Tree Service FAQs

The benefits that your property will see from one or more trees depend on various aspects. The size of your property, your landscaping goals and dreams, and your budget often shape the number of trees you can have and where you can place them. A-Unlimited Tree Service recommends keeping any healthy trees that are not a hazard to your home or property.

Winter is the dormant season for trees in Illinois and is the best time for tree pruning. The exception to this is spring-blooming trees, which should be trimmed shortly after blooming. Oak trees should only be trimmed in the period between November and the end of March to avoid spreading Oak Wilt.

Our estimates are absolutely free! Let us take a look at your trees and property and tell you what we can do!

We do perform reduction and thinning of trees in order to keep tress at your desired height and prevent unnecessary stress and sprouting out in the future.

We do not use spikes in any of our trimming work. They cause the trees needless stress and damage. Instead, we utilize rope climbing techniques that cause no harm to the trees in any way.

Unless we are specifically requested to leave wood or debris, our estimates always include the removal of everything from the ground up. Only the stump will remain unless you ask for the removal of that as well.

Our recommendations always include hardwood trees. Oaks, maples, and sycamores are beautiful and can grow to be 60’ tall. These trees will require consideration as to the size of your property, the location you’re considering for the tree, and the surrounding foliage.

Externally, it is difficult to determine the age of a tree. However, if you cut a limb off, you can count the internal rings and find out. Each ring accounts for one year of growth. Softer wood trees typically grow faster and are less dense. For example, a large cottonwood tree may only be half as old as an oak or maple that is half its size.

Generally, if your tree is leaning to one side or has a top filled with dead limbs, we suggest calling one of our experts immediately to determine what damage exists and the possible solutions. In other instances, you may notice a few tree limbs over your roof or some power lines. These tree limbs are usually the time when trimming or pruning is needed to prevent any future damage to your property.

While it is rare, sometimes accidents can happen. If something goes wrong on our watch, our first priority is to notify you of the incident and work towards a resolution. Reasons like this are why we are a fully licensed and insured company. Your complete satisfaction is our goal! We’ll make sure you’re pleased with our service and our solutions!

In every job we undertake, safety is our number one concern. Through our experience and equipment, we always strive to plan our removal process with the protection of your property in mind. Whether utilizing a crane or laying down protective lawn mats, we’ll leave your site in pristine condition!

You don’t need to be home during our tree services; however, you are welcome to do whatever makes you most comfortable – watching us work, or stepping out to leave us to it!

Usually, trimmings and removals will occur on the same appointment, while stump grinding would be set up for another time. This later date is to give time for the identification and marking of underground utilities to further ensure your property’s safety.

We’re a professional company that only accepts payment and considers the job complete when we met your expectations. We’ll do everything within our power to ensure that you are pleased with your service and your new yard.
