Professional Tree Removal Services in Arlington Heights, IL
Safe, efficient tree removal by certified arborists with specialized equipment and years of experience
Expert Tree Removal You Can Trust
Tree removal is one of the most dangerous and complex tasks in arboriculture, requiring specialized equipment, extensive training, and years of experience. At Arlington Heights Tree Service, our certified arborists have safely removed thousands of trees throughout Arlington Heights and surrounding communities, from small ornamental trees to massive oak specimens over 100 feet tall.
Every tree removal project begins with a comprehensive risk assessment. Our team evaluates the tree's condition, proximity to structures, utility lines, and other obstacles that could complicate the removal process. We consider wind patterns, soil conditions, and the tree's natural lean to develop the safest and most efficient removal strategy for your specific situation.
Unlike many tree services that rely on dangerous practices like topping or improper felling techniques, we use precision cutting methods and state-of-the-art rigging systems to control every aspect of the removal process. Our crews are equipped with specialized chainsaws, rigging equipment, cranes when necessary, and protective gear that meets or exceeds industry safety standards.
When Tree Removal Becomes Necessary
Dead or Dying Trees
Trees with more than 50% dead wood pose significant safety risks and rarely recover. Prompt removal prevents property damage and injury.
Storm Damage
Severely damaged trees from storms may be structurally compromised. Quick assessment and removal protect your property from further damage.
Disease or Pest Infestation
Severely diseased trees can spread problems to healthy specimens. Strategic removal helps protect your entire landscape.
Construction Projects
Home additions, driveways, or landscaping projects may require tree removal to accommodate new construction.
Overcrowding
Removing select trees can improve growing conditions for remaining specimens and enhance your landscape's overall health.
Property Improvements
Strategic removal can improve views, increase sunlight, and create space for new landscaping features.
Our Proven Tree Removal Process
Our systematic approach to tree removal ensures maximum safety and minimal impact on your property. Every project begins with a detailed site assessment where we identify potential hazards, plan our approach, and obtain any necessary permits. We notify utility companies when working near power lines and coordinate with local authorities as required.
Before beginning work, we establish safety zones and install protective barriers around valuable landscaping, structures, and vehicles. Our crews use specialized rigging techniques to control the direction and speed of falling branches and trunk sections, preventing damage to your property and ensuring worker safety throughout the process.
Large trees are typically removed in sections, starting from the top and working down. This controlled dismantling approach allows us to safely remove trees in confined spaces where traditional felling isn't possible. Our equipment includes bucket trucks for accessing high branches and cranes for handling exceptionally large or difficult removals.

According to the Tree Care Industry Association, tree removal accidents cause hundreds of injuries and dozens of fatalities each year, with most incidents involving untrained individuals or uninsured contractors using inadequate equipment. Professional tree removal requires understanding of tree physics, proper cutting techniques, and specialized safety equipment that most homeowners don't possess.
After removal, we provide complete cleanup services including branch chipping, log removal, and stump grinding if requested. We rake and clean all debris from your property, leaving it cleaner than we found it. Our team can also provide recommendations for replacement plantings or landscape modifications to enhance your property's beauty and value.
The average cost of tree removal varies significantly based on tree size, location, and complexity of the job. However, the cost of professional removal is minimal compared to the potential damage from falling trees or the liability of accidents during amateur removal attempts.
