Tree Trimming in Lemont
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. See our full trimming services.
When to Schedule Tree Trimming in Lemont
Most species do best in late winter, while the buds are still closed. Dormant cuts limit sap loss and make structural problems easy to see. Oaks are the exception, though. Avoid pruning them during the growing season, since open wounds attract the beetles that spread oak wilt. That said, a cracked or hanging limb comes off the day we find it.
Tree Removal in Lemont
Some trees are past pruning. Mushrooms at the base, deep trunk cracks, and large areas of loose bark are the signs worth calling about. We probe for internal decay and read the lean before a saw starts. Then we take the tree down whole or in sections, depending on what is standing around it. Then we haul the debris away. Emerald ash borer has taken most of the ash across the region, and a dead ash turns brittle and dangerous to climb faster than most species. Those removals move up the list.

Stump Grinding and Removal
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, so tell us if you plan to replant in the same hole and we grind deeper. See our stump grinding page.
Storm Response
Our crews respond around the clock. We staff storm work by risk rather than by the order calls arrived, so a tree on a roof comes before a tree on a lawn.
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.
