Chicago Tree Service That Knows This City

Tree care isn’t the same from one neighborhood to the next. The soil under a Logan Square greystone is different from the lakefront clay in Edgewater. An older North Side block might be lined with elms that need careful disease monitoring. A new West Loop condo development might have young honey locusts stressed by compacted sidewalk planters. Knowing your area matters.

Windy City Tree Services has been working in Chicago neighborhoods for over two decades. We know the tree species common to each part of the city, the soil and drainage conditions that affect tree health, and the local permit requirements that vary by property type. That local knowledge speeds up every job and leads to better outcomes for your trees.

We handle everything from routine tree trimming and stump grinding to large-scale commercial tree service contracts and 24/7 emergency tree removal. Licensed and insured on every job, with ISA-certified arborists on staff and modern equipment to handle any size project safely.

Our Chicago Service Areas

Seven geographic regions covering every Chicago neighborhood — with individual location pages launching soon for each community.

🏙️

Downtown Chicago Tree Services

The Loop, River North, West Loop, Streeterville & Near North Side

Downtown Chicago presents some of the most technically demanding tree work in the city. Dense urban planting, utility infrastructure, pedestrian corridors, and proximity to commercial buildings all factor into every job. Our crews work regularly in this environment — managing street trees, planters, courtyard trees, and commercial property landscapes across Chicago’s core.

Common Tree Species

Honey locust, ginkgo, ornamental pear, crabapple, elm, and skyline hackberry are common throughout downtown Chicago’s streetscapes.

Property Types

Commercial buildings, hotels, condominiums, mixed-use developments, parking structures, plazas, and urban courtyards.

Common Services

Commercial tree maintenance, pruning for pedestrian clearance, emergency removal, structural assessments, and crane-assisted work.

North Side Tree Services

Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Rogers Park, Edgewater, Uptown & more

Chicago’s North Side is one of the most tree-rich parts of the city. Mature elm, oak, and maple-lined streets run through established neighborhoods like Lincoln Park and Lincoln Square. The lakefront creates unique wind exposure that affects tree health and structural stability. Our arborists know these neighborhoods well — from the historic greystone blocks of Roscoe Village to the high-density corridors of Uptown.

Common Tree Species

Oak, maple, elm, linden, crabapple, ash (watch for emerald ash borer), hackberry, and honey locust throughout North Side residential streets.

Property Types

Single-family homes, greystones, multi-flats, condominiums, commercial strips, schools, and lakefront park areas.

Common Services

Tree trimming, removal of storm-damaged trees, emerald ash borer treatment, stump grinding, and health inspections for mature trees.

Northwest Chicago Tree Services

Jefferson Park, Norwood Park, Edison Park, Portage Park & surrounding areas

The Northwest Side is one of Chicago’s most residential regions — characterized by bungalow blocks, two-flats, and well-established tree canopy developed over decades. Larger single-family lots in Norwood Park and Edison Park mean bigger trees and more complex removal projects. This part of the city sees significant tree call volume after Chicago’s frequent spring and summer storms.

Common Tree Species

Silver maple, cottonwood, ash, spruce, pine, honey locust, and various ornamentals on residential lots throughout the Northwest Side.

Property Types

Bungalows, two-flats, single-family homes, small commercial strips, schools, and park district properties near O’Hare.

Common Services

Storm cleanup, large tree removal, stump grinding, hazard assessments, and trimming near power lines and structures.

West Side Tree Services

Logan Square, Wicker Park, Humboldt Park, Austin & surrounding neighborhoods

Chicago’s West Side includes a mix of rapidly developing neighborhoods like Wicker Park and Logan Square alongside long-established communities in Humboldt Park and Austin. Tree canopy varies considerably across this region — from well-maintained boulevard trees on Logan Boulevard to properties that need more significant care. We work extensively across the West Side for both residential clients and commercial property owners.

Common Tree Species

Elm, maple, honey locust, hackberry, Kentucky coffeetree on boulevard streets; cottonwood and silver maple are common on interior blocks.

Property Types

Greystones, two-flats, single-family homes, mixed-use buildings, commercial corridors, and parks along the boulevard system.

Common Services

Tree removal, boulevard tree pruning, health assessments, stump grinding, and commercial property maintenance programs.

Far South Chicago Tree Services

Beverly, Morgan Park, Mount Greenwood, South Shore, Chatham & more

Chicago’s Far South Side includes some of the most spacious residential lots in the city, particularly in Beverly and Morgan Park where mature canopy trees are a defining feature. Deep-rooted oaks, large maples, and established elms are common here. Properties with bigger trees mean more complex jobs, and our crews are well experienced with the removal, pruning, and preservation work common in this part of Chicago.

Common Tree Species

Large oaks, maple, elm, ash, hackberry, and mature ornamentals common in Beverly and Morgan Park; mixed canopy further south in Roseland and South Shore.
