When a Tree Becomes a Problem, We Provide the Solution
While we love healthy trees, sometimes removal is the only safe and practical option. A dead or dying tree can become a serious hazard to your home and family, and storm damage can create an urgent need for action. Whether you’re dealing with a dangerous tree, clearing space for a new project, or removing a tree that’s just in the wrong place, B&L Tree Service is here to help.
We provide professional tree removal services throughout Mattoon and the surrounding communities, ensuring the job is done safely and with respect for your property.
Common Reasons for Tree Removal in Central Illinois
Every situation is unique, but most tree removals are done to address a specific problem or risk. Here are some of the most common reasons we’re called to a property:
- Dead, Dying, or Diseased Trees: A tree that is no longer healthy can become unpredictable. Dead branches can fall without warning, and diseases can potentially spread to other healthy trees on your property. If you notice large dead branches, fungus growing on the trunk, or a lack of leaves in the spring, it’s time for an inspection.
- Storm-Damaged Trees: The high winds and ice storms we see in Central Illinois can cause severe damage. A tree that is leaning, has a split trunk, or has lost major limbs may be structurally compromised and pose a significant risk to your home, vehicles, or power lines.
- A Tree is Too Close to a Structure: If a tree was planted too close to your home, its root system can threaten your foundation over time. Likewise, overgrown branches can damage your roof and siding, making removal a necessary preventative measure.
- Clearing Land for a New Project: Are you planning to build a new garage, put in a pool, or expand your garden? Sometimes a healthy tree is simply in the way of your future plans. We can help you clear the space you need to move forward with your project.
Our Tree Removal Process: What to Expect
We don’t just show up and start cutting. Every tree removal is a carefully planned process designed to protect your property and our crew. Here’s what you can expect when you work with us:
- Honest Assessment & Clear Quote: We start by providing a free, on-site evaluation. We’ll inspect the tree, discuss your goals, and explain the safest and most effective removal method before providing a clear, detailed estimate.
- Site Preparation & Safety: On removal day, our crew will arrive and prepare the site. We take care to protect your property, clearing the area and planning every step to ensure the safety of your home and our team.
- Strategic & Safe Dismantling: Using professional-grade equipment, we carefully dismantle the tree in sections. Large limbs are safely roped and lowered to the ground to prevent any damage to your lawn, home, or surrounding landscaping.
- Thorough Cleanup: We believe a job isn’t finished until the cleanup is done. Once the tree is down, we ensure all branches, leaves, and debris are completely cleared and hauled away from your property.
- Final Touches & Stump Grinding: We can finish the job by grinding the stump down below the surface. This removes the tripping hazard and leaves you with a clean slate, ready for new grass or landscaping.
