How much does tree removal cost in Chicago?

Do you offer emergency tree service?

Do you charge for estimates?
No. A-1 Tree Services always offers free estimates, so you can get a price for removal, trimming, or stump grinding before any work begins.
What is the difference between tree trimming and pruning?
Tree trimming improves appearance by removing overgrowth, while pruning removes dead or diseased branches to boost health. Many properties benefit from both over time.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We are licensed and insured, and we are fully insured to give you peace of mind during every job.
Do you handle commercial tree services?
Yes. Whether it is a retail center, office campus, industrial site, or multi unit complex, our team is equipped to support business scale tree care.
What happens to the wood and debris after the job?
After the work is completed, we will even leave the wood chips for you if you like. Stumps are ground down, including the roots, to prevent regrowth and leave the yard smooth and clean.
