Our proactive PHC programs are essential for protecting your investment. We are experts at managing the most serious threats in our area, including Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), Oak Wilt, and Apple Scab. We also provide deep root fertilization and soil care to keep your trees vibrant.

 

Young Tree Structural Pruning

Glenview Tree FAQ & Helpful Resources

​

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: Do I need a permit for tree removal in Glenview?

A: Work on any "parkway tree" always requires a permit from the Village of Glenview. For private property, regulations can vary. As part of our professional consultation, we will always verify the current village ordinances for your specific situation to ensure your project is compliant.

​

Q: My oak trees are very large. When is the best time to prune them?

A: To prevent the spread of the deadly Oak Wilt disease, it is critical to prune all oak trees only during their dormant season. In the Glenview area, this is typically from November 1st through March 31st. We do not recommend pruning oaks at any other time unless it is an emergency removal of a hazardous, broken limb.

​

Q: I live in a newer Glenview home. Why do my "new" trees need an arborist?

A: This is the most critical time in a tree's life! Young trees, especially from a nursery, often have structural defects. Our young tree structural pruning is a low-cost service that trains your tree for a long, strong, and safe life. This preventative care saves you thousands in corrective pruning or removals 20 years from now.
