"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."

"Nic Tree Service was a great choice! I got quotes from 3 different companies to cut down tree branches hanging over my house and was the lowest quote. The price was fair and got the job done in less than an hour. I will definitely be going with Nic Tree Service again for any tree services needed."

"I can't even begin to express how wonderful it was to deal with Fernandez Tree Service. First off, when Humberto told me he would be there to give an estimate....he was there, the time frame he gave me to remove the trees was spot on. Price was more than fair. The customer service that we received was one of the best experiences I have had in a while. Humberto and the crew that came out were fantastic!! If anyone needs the service that they provide please give them a call, you will not regret it. Please do not hesitate to use their service."

"This is probably the best tree service I have ever had in 40 Years of Living in this house! Mr. Vasquez and his amazing team climbed our 70 foot tall trees to the top, and carefully examined every single limb and branch or overall specimen beauty, tree health, balance, and future growth, before they even made one cut. They cleaned, hauled, and chopped up the debris so efficiently. It was all done professionally.....beautifully,... and now we have openness, healthy fruit trees, and beautiful property hill and forest behind our house that now allows sky and lets in light and air! I will absolutely use them again next year and anytime for projects that we have concerning our trees! The Best of the Best."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

After a big storm, you may not be sure if a tree was struck or not. Look for the telltale long scars, like strips or gouges in the bark of the tree, running in sometimes jagged lines down the length of the trunk. These scars will often show vulnerable living wood inside the tree. It’s also common to see scorched or wilted leaves on the side or top of the tree where lightning struck.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

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.

Any tree that needs to be pruned should be pruned to remove dead branches at least once a year. You may need to prune far more often if you’re trying to maintain a certain shape or to save a tree that suddenly becomes infected.

Yes, carefully prune back dead branches—don’t wait for pruning season. This helps keep your maple tree healthy and also helps prevent large branches from falling unexpectedly. Don’t seal the cut branch—trees can naturally take care of these wounds—but be sure to remove any source of fungus or pest infestation to help save the tree.
