Tree work done carefully, for the North Shore.

Chicagoland Tree Services is built on a simple idea: when a tree has to come down near your house, you should get an honest assessment and a crew that plans the cut - not a chainsaw for hire and a guess.

The focus is removal, trimming, stump grinding, and storm cleanup across the North Shore villages and the northwest suburbs, in Cook and Lake counties. On a residential lot, access and size drive both the price and the safety of the job - so every tree is walked and quoted in writing before a single cut.

The North Shore brings its own challenges: century-old parkway oaks and elms hemmed in by houses and power lines, wooded ravine and estate lots that are hard to reach, and a decade of emerald ash borer that has left standing dead ash across nearly every town. Big, hazardous, or tightly-boxed trees are rigged down in sections or lifted out with a crane, and the yard is left cleaner than it was found.

Every job is performed by licensed, fully insured crews, and a certificate of insurance is available to any homeowner, HOA, or property manager on request - which matters a great deal on work near a house or a live power line.
