Tree Trimming in Prospect Heights
Pruning does more than shape a tree. It clears deadwood before gravity does. It also opens the canopy, which lets light reach the lower branches and the turf underneath. Because a thinned crown sheds wind, well-pruned trees come through storms in better shape. 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 Prospect Heights
We book most pruning for late winter and early spring. The canopy is bare then, so weak unions and decay pockets are easy to spot. Oaks are the one firm exception, because cuts made in the growing season attract the beetles that spread oak wilt. That said, a cracked or hanging limb comes off the day we find it.
Tree Removal in Prospect Heights
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. Silver maple is common here and prone to included bark at the main union. It is the species we most often find split after a wind event. Read more about tree and bush removal.
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.
