"We hired Arborist LLC in Bloomington, Illinois for a hazardous tree removal near our home, and the difference in professionalism was immediately clear. Their certified arborist took the time to explain the structural risks, safety plan, and options before any work began. The crew followed strict safety practices, protected our property, and completed the job with precision and care. We never felt rushed or pressured into unnecessary work. If you’re looking for a certified arborist-led tree service in Bloomington IL that prioritizes safety, clear communication, and long-term tree health, Arborist LLC is who we recommend."

"We had a very large tree that needed to be removed in our backyard with very tight excess to it. Deven and the crew did a great job, no, they did an excellent job. From cutting down the tree to removal of all the limbs and grinding out the two stumps it was done very professionally. This company does and follows thru with everything they promise to do. We are so happy with the respectful way they treated us and our property. I would highly recommend this company. They are Great!"

"We have had J & L take down several trees in our yard over the years. Every time we call them, they are quick to come out to get us a quote, fairly priced, and get us on their schedule promptly. The guys are extremely knowledgeable and take immense care in their removal recommendations, while never making us feel pressured. They do a tremendous job of getting everything removed in a timely fashion, while still being safe and respectful of our time/yard. Between their excellent communication and quality of work, we couldn't recommend these guys enough!"

"I had major tree trimming that needed to be done. These were huge oak trees 40 to 60 feet high, probably more. They brought in heavy equipment and a bucket crane and a very experienced and very friendly crew. It was a huge job. They arrived on time and were highly efficient and artistic in how they cut these trees. The branches were very large and complicated to reach over the house. They did truly an extraordinary job. I was amazed at how well it looked and the quality of the work, They even swept the yard clean of all debris. I very highly recommend this company."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If an arborist is certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), the highest level of certification available is ISA Board Certified Master Arborist. According to the ISA, this credential is reserved for arborists “who have reached the pinnacle of their profession.” Check your arborist’s credentials before hiring to confirm their level of training and expertise.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

There are many signs that a tree is diseased or dying, and if you suspect that’s the case, you should call an arborist immediately. You might notice rot or fungus on the trunk or that the tree is beginning to lean to one side. Brittle branches or signs of root damage are other indicators that a tree is in trouble. If the tree is dying, it might be time to cut the tree down so it doesn’t fall.

If it’s your property, then you can plant a tree near power lines, but it’s not the best idea. Any vegetation that grows within 10 feet or so of power lines will fall under the responsibility of the utility company, and they may trim or remove it as necessary. If you do move forward with your plan, try to choose a smaller ornamental tree, plant it as far away from the power lines as you can, and keep it trimmed to avoid future problems.

In nature, there are many things that can cause a tree to die, including diseases, insects, and natural disasters such as fires or droughts. Non-natural methods of killing a tree include herbicides or manual intervention, such as cutting it down. Consult a tree removal professional about your options for naturally killing a tree.
