team provided excellent service and removed two trees from my property. One was very close to the house and they handled in meticulous fashion. Very professional and cleaned up well after the job.

What a great experience! Daniel was professional and knowledgeable about all our trees. We have large older trees in Glen Ellyn that needed to be trimmed and wanted to be sure that what we had done was best for their overall health. Daniel came out and quoted the work that needed to be done, then arrived on time the day of trimming, coordinated the power disconnect with ComEd ( not blaming him for ComEd not coming back until after 6pm to reconnect) and completed the trimming and clean up to our satisfaction. Our trees look great. His team was friendly and professional. Thanks Daniel.

I didn’t even know these types of services were available until my wife told me our trees were in trouble. I’ve never heard of anyone contacting a “tree service” before. But when I look around my neighborhood, I am now noticing that so many trees are starting to show signs of distress and other issues. By the time we noticed this in our own backyard, it was too late for two of our trees and they had to be removed by Daniel and his team.
I have 12 trees front and back in a suburban neighborhood. Daniel came in and offered his advice for each. My wallet started shaking in fear in my back pocket. Again, who needs “tree service?” WTH.
I have never been more wrong.
Daniel came in and pruned and OMG, what a difference. I have one tree in my front yard I wanted to get rid of. It was too mangy and large. After Daniel and his team corrected and pruned, it looks like a completely different tree. It’s amazing. They did this to all my trees. They have a lift that takes them to the top of the tree. They all look so uniform and a perfect cylindrical shape through the canopy. Just looking at them all now is very satisfying. And the trees are healthier. And hopefully, happier, and will stick around. I have to replace at least one I lost. I hope never to have to do that again.
I also had a maple that was distressed due to root strangulation. I could see the leaves were lighter colored at the tips of all the branches and it’s a huge tree. Daniel brought in this incredible machine that blows away all the dirt around the base of tree and roots so his team can cut off the roots causing the strangulation. It’s called root de-girdling. Hard to believe a tree does not know better than to do this but I can see it in so many trees I look at now. If you can see the roots above the flare of the tree, you probably should get a consult for tree de-girdling if you want to keep the tree for as long as possible.
Daniel and his team, all of his team, are extremely knowledgeable. One gentleman was a tree historian for the city of Chicago. Several were actual certified arborists. So much knowledge and they answered every question we had. Very patient with us and explained all they could in lament terms.
As much as I did not want to spend the money initially, I feel as if this was money well spent. I’m not losing any more trees. They also offer to be a consultant for any tree plantings, if you use a landscaper. I will be utilizing this service when I plant the new tree. More money now, but if it is planted correctly, then I should never need to replace it. We lost the two trees as they were not planted at the correct depth. I’m still upset about it.
Lastly, these are not landscapers. These are certified arborists. Very different. My sincere appreciation to Daniel and his team for all they did!

(I included a pic of the root-degirdling process. You can see the huge root coming over the top. There were several roots doing the same. Strangling their own body. Very odd a tree does this.)

Very professional and extremely prompt response. We had a massive dead stump that was next to the house and Daniel came out and removed it within 10 min. We definitely highly recommend him and will be using him in the future for sure.

I don't typically post reviews, but I decided to review my recent tree trimming. Daniel with Green Extraction Technologies trimmed 5 trees and removed 2 small shrubs for us. The price was fair and his crew was top notch. I had another tree company do work previously but decided to use Daniel this time. They did a great job and I will certainly use them again in the future.

He was responsive, professional and knowledgeable and most importantly safe. His crew took the time to do a good job in a safe manner.

My husband and I used Green Extraction Technologies to remove several dead or invasive trees, level and remove small stumps and foliage along our fence line, and prune a large maple. They are an amazing company to work with, really very talented and knowledgeable. Daniel was incredibly professional and helpful with our needs and the fact that he is a certified arborist was really important to us. Not only did we fully trust the talent of these guys, but it was very affordable!! Highly recommend

We called Daniel to get an estimate on removing a tree at our new home. He responded quickly and not only provided us with an estimate but also with information about the trees on our property and written info. on those species that were invasive. His crew did an amazing job with pruning our trees and removing the one tree. Daniel spent a significant amount of time educating us about proper care of the trees we have. It’s very clear he has strong desire to preserve and restore nature and the knowledge to do that. If you have any concerns or questions about the trees in your yard or need some work done we highly recommend Daniel.
