Professional Trimming for Healthier Trees
Trimming does far more than tidy a canopy. It takes out deadwood before it falls, opens the crown so wind passes through the tree instead of pushing against it, and steers new growth away from roofs, gutters, and service lines. Our arborists look at each tree individually — species, age, root conditions, and what is underneath it — then prune to accepted industry standards rather than topping or stripping the interior. See our full trimming services for what a typical visit covers.
Recommended Tree Trimming Schedule
Most established trees do well with a trim once a year, generally in late winter or early spring before the buds break. Dormant pruning makes structural problems easy to see, limits sap loss, and reduces the chance of spreading disease through fresh cuts. Some species want a different schedule — oaks in particular should not be pruned during the growing season because open wounds attract the beetles that carry oak wilt. Young trees benefit from lighter, more frequent shaping while their structure is still forming. Our crews will tell you what your specific trees need rather than selling you a yearly visit you do not require.
Safe Tree Removal Services
Taking a large tree down next to a house, garage, fence, or power line is not a job for a homeowner with a chainsaw. Our crews read the lean, probe for internal decay, and map the drop zone before anyone starts cutting, then dismantle the tree in controlled sections whenever open felling would put something at risk. Afterward we haul the debris away and can grind the stump flush with the lawn. Our teams work throughout Cook County and handle both tree and bush removal and stump removal.
Storm damage. Never approach a fallen tree that is touching or lying near a power line, and treat every downed wire as live. Call 911, then ComEd on 1-800-334-7661. Once the scene is safe, our emergency crews are available around the clock to clear the tree, tarp what needs covering, and photograph the damage for your insurance claim.
How to Know When a Tree Should Come Down
Warning signs worth a professional look include mushrooms or conks growing at the base, large areas of missing or loose bark, cavities and soft punky wood in the trunk, a sudden new lean with soil heaving on the opposite side, and a canopy that leafs out noticeably later or thinner than its neighbors. A tree causing structural damage, or one carrying a disease that can move to nearby plantings, is usually better removed than treated. That said, plenty of trees that look alarming can be saved with targeted pruning and time, so a diagnosis comes before a quote. The Forest Preserves of Cook County is a good general reference on the native species that grow well in this area if you are planning what to plant in place of a tree that has to go.
