Pro Tree Service handles tree service in Lombard, IL — removals, trimming and pruning, stump grinding and 24-hour storm response. We have worked DuPage County since 1989.
The Lilac Village Has an Old Canopy
Lombard is known for its lilacs, but the trees that generate the calls are the parkway maples and oaks that went in when the village built out. Much of Lombard developed before and just after the war, which means mature stock on lots that were platted narrow.
That combination decides the method. A tree that would be a straightforward fell on an acre becomes a rigging job here, lowered in sections over a driveway with a garage on one side. The price reflects the access, not the diameter — which is worth knowing when you compare quotes.
Deadwood Over the Drive
The most common call we take in Lombard is not a removal. It is deadwood over a driveway or a roofline on a tree that is otherwise sound. That is a trim, not a takedown, and it is a fraction of the cost. A crew that quotes removal on a tree that needs pruning is either not looking closely or is not being straight with you.
We are not going to invent local color about Lombard 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
Emerald ash borer went through DuPage years ago and the standing dead ash have been drying since. Brittle wood is dangerous wood to work, so a dead ash gets more expensive to take down every season it stays up. If one is grey and bare, start there.
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 Lombard 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.
