Evanston Tree Service F.A.Q.
They are all the services that relate to the care of trees, maintenance & removal.
The need for tree service is triggered by a few different reasons:
- to maintain the tree and to improve tree health.
- to treat disease or insect infestation.
- to increase and maintain the value of your property.
- aesthetics - to improve the look of your landscape. This can be achieved through trimming or shaping a tree with the help of cables and braces.
- safety - to keep your property and your neighbor's property safe. Regular maintenance is important because some safety risks might to be noticeable to someone who's not an arborist.
- tree removal to make room - for a construction project, house addition or to get more sunlight on a specific part of your property.
Depending on your needs, tree service might or might not include stump removal.
Our job as professionals and ISA certified arborists is to advise you what is the best course of action for you, primarily. Mature trees usually increase property value and that should be taken into consideration before removing a tree.
We do our best to help you save the tree. Sometimes trimming helps stop the progress of disease. To be 100% sure, we have to see the tree. To make your decision risk free, we offer a free quote to clients in or around the City of Chicago.
Different tree species have different requirements. However, the best time to trim deciduous trees is during winter, when these trees are dormant.
These are some of the times when you can prune a tree outside dormancy:
- as a safety measure
- for disease control and to improve tree health
- for pest control
- to gain more space/sunlight
We do offer emergency tree service outside of normal business hours. Our crews move fast and are a phone call away.
Please make sure that you wait for us in a safe area. If a tree has fallen on any part of your property, you should take plenty of pictures and then call your homeowner's insurance. Keep everyone clear of the affected area and watch out for electrical cables and springing branches or even whole trees that are hazardous. Do not approach the area until the storm cleanup and (depending on the damage) other contractors tell you that it is safe.
To choose a professional local company, you have to check all the requirements below:
- bonded & insured
- licensed & certified
- they hire ISA certified arborists and experience personnel
- they use professional equipment
- check their company's reviews
- they offer a free quote to help you decide
Some local tree cutters offer slightly smaller prices, but no peace of mind. If you want to hire the best tree company, read what its customers have to say about it. Also, ask them questions about their qualifications to make sure that job will be completed fast and, more important, in a safe manner.

Can you expand your Chicago tree service area?
We might make exceptions from project to project. The highlighted service area is meant to keep commuting costs low and that is how we make our prices so affordable. However, if we have 2 or projects in the same neighborhood or close-by, we might take service requests outside of our service area. Please contact directly us for large, commercial or municipal projects.
If you can't tell if we service your area or not, please give us a call. Our most accessible area for tree service is North Shore Chicago.
We offer tree services to the Chicago Botanic Garden and local arboretums. Our unique approach to planning & performing a tree care or tree removal project allows our company to work with any type of property, no matter how big or small the job is:

A regular tree service project starts with a free quote. We use your commercial or residential property's siteplan to put together a professional proposal and plan tree placement or service and maintenance around hard-to-reach areas. We focus on plant health, low maintenance costs, sunlight and shade distribution and increasing your property's attractiveness, commercial and real estate value.
It is very hard to answer a tree trimming or removal cost question and provide you with a flat rate because no two trees or properties are alike. Tree service costs vary based on the following criteria:
- size and height of the tree
- clearance around the tree
- urgency of the request
- exact service performed
All of these details influence the cost of the tree service request, mainly because some jobs take longer than others or are a lot more hazardous than a simple tree inspection, for example.
What we can promise is that our tree service prices are some of the most affordable AND competitive in the area. We also regularly provide more value within the same price when compared to other local and national tree companies:
- we employ certified arborists & experienced climbers who can finish a project faster and safer
- we pay attention to both big and small details - such as keeping your landscape safe and undamaged (lawns, driveways, etc) and cleaning up afterwards
- we continuously improve our procedures and use the latest, most performant tree removal equipment
For your peace of mind, you can contact us at any type to get a free, no-obligation quote and you can see for yourself why most of our customers are repeat customers.
