Local Knowledge
Tree Care Built Around Washington Heights
Washington Heights is Chicago’s Community Area 73, named for George Washington. It sits on the Blue Island Ridge alongside Beverly, Morgan Park, and Mount Greenwood. The neighborhood includes Brainerd and Fernwood and spans ZIP codes 60620, 60628, and 60643.
The ridge gave builders room to work with. Lots here tend to run wider than much of the South Side. Many bungalows and brick homes sit under decades old oaks and maples. That kind of canopy needs experienced hands, not a quick trim.
Windy City Tree Services applies the same tree service Chicago homeowners trust citywide to every Washington Heights job. We know the ridge terrain, the mature canopy, and the churches and schools that shape tree care needs here.
Common Tree Species
Large oaks, maples, elms, and hackberry are common on Washington Heights lots. Mature ash trees also remain and need borer monitoring.
Property Types
Bungalows, brick two flats, churches, schools, and larger single family homes with wide side yards along the ridge.
Common Services
Mature tree removal, cabling and bracing of large limbs, stump grinding, health inspections, and storm prep for big canopy trees.

Common Questions
Washington Heights Tree Service FAQs
Does Windy City Tree Services work in Washington Heights?
Yes. We cover all of Washington Heights, including Brainerd and Fernwood, across ZIP codes 60620, 60628, and 60643. Call (773) 249-0662 to confirm same day availability.
How much does tree removal cost in Washington Heights?
Most removals run between $400 and $2,500. Washington Heights has larger lots and mature oaks, so bigger trees can push costs higher than smaller South Side lots. We give a free written estimate before any work starts.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Washington Heights?
Parkway trees, the strip between the sidewalk and street, require a City of Chicago permit. Trees on private lots generally do not, though protected species have exceptions. We review your property during the estimate.
Why are Washington Heights trees so much larger than other neighborhoods?
Washington Heights sits on the Blue Island Ridge, higher ground with wider lots than much of Chicago. That extra space let oaks, maples, and elms grow large over many decades.

Yes. Our emergency line runs around the clock. If a storm drops a limb on your bungalow or garage, call (773) 249-0662. We send the closest available crew.
