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 a tenant walkway. All of it is in use by eight in the morning. Meanwhile 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. We work grounds ranging from a single retail pad to a multi-building campus.

Commercial Tree Service For Property Managers And HOAs

Managing agents rarely need a tree opinion. They need a number they can put in a budget. They also need a certificate of insurance naming the right entity. Above all they need a crew that shows 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. Furthermore, we walk a portfolio annually and flag what is likely to need attention in the next two budget cycles. That beats waiting for a tree to fail. We issue certificates naming the association, the management company or both 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 close during business hours, and a dock cannot close on a delivery day. Nobody wants a chipper running outside an office window at ten in the morning either. That is what separates commercial tree service from residential work more than any difference in the trees.

We work early, late and on weekends where the site needs it. Then we 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 of them are 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, and pedestrian routes have to stay open. Moreover, some sites require background checks or badging before a crew goes in.

We plan campus work around session times and shift changes. We also keep equipment and drop zones away from routes still in use. Then we give facilities staff the notice they need to redirect foot traffic. Storm work on a campus follows the same order of priority. Whatever threatens an occupied building or an entrance comes first. Commercial tree service here is as much a logistics job as a climbing one.

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, many villages require a tree preservation plan approved before a demolition or building permit will issue. They also protect trees above a stated diameter. Furthermore, they 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. In addition, a village can charge the appraised value of the tree on top of the fine.

We handle land and lot clearing, critical root zone fencing, and selective removal to a preservation plan. On a build site, commercial tree service is as much about the paperwork as the cutting. We also know what the local code actually says. Indeed, we have read the tree ordinance for well over a hundred municipalities in the area. You can check yours on our service area pages before you bid the job.

Insurance, Paperwork And Commercial Tree Service Standards

ISA Certified Arborists lead our crews. They work to ANSI A300 pruning standards and ANSI Z133 for safety. Our people are employees on our own payroll and carry workers’ compensation. So 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. Moreover, we hold bonds and contractor registrations across more than thirty Chicagoland municipalities.
