"Jason and his 3 men crew were on time for our appointment day of the service. Jason (tree climber) were very professional, efficient and diligent in pruning our over grown and dead branches and shaping our over 25 ft Locust tree. Jason and his crew worked diligently and cleaned up all the debris. They were so good that my neighbor requested for their number. I definitely contact them again. I would recommend Illinois Tree Service to family and friends."

"They did a excellent job! Would definitely recommend them. They took down 3 big maple trees for me and took care of some pine trees that got uprooted during a storm. Great price as well. Very respectful of the property and made sure everything was cleaned up good when the job was done. Would definitely hire them again!"

"I was very pleased with the tree trim that I requested of Briggs once it was done. Only thing was I had to wait over a week and had to call to see if he was still going to do it."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Light-bark trees are most notorious for producing lots of sap when wounded. These varieties include maples, birches, poplars, dogwoods, magnolias, and elms, and they will bleed more when the trees are dormant. That’s why it’s a good idea to prune them in the summer months rather than waiting until winter.

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.

No, you cannot plant a tree above a gas line. Tree roots grow and spread over time and can sometimes dent, crack, or penetrate a gas line. Those same roots may also cause accessibility problems for maintenance or repairs. You can generally plant vegetation with non-invasive root systems, low-growing vegetation, and flower beds near gas lines.
