Municipal Tree Services for Chicagoland Towns and Villages
Since 1989, Pro Tree Service has partnered with local townships, villages and cities across Chicagoland and northwest Indiana to keep public spaces safe and well maintained. Municipalities work under real resource constraints, and tree maintenance is usually the thing that slips — until a limb comes down over a sidewalk. Our municipal tree service in Chicago and the surrounding counties is built to absorb that work without adding headcount to your public works department.
Partnering with Pro Tree Service reduces the risk of personal injury and property damage from overgrown or hazardous trees on public ground. Our ISA Certified Arborists lead crews that work to recognised industry standards, and every job is completed to specification and within budget.
Our Municipal Tree Care Services
We provide a full range of municipal tree services, including:
- Tree & Bush Removal — storm-damaged, diseased or hazardous trees and shrubs.
- Stump Removal & Grinding — eliminate stumps that create trip hazards or obstruct walkways.
- Tree Trimming & Pruning — clearance pruning over streets and sidewalks, and structural pruning of young parkway stock.
- Land & Lot Clearing — prepare ground for development, road widening or public projects.
Bonds, Registrations and Standards
For a village purchase order, the paperwork is usually the gating item rather than the price. We hold bonds and contractor registrations across more than thirty Chicagoland municipalities and keep them current, so a bid does not stall while a registration is filed. We issue certificates of insurance naming the correct entity, along with bond confirmation and W-9s, and can usually turn a COI around the same day.
Our crews work to ANSI A300 pruning standards and ANSI Z133 safety standards, which is what most municipal specifications call for by name. Crews are our own employees on our payroll and workers compensation policy rather than subcontractors, which keeps the coverage question simple if anyone is injured on municipal ground.
Why Municipal Arborists Choose Pro Tree Service
We make tree care straightforward for municipalities, so your staff can focus on everything else. We have provided tree removal across Chicago and the suburbs since 1989, and much of our municipal work is repeat business with the same public works departments year after year.
- Certified and insured — ISA Certified Arborists leading every crew, full coverage documented on request.

Storm and Emergency Work
When a significant wind or ice event moves through, every municipality in the region needs crews in the same hour. We stage in the affected area rather than spreading across the map, and we will tell you honestly where you sit in the queue rather than promise a window we cannot hold. See our emergency and storm response page for how we prioritise.
