Signs Your Trees May Require Pruning or Removal

Unfortunately, many homeowners and property managers are unaware that their trees may need service or removal. This leads to trees that are unstable, unsightly, or in poor health. In a worst-case scenario, it may even lead to significant injuries or property damage, should a tree or large branch fall on the property.

So, try to inspect your trees regularly and contact our tree-care professionals if you notice any of the following signs or symptoms.

Leaning Trees: Not all leaning trees are hazardous, but some can be in imminent danger of complete failure. This is especially true of trees that start leaning more in a short period of time.
Large Hollows: Tree hollows may be somewhat charming, and they provide habitat for wildlife. But they also present tree-safety risks, as they’re often associated with significant internal decay.
Mushrooms or Conks: Mushrooms and conks growing on or around your trees are always a concern, as they indicate the presence of fungi, which may weaken the trunk, branches, or roots.
Discolored Leaves: Discolored tree leaves can be caused by a variety of problems, including bacterial disease, insects, or fungal pathogens. For safety’s sake, you’ll want a professional to examine the tree.
Mounding Soil: Mounding soil near the base of a tree is an emergency situation, which often indicates that the soil or roots have become unstable. Such trees often require immediate removal.
Insect Activity: While many insects will live harmoniously with your trees or cause only minor damage, others can quickly kill your trees. But this is another situation in which professional advice is helpful.
Premature Leaf Drop: Most deciduous trees will shed their leaves every autumn, but some may occasionally do so in the summer. This can be a symptom of a disease and warrants a professional inspection.
Visible Cracks: Cracks actually indicate that the wood in a tree is already failing. Not all cracks necessitate removal, but only a tree-care professional can tell for certain.

Keep Your Home and Family Safe

Let the professionals at Trimmed Up Trees remove hazardous trees and branches on your property.

Tree Care in Central Illinois: FAQ

Still have questions about the services offered by Trimmed Up Trees? Have general questions about tree care in Central Illinois? We’ve answered some of the most common questions our customers have below!

How much does it cost to cut a tree down in Illinois?

The costs associated with tree removal in Illinois vary based on your location and the tree-removal company you hire. However, most tree removal jobs performed by Trimmed Up Trees in the Atwood, Illinois area cost between $500 and $3,000, though removals requiring a crane may cost up to $4,000 in some cases.

What is the cheapest time of year for tree removal?

Tree removal is generally most affordable during the winter, when crews are least busy. However, inclement weather can disrupt standard operations, which means it is generally wise to go ahead and schedule tree removal as soon as you realize it is necessary.

Do you need a permit to cut down a tree in Illinois?

Some municipalities in Illinois require a permit before a tree can be legally removed, while others do not require any type of permit. So, this question is best addressed on a case-by-case basis. Nevertheless, the professionals at Trimmed Up Trees will always be happy to help you navigate the permitting process, if they’re required in your area.

How can I save money on tree removal?

The best ways to save money on a tree removal include scheduling the work in winter, bundling several tree-care services in one job (which lowers the costs associated with each individual service provided), or by foregoing things like brush removal or stump grinding.

Will lumber companies cut down trees for free?

If you have a particularly valuable tree on your property — such as a 200-year-old walnut or white oak — it’s possible that a lumber company will remove it for free. However, this rarely works in practice, as the economics simply prohibit lumber companies from mobilizing an entire tree-removal operation for a single tree.

Who is responsible when a neighbor's tree falls in your yard in Illinois?

Liability for a fallen tree varies based on the specific details of each situation. However, generally speaking, you’ll have to pay for the damage and removal (or file a claim with your insurance) of a tree that was healthy, while your neighbor will likely be responsible for the costs associated with a tree that was known to be dead, dying, or unstable.

Is it cheaper to trim or remove a tree?

Removing a tree typically costs much more money than simply having it trimmed or pruned, thanks to the additional labor required and the greater amount of debris created.
