"This job went so much smoother than I ever could have hoped. The owner was very prompt, courteous, and professional in all our dealings, the workers were professional.... everything about their work was outstanding. They took less time that I had figured, and hauled away all the wood and left the property in good shape. I highly recommend Progressive Tree Service!!!"

"Bowline is the best tree service around. Customer service is great Kevin is kind, honest and hardworking. Him and his crew have cut two very large trees down for us and did the stump grind in the past 2 weeks. They do a wonderful job, they clean up, they show up on time and his prices are very fair. I will recommend this company to anyone looking for work time and time again. Thank you so much Kevin for working with us!"

"Always punctual, I’ve used them a couple of times. Excellent tree climbers and good crew overall. They’ve taken down some big trees and since I live on an island ( yes) they cut and stacked. Would recommend highly !"

"I own a large suburban lot in Deer Park, IL with lots of trees and have hired Mike and his crew from AAA Arborist Tree Experts for three major projects over the past few years. I've had nothing but excellent service from him! He's friendly, knowledgeable, keeps his word and delivers high quality. The most difficult project was removing a VERY LARGE willow that overhung my house. It had weak limbs and I knew it would cause problems for me if not removed. Mike's crew removed the willow safely at a fair price. I was impressed. The other two projects were clearing buckthorn and diseased trees (while leaving more desirable species) in various areas of my lot. In both cases Mike and his crew did a great job and I was extremely pleased with the result. When ever I need tree service, Mike is the guy I call!"

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

Grinding down a tree helps reduce the risk of foundation damage and pests and even helps your home’s curb appeal. Stumps can also be a safety hazard. If grass grows above the stump and someone else mows your yard, they may be in for a rude awakening when they accidentally hit 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. 

There are a few general rules to follow that will help you prune your trees correctly. One of the most important rules is to prune during the correct season for the type of tree you have. Typically, pruning should be during late winter. For younger trees, you should not remove more than a ⅓ of the tree's crown when pruning. Also, remember to remove dead and diseased branches first, then proceed with pruning the rest of the tree.

You will know that an oak tree needs to be removed when you see vertical cracks or dead branch stubs, which indicate internal decay. Other signs include trunk rot near the base of the tree and sprouts or small branches coming from the trunk.

Yes, tree roots can regenerate after they’re pruned or cut. In fact, trimming can stimulate new growth, especially in healthy trees. The tree’s roots can still grow back even after a tree is cut down, (and learning how to get rid of regrowing tree roots is a separate feat). Still, if you don’t wish to harm a tree, pruning the roots should be done with extreme care, and ideally by a professional.
