Pro Tree Service handles tree service in Deerfield, IL — removals, trimming and pruning, stump grinding and 24-hour storm response. We have worked Chicago and the north suburbs since 1989.
Tree Work in Deerfield
Deerfield built out through the 1950s and 1960s, and the parkway trees planted with those subdivisions are now sixty and seventy years old. That is the age at which a tree stops being a maintenance item and starts being a decision — large enough to reach the roof, heavy enough that a failure is expensive, and often close enough to the house that a removal has to be rigged down rather than felled.
We are not going to invent local color about Deerfield that we cannot stand behind. What we can tell you is how we work: we prune to ANSI A300 standards, every removal includes haul-away of the wood and brush, and we grind stumps four to eight inches below grade. Our full service pages cover the detail — trimming and pruning, tree and bush removal, stump grinding and land and lot clearing.
Dead Ash
Ash was planted heavily in north suburban subdivisions, and emerald ash borer went through years ago. What is left standing is dead wood that has been drying since. A dead ash does not hold still — it turns brittle and loses the strength a climber needs to work it safely, which is why the price goes up the longer it stands rather than down. If there is a gray, bare ash on the property, that is the one to deal with first.
Whose Tree Is It
The parkway tree — the strip between the sidewalk and the street — is often owned by the village rather than the homeowner, which means removing it is not your call to make. Requirements differ from one town to the next, and Deerfield sits across a county line, so they are not always what a neighbouring village would tell you. We confirm what the village actually requires — registration, permit, or neither — before we bid the job, not after you have accepted a price.
Storm Damage
We answer the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and we work by hazard rather than call order. If there are wires involved, stay away from the tree, call 911, then call ComEd at 1-800-334-7661. See emergency and storm response.
