Commercial Tree Services

A commercial property fails differently from a house. The tree that needs attention is usually over a parking stall, a loading dock or the walkway your tenants use at eight in the morning, and the work has to happen without closing any of it. Pro Tree Service has provided commercial tree service across Chicago, the suburbs and northwest Indiana since 1989, on grounds ranging from a single retail pad to a multi-building campus.

Property Managers And Homeowners Associations

Managing agents rarely need a tree opinion. They need a number they can put in a budget, a certificate of insurance naming the right entity, and a crew that turns up when the notice said it would.

We quote in writing, itemized by tree and by task, so an estimate survives a board meeting without a follow-up phone call. Where an association carries several properties, one point of contact covers all of them, and we will walk a portfolio annually and flag what is likely to need attention in the next two budget cycles rather than waiting for it to fail. Certificates naming the association, the management company or both are issued before work starts, not after somebody asks.

Retail, Office And Industrial Sites

Scheduling is usually the constraint rather than the tree. A drive lane cannot be blocked during trading hours, a dock cannot be closed on a delivery day, and nobody wants a chipper running outside an office window at ten in the morning.

We work early, late and on weekends where the site needs it, stage equipment off the traffic route, and clear debris the same day so the lot opens clean. On industrial parcels the recurring problems are volunteer growth along fence lines, limbs into building envelopes and roots lifting pavement — all cheaper to handle on a schedule than as an emergency.

Schools, Hospitals And Campuses

Institutional grounds add rules that ordinary commercial work does not have. Access windows are narrow, pedestrian routes cannot be interrupted, and some sites require background checks or badging before a crew is admitted.

We plan campus work around session times and shift changes, keep equipment and drop zones away from routes still in use, and give facilities staff the notice they need to redirect foot traffic. Storm work on a campus is triaged the same way: whatever threatens an occupied building or an entrance is dealt with first.

Developers And General Contractors

Construction is where tree work meets municipal code, and it is the most expensive place to get it wrong. Across Chicagoland, a great many villages require a tree preservation plan approved before a demolition or building permit will issue, protect trees above a stated diameter, and charge replacement by the inch when a protected tree comes down without authorization. Fines in the region run from a few hundred dollars to several hundred per diameter inch, and the appraised value of the tree can be charged on top of the fine.

We handle land and lot clearing, critical root zone fencing, and selective removal to a preservation plan. We also know what the local code actually says — we have read the tree ordinance for well over a hundred municipalities in the area, and you can check yours on our service area pages before you bid the job.

Insurance, Paperwork And Standards

Our crews are led by ISA Certified Arborists and work to ANSI A300 pruning standards and ANSI Z133 for safety. Our people are employees on our own payroll and carry workers’ compensation — we do not hand your site to a subcontractor you have not vetted. Certificates of insurance naming your entity as additional insured are available on request, and we hold bonds and contractor registrations across more than thirty Chicagoland municipalities.
