We are beyond happy with the work done by Extreme Tree. We had 16 ash trees that needed to be removed at our new house and Extreme Tree's quote was far and away the most reasonable we received. They had to postpone starting the job due to several emergencies (wind and rain storms) but we were not in a hurry and they were great about keeping us in the loop. They offered guidance at each stage of the project and they did a great job with the stump grinding, even in some tricky spots. We would recommend them to anyone!

Extreme Tree and Landscape did a WONDERFUL job on removing three trees from our house! Initially we wanted trees just dropped and we would do the rest, but after realizing we are not that ambitious we gave them a call and they came back to help us out. There was a miscommunication on my part (not knowing tree names) and they were sure to fix the error and make it right with us. I would HIGHLY recommend Extreme Tree and Landscape and will definitely be using them in the future to remove more trees. Thank you all SO much!

A large Maple tree fell in our yard after a storm. Contacted numerous tree services many never returned my call. Extreme Tree was the only one who answered my call (didnt get an answering machine like the others) and was out later in the day to give me an estimate. The cost was very reasonable especially compared to the other estimates I received and Extreme Tree was by far the most professional of those who came out to give me an estimate. Just over a week later they came out and cleaned up the debris and took down the rest of the tree. They could have come sooner but I needed to move some

Extreme Tree Review
We had a large number of dead and dying ash trees on our property. Some posed a risk to people and structures; all presented a huge eyesore. I t quickly became obvious that it was not feasible or cost effective to remove all of the trees. Chuck and Chris Andolino, the father and son owners of Extreme Tree, recommended that we agree to a two day contract to remove as many trees as possible. That required some trust on our part, but it turned out to be an excellent recommendation. Their team was "extremely" hard working and conscientious. They were flexible and worked with us

Absolutely wonderful! They are the 4th tree company weve dealt with over the past 22 years. They are extremely the best in every way! The father Chuck was very knowledgeable, friendly, courteous and extremely professional and hes past all those qualities on to his son Chris. They were both a pleasure to work with and their crew was extremely efficient. They were very deliberate in making sure the surrounding areas were protected during their work and cleaned and cleared everything after. Highly recommend.

Chuck and his team were safe, courteous, punctual, reliable and highly professional in their care for all trees and my personal property. This attitude was consistently applied from the initial estimate through job completion and clean up. Work was on/near electrical wires so the job certainly had consequential challenges.They are now my go to tree crew. Thanks again. Safe days to you all.
