"The experience with Chicagoland Forestry, LLC was excellent! Led by Kyle, the owner/leader: project was managed and completed impeccably! Kyle was phenomenal with all his follow up prior to, during, and after completion of the project. He did the work himself: totally prepared, ultimate professional, and my wife and I are extremely pleased with the outcome! exceptionally fair price and outstandingly well done from performance execution standpoint! For example, Kyle was out to observe one day. We had quote that same night and the work was done the next day. You cannot beat that efficiency! Thank you Kyle and keep up the great work!l Sir!"

Customers say: Quality work

"The men were accommodating and professional. After an excellent job of cutting down our hickory, they cleaned the area and left smaller logs and wood chips as I requested. Each was piled neatly in a preferred location. The price was fair, and I would definitely enlist them for future tree projects."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jorge and his team did an outstanding job trimming the trees and bushes at my home. From the initial quote to the completion of the work, they were professional, courteous, and reliable throughout the entire process. Jorge provided a quick and fair estimate, arrived on time, and delivered exactly what was promised. The quality of the work was excellent, and the cleanup afterward was just as impressive. Jorge and his team clearly take pride in their work and pay attention to the details. I highly recommend Jorge and his team to anyone looking for tree and bush trimming services. Great experience from start to finish! Brian K."

"He told me what time he was coming and came right on the dot.  He knew exactly what kind of tree I have and was very knowledgeable about when to cut it and what can happen if I cut it too early.  I had had a power outage in my garage and I inquired whether the tree roots could be causing some electrical issues.  He told me he didn't know, but the best part was that he spent 45 extra minutes investigating the garage and told me EXACTLY what to tell the electrician when I have them come out.  When the electrician came, I told him what Steve Briggs told me and he went to the exact spot and we discovered that Steve was exactly right!  Before Steve left, he asked if there was anything else that he could do to help me.  I had another tree service provider come out to give me an estimate and it was $150 more expensive than Briggs Tree Service.  When I asked him about what Steve told me about the timing of the tree cutting and what can befall the tree, he told me that now was as good a time as ever to cut the tree down and he didn't go into any detail.  After he left, I did some more investigation about what Steve told me about the ash and the virus that can kill my tree if I cut it right now and found out that Steve was EXACTLY right!  He is truly an expert arborist and can be trusted!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to send up a number of shoots from the dead stump, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.

Cutting down a dead tree is always strongly advisable. Aside from being an eyesore, a dead tree can be extremely hazardous, especially when it’s near people or structures. Even if the tree isn’t near your home, it can still harbor pests and diseases that can potentially spread to nearby plants and homes.

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.
