Questions

Tree Service F.A.Q.

What is tree service?

They are all the services that relate to the care of trees, maintenance and removal. The need for tree service is triggered by several reasons: to maintain the tree and improve tree health, to treat disease or insect infestation, to increase and maintain the value of your property, aesthetics such as trimming or shaping, safety to keep your property and neighbors safe, and tree removal to make room for construction projects or to get more sunlight.

When is the best time to trim trees?

Different tree species have different requirements. However, the best time to trim deciduous trees is during winter, when these trees are dormant. You can also prune outside dormancy as a safety measure, for disease control and to improve tree health, for pest control, or to gain more space and sunlight.

Should I remove a tree or try to save it?

Our job as professionals and ISA certified arborists is to advise you on the best course of action for you. Mature trees usually increase property value and that should be taken into consideration before removing a tree. We do our best to help you save the tree — sometimes trimming helps stop the progress of disease. To be 100% sure, we have to see the tree. To make your decision risk free, we offer a free quote to clients in or around the City of Chicago.

Do you offer emergency tree service?

Yes. We offer emergency tree service outside of normal business hours. Our crews move fast and are a phone call away. Having two local offices near you guarantees fast tree service no matter if it is noon or 3 AM. Please wait in a safe area and keep everyone clear of fallen trees. Watch out for electrical cables and springing branches.

Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

Yes. Progressive Tree Service is licensed, bonded, and insured. You should always make sure that your local tree care pros carry current insurance. We reduce your liability and offer the peace of mind that a licensed tree contractor provides. Our arborists hold credentials from the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), CERT ID: IL-9145A.

What areas do you serve?

We offer reliable, efficient and professional local tree services to clients in the Greater Chicago area and North suburbs (Northshore). We cover the Chicago northwest side and Evanston. Having two local offices near you guarantees fast service whether it is a routine job or a 3 AM emergency.
