A-1 Tree Services
When a tree is dead, diseased, storm damaged or simply in the wrong place, it becomes a real risk to your home, car and family. A-1 Tree Services has removed trees across Chicago since 1998, using proper rigging, cranes and safety gear to bring even the largest tree down without damaging your property.
Every job starts with a free on-site assessment. We plan the drop zone, protect landscaping and utilities, then remove the tree whole or lower it in sections when space is tight. You get an upfront written price, a licensed and insured crew, and a yard left clean.
Need it gone today? Our team also handles 24/7 emergency tree removal for storm damage and dangerous limbs. If you want the stump gone too, we can grind it below grade during the same visit.
