Tree Trimming in Lakewood Shores
Trimming does more than tidy a canopy. It removes deadwood before gravity finds it. It also opens the crown, so air and light reach the interior branches. Because wind passes through a thinned canopy, well-pruned trees hold up better in storms. Our arborists prune to accepted industry standards, which means no topping and no stubs that invite decay. Most species do best in late winter, though oaks stay off the list during the growing season because open wounds attract the beetles that spread oak wilt. Catching a weak union early is far cheaper than repairing the roof it lands on. See our full trimming services.
Tree Removal in Lakewood Shores
Sometimes a tree has to come out. Disease, storm damage, and encroachment on a house or garage are the usual reasons. Before anyone starts cutting, we read the lean and probe for internal decay. We also map the drop zone. If open felling would risk a structure or a utility line, we dismantle the tree in sections instead. Then we haul the debris away. Read more about tree and bush removal.
Stump Grinding and Land Clearing
A leftover stump is a trip hazard, a mower killer, and an open invitation to carpenter ants and decay fungi. Our grinders take it below grade, and major surface roots come out with it. Deeper roots stay in the ground and break down over time, which is fine for lawn but worth knowing if you plan to replant in the same hole. We haul the grindings off or backfill with them, whichever you prefer. For larger jobs we also handle land and lot clearing. See our stump removal page for details.
Emergency and Storm Response
Storms do not wait for business hours. Our crews respond around the clock, and we staff storm work by risk rather than by the order calls arrived. A tree on a roof comes before a tree on a lawn. See our emergency and storm response page for what to expect.
Storm damage. Never approach a fallen tree near a power line, and treat every downed wire as live. Call 911 first, then ComEd at 1-800-334-7661. Once the utility confirms the line is dead, we clear the tree at any hour. We also tarp what needs covering and photograph the damage for your insurer.
Why Property Owners Choose Us
We carry insurance and bonding, and we put the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. Crews arrive when we said they would, with the equipment the site actually calls for. Estimates carry no obligation, and we are glad to walk the property with you and explain what we would do and why. For replacement planting, the Morton Arboretum is the best regional reference on species that thrive in northern Illinois. See our full service area.
