"I own a large suburban lot in Deer Park, IL with lots of trees and have hired Mike and his crew from AAA Arborist Tree Experts for three major projects over the past few years. I've had nothing but excellent service from him! He's friendly, knowledgeable, keeps his word and delivers high quality. The most difficult project was removing a VERY LARGE willow that overhung my house. It had weak limbs and I knew it would cause problems for me if not removed. Mike's crew removed the willow safely at a fair price. I was impressed. The other two projects were clearing buckthorn and diseased trees (while leaving more desirable species) in various areas of my lot. In both cases Mike and his crew did a great job and I was extremely pleased with the result. When ever I need tree service, Mike is the guy I call!"

"AMG Tree Service was very professional and easy to work with. They were very quick to respond and inquired as to my expectations of the removal of the stumps and how else they could help. They also trimmed a branch and removed a dead tree for me. I was amazed at how quick and efficient they were. So pleased with their work and how fast and respectful to the property and making sure everything was cleaned well. I definitely recommend them as they did such an awesome job and the price was reasonable. Thank you!"

"Big trees requiring a lot of trimming. Received a lot of high estimates and false promises. Glad I called Green Yards. Jose came out and was very professional and gave me a fantastic price. The team showed up and they went far and beyond what I expected. Used a cherry picker to get way up into the trees. Cleanup was perfect. Do yourself a favor and call this company for your tree project, you will be glad you did!"

"Jim was very responsive and came out to provide a bid on the work I requested.  His price was reasonable compared to other offers I considered.  I was very happy with the work he and his crew provided.  The trimmed trees have all the overgrown lower limbs removed and now have a great shape. Jim was very professional and kept me informed on the work.  His estimate was exactly what he charged.

"Davey did a great job from the start. I got a call, a quick visit for an estimate and a relatively prompt schedule, considering the permits we had to get to prune a tree in my parkway. The permits went smoothly and signs appeared to block parking. The team arrived on time and expertly drove the cherry picker into my 30' mulberry (male, no berries), cutting away dead branches, suckers, and shaping up the big branches below the canopy. Another team member pulled 3 arbor vitaes out of the back. They were just unnecessary and were shading my garden, so they had to go in the chipper with the mulberry branches. Every person was extremely professional and I'd say deft, based on observing them working. The tree looks great, the new garden bed looks great."

FAQs for tree service projects in Island Lake, IL

Professionals remove shrubs by first cutting back the branches using tools like pruning shears or chainsaws for thicker stems. They then cut the base close to the ground and dig around the root system to remove the roots completely, preventing regrowth. Finally, they’ll ensure proper disposal of branches and debris while complying with local regulations.

A bush stump will regrow if any portion of its root system remains. When even a small section of roots is left behind, new shoots emerge and regenerate the bush with leggy, spreading growth. Working with a professional landscaper ensures the complete removal of the stump and all roots, which is essential to prevent any regrowth, ensuring that the area remains clear and maintenance is minimized.
