Do you offer emergency tree service?
Yes. Progressive Tree Service offers emergency tree service outside of normal business hours. The crews move fast and are a phone call away, whether a hazardous limb comes down at noon or at 3 AM.

No. A regular tree service project starts with a free quote. Call us and we will give you a free, no-obligation estimate on what the service is going to cost.

What kinds of properties do you service?
We work on residential properties as well as college campuses, golf courses, commercial establishments, park districts and forest preserves, schools, playgrounds, day care centers and recreation centers, shopping centers and malls, and parks.
Should I trim, remove, or treat a tree?
We do our best to help you save the tree, and sometimes trimming helps stop the progress of disease. To be 100% sure, we have to see the tree, so we offer a free quote to make the decision risk free.
When is the best time to prune a tree?
Different tree species have different requirements, but the best time to trim deciduous trees is during winter, when these trees are dormant. Outside dormancy, pruning still makes sense as a safety measure, for disease control, for pest control, or to gain more space and sunlight.
