Pro Tree Service handles tree service in Villa Park, IL — removals, trimming and pruning, stump grinding and 24-hour storm response. We have worked DuPage County since 1989.
Prairie Path Town
The Illinois Prairie Path runs through Villa Park on the old Chicago Aurora & Elgin right-of-way, and a good number of properties back onto it. Trees along that corridor are mature, often self-seeded, and frequently leaning toward whichever side has light. Access from the path side is usually not an option, which means the work comes off your yard.
Pre-War Lots, Tight Access
Villa Park developed early — the housing stock and the lot pattern both date from before the war, with narrow frontages and rear garages. Almost nothing here gets felled. It gets rigged down in sections, and the crew works from the alley or the drive.
That is not a reason to put off a dead tree. It is a reason to get a quote from someone who has actually stood in the yard, because a price given over the phone for a lot like this is a guess.
We are not going to invent local color about Villa Park that we cannot stand behind. What we can tell you is how we work: we prune to ANSI A300 standards, every removal includes haul-away of the wood and brush, and we grind stumps four to eight inches below grade. Our full service pages cover the detail — trimming and pruning, tree and bush removal, stump grinding and land and lot clearing.
Dead Ash
Emerald ash borer cleared the ash out of DuPage years back. What remains is standing deadwood that gets more brittle each season — and on a narrow lot with a house close by, brittle is exactly the wrong property for a tree to have.
Whose Tree Is It
The parkway tree — the strip between the sidewalk and the street — is often owned by the village rather than the property owner, which means removing it is not your call to make. Requirements are not uniform across DuPage: some villages want a contractor registration on file before work starts, some want a permit for anything in the right-of-way, some want neither. We confirm what Villa Park actually requires before we bid the job, not after you have accepted a price.
Storm Damage
We answer the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and we work by hazard rather than call order. If there are wires involved, stay away from the tree, call 911, then call ComEd at 1-800-334-7661. See emergency and storm response.
