Why would you want to trim or prune your tree? 

We have narrowed things down to three main reasons: investment purposes, aesthetics, and safety. 

Investment - Trimming and shaping mature trees could drastically add to the aesthetic curb appeal of a property you are trying to sell. Just like you should wash and detail your vehicle before selling it, you should trim and shape the trees on your property prior to showing it off. This could bring you a sizable return on investment and you will be happy you did so.

Aesthetics – Even if you are not planning on selling your home or property, you may just want your trees to look good for you to enjoy. There is an actual science to properly trimming and shaping your trees. Trim them too much and you risk damaging them permanently or at the very least making them look plain odd.

Safety – Rotting and decaying branches and limbs run the risk of falling from a simple gust of wind. Imagine if this happened over your car or child. Proper tree maintenance could improve the health of your trees while removing risks involved with branches growing where they shouldn't be.

Show your trees some love. Especially here in Decatur, IL tree maintenance is a must since we are blessed with so many beautiful trees and landscapes. They give us fresh air, natural shade, some bear fruit, and are really just plain old beautiful to look at. The least we could do is care for our trees.

ASSESMENT

Our Decatur tree services mission is always to provide you with the best experience possible. A big part of providing outstanding tree service is having tree removal done as safe as possible with minimal impact on your property. 

To do this, we start all tree removals with a thorough risk analysis of the tree and its surrounding landscape.

Here are some of the variables we factor in prior to performing tree removal services in Macon County:
​

• What is the size of the trees that need to be removed?
• What is their current health status and their trunks and branches?
• What is the condition of the surrounding landscape?
• Where is the optimal "fall zone"?
• Is there existing piping underneath the surface to factor in?

These are just some of the main variables that we take into consideration prior to any tree clearing here in Macon County. Because no two trees are exactly identical, you can understand how no tree removal job is exactly identical to a previous job performed. In order to maintain the safety of our team and your property, we really dive deep into many factors prior to formulating a plan of action for your tree removal. People began to take notice of our attention to detail, which has developed into a reputation of being one of the most trusted Decatur IL tree removal teams out there.

ACTION PLAN

After our initial assessment is complete, we then begin to put together the best plan of action for removing the trees you need gone. In this action plan, we will be compiling a list of the necessary equipment, manpower, and time needed to complete your tree removal. After factoring in a number of details, you will receive your free tree removal estimate based on your request. The estimate is obligation-free and is something we offer to give you a pressure-free experience.

Be wary of non-licensed amateur "tree guys." More often than not, their estimates will either not be accurate, they won't have the necessary insurance and permits to protect you, or they will require a large sum of money as a down payment. It is simply not worth the risk.

To avoid these risks, we always advise that you speak with a professional tree service company first, so you know your best options and if professional services are necessary. You avoid the "what if" scenarios when you stick with a professional tree removal company. 

Once you agree to the quote provided, the next step is to work with our team to schedule the best time to begin tree removal. For larger tree removal jobs, this may include scheduling multiple days to complete the job. You will have the option to either be present or not during the tree removal process.

Now that the action plan is set, it's time to get to tree cutting!

The time has finally come! You called us to have trees gone for good and we our ready to deliver our end of the bargain. You received your free assessment, was provided a complimentary quote, and now are ready to get the show on the road. Let's these trees removed!

Here is the what follows:

• Secure the area - we want the area where the trees will fall to be safely cleared out (the initial assessment has these areas noted)
• Clear an emergency path -  the safe zone to run to if a tree falls in an unexpected direction
• Prepare the equipment - all the tools we will be using to help with the tree removal (gas, chainsaws, cranes, cables, etc.)
• Harness and secure - tie branches as needed, hook harnesses, prep the crane!
• Time to chop your trees - we will begin applying wedges and cutting techniques to remove your tree safely according to plan
