A-1 Tree Services

Professional Tree Cutting in Chicago

Not every tree needs to come down. Sometimes cutting back the right limbs solves the problem and keeps the tree you love. A-1 Tree Services cuts trees safely for clearance, shaping and hazard control.

Our crews use climbing, rigging and cranes to cut trees in tight Chicago spaces without harming structures, fences or landscaping. We cut for the right reason and the right result.

When full removal is the only safe option, we handle that too — including debris hauling and stump grinding. See our tree removal service for details.

Good to Know

Tree Cutting FAQs

Is tree cutting the same as tree removal?

Cutting can mean removing limbs or clearance work. Full removal means taking the entire tree down. We do both.

Can you cut a tree leaning toward my house?

Yes. We use rigging and sectional cutting to control how the tree comes down.

Do you cut trees near power lines?

We assess clearance and coordinate with the utility when lines are involved.

Do you clean up after cutting?

Yes. All branches and debris are chipped and hauled away.

How much does tree cutting cost?

It depends on size, access and scope. Call (312) 815-3897 for a free estimate.
