Pro Tree Service handles tree service in Naperville, IL — removals, trimming and pruning, stump grinding and 24-hour storm response. We have worked DuPage and Will counties since 1989.
Naperville Is Two Different Tree Jobs
The older core around downtown and Naper Settlement sits on smaller lots with a canopy that has been there a long time. Those are rigging jobs — no room to drop anything, and usually a garage or a neighbour’s fence in the way.
Then there is everything built from the 1980s onward, which is most of the city. Those subdivisions went in with trees planted all at once, and that stock is now twenty-five to forty years old. That is exactly the age where Bradford pear starts splitting at the crotch and silver maple starts shedding limbs. It rarely arrives as one tree — it arrives as a run of them down a street within a few years of each other.
The West Branch
The West Branch of the DuPage River runs through town, and the ground along it holds water. In saturated soil a tree does not snap partway up. It goes over at the root plate and brings the root ball with it, which is a bigger cleanup than it looks from the road. If your lot backs onto the river or sits low, those trees are worth a look before a storm rather than after.
We are not going to invent local color about Naperville 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 went into Naperville subdivisions by the thousand and emerald ash borer moved through years ago. What is left standing has been drying ever since, and dry ash is brittle ash — it will not hold a climber the way sound wood does. That is why the price climbs the longer one stands rather than falling.
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 Naperville 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.
