Hands down the best tree services company that I have dealt with since moving back to Long Creek, IL. They were able to draft up a quote on the spot after visiting area that I needed cleared.  I had 4 large trees that needed to come down ASAP, but still ended up calling other companies to get a feel for what is fair....long story short, these guys are fair and affordable. Will use them again for any future tree services HANDS DOWN!

Came across Decatur Tree Services searching online. I had a stump smacked in the middle of my backyard that I needed gone. Got pretty lucky, when I called them they were actually only a few miles away. We agreed to an onsite visit that same evening and ended up having my stump grinded the very next day! Their prices were fair... No complaints

​TREE REMOVAL

Here in Decatur, tree removal is by far our most requested service (probably true for most cities). While we truly do appreciate the beautiful green landscape that Mother Nature has blessed us with here in Illinois, there are times are when our trees become more of a nuisance or hazard rather than a thing to admire.

Here are the most common situations that require tree removal services:

• Construction requires the area to be cleared
• Areas beneath are at risk of falling branches under windy conditions
• They are simply visually not where you prefer
• They are dangerously close or touching power lines
• Their roots risk damaging nearby foundations or piping

Before we perform any tree removal,  a close assessment of the trees needing servicing, as well as an inspection of the surrounding area, is performed. Based on the results from the initial inspection, we begin formulating a plan tailored to the specific job we are performing at the time. Multiple variables are factored in (health of the tree, size, surrounding area, etc) before putting together an accurate estimate. A tree removal job along Lake Decatur may differ from tree removal between two houses in Mount Zion.

With both your satisfaction and safety of you and your property in mind, we go the extra mile to create a thorough plan. Nobody wants to pay for unnecessary damages or have their safety at risk. Skip the guesswork and learn why we are one of the most reputable tree service companies in the Macon County ​and surrounding area.

TREE TRIMMING​

While the reasons why you would want your tree's branches trimmed may vary, tree trimming here in Decatur, IL is still a very common request that we get. Depending on the reason why you want your branches trimmed, many arborists and tree climbers would argue that PROPER tree trimming actually requires a bit of prior knowledge. From a variety of wedge and cabling techniques to knowing which branches to cut to keep your trees healthy, there is a lot more than meets the eye to get the job done correctly.

Despite the risks, perhaps you have attempted DIY tree pruning a bit on your downtime. This is completely fine for smaller trees, however, the risk of serious injury and damage greatly increases as the trees being trimmed become large and the surrounding areas become more complex. In these situations, we strongly advise you to hire a professional tree service company or contractor to at the very least perform an onsite consultation. These are often free of charge and could save you much time and money.

Here are the most common situations that require tree trimming services:

• Necessary to improve a tree's health and overall condition
• Decaying limbs and branches are at risk of falling
• You wish to change your tree's overall appearance
• General tree thinning or tree topping  ​ 

If you need tree trimming services done professionally at affordable and honest rates, give our Macon County tree trimming team a call today to schedule a free onsite estimate.

STUMP GRINDING

While some people may want to keep stumps around, perhaps for something natural to sit on, most home and property owners here in Illinois would rather have both their old and fresh stumps gone for good. While a number of tree service companies here in Illinois do not offer stump removal services, we will proudly take care of your pesky stumps once and for all.

No two trees are exactly the same, and the same can be said about stumps and more so the roots that lie beneath them. Some root systems may grow deeper, while others are more shallow but cover a wider area underground and on the surface. Removing stumps and their roots without absolutely butchering the ground on your property takes a certain degree of skill and experience (even with today's modern stump grinders). 
​
Here are the most common situations that require stump grinding and removal services:

• They are simply unsightly and need to go
• They are hazardous to lawn equipment and children 
• They may sprout unwanted tree growth
• They became home to poisonous insects and pests
• They are taking up space that you would rather use differently

Whatever your reason may be for wanting stumps gone, we can help you have them removed for good. Our Decatur stump removal team is equipped with state of the art stump grinders to get the job done with minimal impact to your property.

INSANE ATTENTION TO DETAIL

DON'T RISK YOUR SAFETY

For some reason, so many people here in Decatur that we speak with imagin tree removal as a smooth ride where you simple chop it in half like a tomato on a cutting board. As we speak with them about some of the tree service details and steps to remove trees, we often find them rather surprised when they learn the hazards involved with tree removal and tree services overall. Everything from almost rock-solid tree trunks, gravity, electrical lines, and heavy equipment, all can cause serious injury or damage if not approached with caution. The TCIA even stated that there are close to 100 tree care deaths every year, and countless more injuries.

​Here in Macon County, we take our profession very seriously. Tree service and removal is nothing to joke around with, and can have serious repercussions if not done properly. Below, we will be listing a few of the many reasons why you should consult with a professional tree company equipped with the proper training and insurance, prior to any tree service job.

THE DANGERS INVOLVED WITH TREE REMOVAL

COMMERCIAL POWER TOOLS - While we would like to think of ourselves as modern day superheroes with superpowers, we actually depend greatly on the commercial-grade equipment to complete the variety of tree jobs that we perform. Not to be mistaken, we love and appreciate our tools, however they each come with their own set of risks when misused. One misjudgement while operating heavy equipment can lead to catastrophic outcomes. A commercial-grade chainsaws could slice right through a limb, a cable can trip you 50 feet up in the air, not to mention wood chippers... you know where we are getting at. Because of these very serious risks, we strongly advise you to leave tree services to a professional Decatur tree service company or contractor.
​
SHOCK HAZARDS - Brush and tree removal for overgrowth near existing electrical lines is actually a request that we get quite often. As you may already know, power lines have the potential to cause a fatal accident in a split second. At the very least, a simple misjudgement of tree cutting near power lines can cause instant power outage. If you are not already convinced, it is extremely important to entrust a licensed, insured, and experienced tree services company to handle any tree trimming near power lines.

UNSTABLE TREES - When trees begin to decay and rot, they grow more and more unstable. The process of decaying could often happen from the inside out. Other times, decaying may be visually noticeable, however, you may be busy with life's demands and simply not have taken the time to look at your trees closely. Because of this, dying trees often go unnoticed by most people until an initial tree inspection is performed. Okay, so why is all of this important? The reason is because decaying trees lack stable trunks and limbs. As a result, a simple windy day can leave tree branches falling on parked vehicles, homes, or even a loved one. Another scenarios is a fellow tree climber at risk of falling unexpectedly when stepping on a weak decaying branch while trimming and removing trees (thank goodness for safety harnesses). These risks are why regular tree maintenance is so important, so these risks are caught before they cause any damage or injury.

While these are the more common dangers associated with tree services here in the Decatur, Illinois, there are still a number of other risks including poor weather conditions, surrounding landscapes, and piping lying under the soil. Working with a reputable tree service team could save you from damage and injury. Give us a call today to schedule a visit to your property and get a free estimate on all your tree care needs!
