Central Illinois thunderstorm season, straight-line winds, and heavy winter ice and snow put constant stress on Decatur's mature residential trees. which is when most of our emergency calls come in -- a limb through a window, a leaning trunk blocking the only way out of a driveway, or a whole tree resting on a fence line.

In Decatur, that often means a bucket truck and rigging gear for anything near Lake Decatur or in older neighborhoods with mature canopy, since those trees tend to fail in the largest, heaviest pieces.

From the Decatur Crew
Central Illinois thunderstorm season, straight-line winds, and heavy winter ice and snow put constant stress on Decatur's mature residential trees. In Decatur, the calls that come in during or right after a storm are almost always the trees that were already leaning or had visible deadwood -- if you've been putting off a trim, that's usually the tree that goes first.

Emergency Tree Removal Customer Reviews
Storm knocked over two trees on our property, one across the driveway. They had us cleared out before I had to leave for work the next morning. Called at 6am and someone actually answered.
Had them come train-prune three young maples we planted a few years ago. Wesley walked me through exactly why each cut mattered. Appreciated the education, not just the service.
Old oak in our backyard needed deadwooding, not removal, and I appreciated that they said so instead of pushing for the bigger job. Tree looks healthier and safer now.
