Arborist Services for Hinsdale Properties

 

We offer a complete range of services designed to protect the significant investment you have in your landscape.

 

Consulting Arborist & Tree Preservation

 

Renovating your home or building new? This is a critical time for your trees. As consulting arborists, we work with Hinsdale homeowners, builders, and architects to create comprehensive tree preservation plans that meet Village of Hinsdale ordinances and ensure your legacy trees survive and thrive post-construction.

 

Mature & Specimen Tree Pruning

 

The large, mature trees on your property require precise, structural pruning. We do not "top" or "over-thin" trees. Our pruning enhances the natural form of your trees, reduces the risk of failure, improves curb appeal, and protects your property value.

 

Plant Health Care (PHC) & Disease Management

 

Our proactive PHC programs are designed to protect your landscape's most valuable assets. We are experts at diagnosing and managing complex issues common in Hinsdale, from Oak Wilt and Dutch Elm Disease to nutrient deficiencies and pest management (including Emerald Ash Borer).

 

Technical Tree Removal

 

When a tree must be removed, our team performs safe, low-impact removals. We are highly experienced in navigating the tight quarters and valuable landscapes of Hinsdale properties, using advanced rigging and ground protection mats to protect your home, driveway, and surrounding gardens.

​

Tree Cabling and Bracing

 

For irreplaceable, mature trees with structural weaknesses, our cabling and bracing systems can provide the support they need to weather storms and co-exist safely on your property for decades to come.

Frequently Asked Questions in Hinsdale

 

Q: What are the tree removal permit rules in Hinsdale?

A: The Village of Hinsdale has ordinances protecting its urban forest. A permit is almost always required for removing "parkway trees." For trees on private property, rules can depend on the tree's size, species, and location (e.g., "heritage trees"). As part of our consultation, we will assess your tree and advise on the exact permitting process for your situation.

​

Q: How will you protect my expensive landscaping and driveway during work?

A: Protecting your property is our top priority. Our climbers and crews use careful rigging techniques to lower large limbs safely, avoiding damage to understory plants and structures.

​

Q: When is the best time to prune my large oak trees in Hinsdale?

A: The ideal time to prune oak trees is outside of the growing degree days (GDD) calendar for active flight of the oak wilt insect vectors. This typically means mid April through mid June. These dates change from year to year.
