Pro Tree Service handles tree service in Darien, IL — removals, trimming and pruning, stump grinding and 24-hour storm response. We have worked DuPage County since 1989.
A 1960s Village With 1960s Trees
Darien incorporated in 1969, assembled out of subdivisions that had gone in over the preceding years. That history is visible in the canopy: the trees were planted together, they grew together, and they are hitting the end of their useful life together.
What that means in practice is that a street does not give you one problem tree. It gives you five over a decade. It is worth walking the whole property once rather than reacting to whichever limb comes down first.
Preserve Edges
Properties along the south edge of the county back onto forest preserve ground. A preserve tree that fails onto your property is a different conversation from one in your own yard, and the boundary matters. We work to the property line and no further, and we will tell you plainly when the tree causing you trouble is not yours to remove.
We are not going to invent local color about Darien 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
The ash planted when Darien built out is largely gone now, killed by emerald ash borer, and a fair amount of it is still standing. Dead ash dries out and turns brittle, which makes it harder and costlier to take down safely with every year that passes.
Whose Tree Is It
The parkway tree — the strip between the sidewalk and the street — is often owned by the village rather than the property owner, which means removing it is not your call to make. Requirements are not uniform across DuPage: some villages want a contractor registration on file before work starts, some want a permit for anything in the right-of-way, some want neither. We confirm what Darien actually requires 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.
