"Illinois Tree Service is beyond a top-quality company. They removed 7 large trees from our backyard, grounded 4 stumps, and trimmed a tree in the front yard. It looks amazing. They removed piles of brush I collected without request and reinstalled a chain link fence to perfection after they removed it to access 2 hard-to-reach trees. Matt and his crew are professional, reliable, and safe. Matt's quote was extremely economical compared to the 3 other quotes I received for the project. I highly recommend Illinois Tree Service."

"2/14/26 Nic Trees Fidel's service definitely deserves 5 stars! He climbed up the tree to cut down and remove a huge tree branch that was blown and fallen onto our roof. He worked very skillfully and carefully to section the branch and lowered the trunk pieces onto the ground away from our house. He is very responsive to our call for service, came to price out the job the next day, and had the job done two days later. I highly recommend his service!!!!!"

"Fantastic job! My neighbor secured Prime to have 2 of their trees trimmed. I observed from across the street & I was impressed. I then asked 1 of the workers for their business card. The following week, my neighbor down the block had secured Prime for their dying tree. I was so impressed with the workers, the equipment they used, their skills. One of the workers even scaled the very tall tree. I contracted to have my 35 ft Blue Spruce removed. The tree was healthy being care for by Davy’s Tree Service. It had grown way too tall for my ranch style home. Prime Tree Care, Inc of Blue Island, Illinois emailed the contact with all details spelled out clearly. I like the professional approach of their contract along with forwarding a copy of their Certificate of Liability Insurance without requesting the document. This is the most professional tree service I have ever contracted. I am a gardener with 40 yrs gardening experience; I know excellent when I see it!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

Unfortunately, if you cut the top off a palm tree, it will die. Instead of budding or branching out, the top begins to slowly rot. That's why having a professional tree trimming at least twice a year is a good idea. If you don’t have experience with trimming your palm tree, you might accidentally cut the top off, leaving a dead and rotting tree in your wake.

The recovery time for pruning depends on how much you prune, the species of tree, and how well you care for it afterward. All trees grow new wood and often sprout additional branches after pruning. Ideally, trees should recover from normal pruning after one or two years. Heavy pruning or slow-growing trees may take several years to fully recover.
