When you need it
Leaves turning early or spotting, dead branches, thin canopy, mushrooms at the base, cracks, peeling bark, holes or sawdust from insects, or a tree that changed after a storm or construction. Also when you're deciding whether to save a tree or take it down.
What happens
An ISA Certified Arborist (Ryan or Becky) visits, walks the property with you, and checks each tree you're worried about: leaves, branches, trunk, roots and the soil around it. You get a plain answer and a written report with what we found and what we recommend. That might be pruning, treatment, cabling, fertilizing, watching it, or removal.

$85 inside the Champaign, Urbana and Savoy city limits, plus $2 a mile outside them. Quotes for tree work like removals and pruning are free. The evaluation is for diagnosing a problem.

Questions people ask
Can you tell what's wrong from a photo?
Sometimes we can narrow it down, but many problems look alike. Seeing the tree in person is much more reliable.
Will you just tell me to cut it down?
No. We'd rather save a good tree, and we'll tell you honestly when that makes sense.
Is my ash tree worth treating for emerald ash borer?
Often yes, if it still has most of its canopy. An evaluation tells you.
