Why Homeowners Choose Our Tree Company

When you invite a tree crew onto your property, you are trusting them with your home, your yard, and your safety. Monster Tree Service of the North Shore is a tree company Arlington Heights residents turn to because we focus on safe work practices, property protection, and straightforward communication from the first call through final clean up. We handle everything from single tree removals to multi tree projects and routine care, so you can work with one reliable team instead of juggling several contractors.

Our crews arrive prepared with professional grade equipment that is suited to the compact lots and close neighbors common in established neighborhoods. Before any cutting begins, we look at each tree, note nearby structures and utility areas in general terms, and plan how to bring branches down in controlled sections. This approach helps reduce the chance of damage to roofs, fences, patios, and gardens while we work.

Because we live and work here, we also understand how local weather and soil conditions affect trees over time. We see similar types of maples, oaks, and ornamental trees across the community, and we use that experience when we recommend pruning, removal, or maintenance. Our customers appreciate that we explain options in plain language, outline what is included, and answer questions about timing and cost before work begins.

Tree Care Services for Your Property

Every property is different, and there is no single solution that fits every tree. Our tree care services cover the most common needs homeowners and small property managers face, whether that is a clearly dead tree, branches dropping debris on the driveway, or a large tree that needs to be shaped for better light and clearance. We work to match the service to the actual condition of the tree and the way you use your outdoor space.

Our core tree care services include:

• Tree removal: For trees that are dead, severely damaged, or growing too close to structures, we plan removals so that each section comes down under control. This is especially important in backyards where there is little open space and where trees may lean over garages, sheds, or neighboring fences.
• Pruning and trimming: Thoughtful pruning can improve safety and appearance at the same time. We remove problem limbs that hang over roofs or walkways, clear branches from driveways and sidewalks, and thin crowded canopies so more light reaches lawns and gardens.
• Tree health focused care: Some trees need selective pruning or care to address broken limbs, crossing branches, or stress from recent storms. In these situations, our goal is to support structure and reduce hazards while keeping the tree whenever it is reasonable to do so.
• Stump related work: Depending on your plans for the space, we can discuss options to deal with remaining stumps so they are less of an eyesore or obstacle in daily use of the yard.

These tree care services are available for single family homes, multi unit properties managed by owners, and small commercial sites that want to keep their entrances and parking lots safer and more attractive. When you reach out, we focus first on what you are seeing and what you want to achieve, then recommend a service approach that fits.

Tree Maintenance & Ongoing Care

Many problems with trees do not appear suddenly. Branches grow gradually closer to roofs and wires, canopies become dense, and minor storm damage can weaken limbs over time. Regular tree maintenance can help reduce surprise issues and support the long term health and appearance of your yard. Monster Tree Service of the North Shore works as a tree maintenance company for homeowners who prefer a planned, proactive approach instead of waiting for something to break.

Maintenance can include periodic inspections to check for dead wood, weak branch unions, or changes in lean that could signal a concern. It also often involves structural pruning on younger trees to encourage strong form, as well as clearance trimming around roofs, driveways, and pathways so everyday use stays safe and comfortable. In a place that sees heavy snow, ice, and strong winds at different times of the year, this kind of care can make a meaningful difference in how trees handle weather.

Our team works with you to set a schedule that fits your property and routine. Some customers prefer a visit every year to keep up with growth, while others ask for an inspection after major storm seasons. We strive to make ongoing tree maintenance simple, predictable, and respectful of your time, with clear communication about what will be done at each visit.

How Our Tree Contractors Work on Your Property

Understanding how our tree contractors approach a job can give you confidence before anyone sets foot on your property. At Monster Tree Service of the North Shore, we follow a clear process that keeps you informed and helps protect your home and yard. From the first conversation to the end of clean up, our focus stays on safety, organization, and respect for your space.

It typically begins with a visit to look at the trees you are concerned about and talk through what you would like to see change. A member of our team will walk the area, note access points such as driveways or side yards, and look for nearby features like sheds, patios, play equipment, and general utility locations. We then discuss practical options, explain what each option involves, and outline pricing in straightforward terms so you can decide how to proceed.

On the day of service, our tree contractors arrive with the equipment suited to your property, whether that is climbing gear, rigging lines, or machinery that can fit safely in the available space. Before cutting begins, we review the plan, confirm the scope with you, and stage the work area to limit impact on lawns and landscaping as much as possible. Branches and wood are lowered in sections rather than simply dropped, which is especially important in yards where there is limited open ground.

After the cutting and hauling are complete, we clean up debris from the work area so your yard does not feel like a job site. This includes raking, blowing, and gathering material that came down during the process. Before we leave, we are available to walk the finished work with you, answer questions, and talk about any future tree maintenance you might want to consider.

Local Tree Service With Arlington Heights Know How

Working with a local tree service means you get a team that already understands the character of your neighborhood and the conditions your trees face. In Arlington Heights, many properties have mature shade trees that were planted decades ago, along with smaller ornamental trees added more recently. This mix creates both beauty and challenges, especially on lots where houses, driveways, and fences sit close together.

Our crew regularly works on streets where access is limited to narrow driveways or shared side yards, and where branches may hang over alleys or public sidewalks. We plan our equipment use and cutting methods around these realities so we can carry out tree contractors Arlington Heights jobs in a way that respects both your property and nearby spaces. When a tree grows close to utility areas or sidewalks, we take those features into account as we plan how to work safely.

Local weather also plays a part in how we think about tree care. Heavy snow and ice can weigh down limbs in winter, while summer storms can bring strong winds that stress older branches. Because we see how common local species respond to these conditions, we can suggest pruning patterns and maintenance intervals that aim to reduce avoidable breakage and improve safety over time.

When you call our local tree service, you are not reaching a distant call center. You are contacting a team that works here, drives these streets, and cares about keeping trees in the community safer and more manageable for the people who live and work here.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Know If a Tree Is Unsafe & Needs Removal?

Some warning signs can suggest that a tree may not be safe, although a professional visit is the best way to make a solid recommendation. You might notice large dead branches high in the canopy, significant cracks in the trunk, mushrooms or decay at the base, or a lean that has changed over time. Branches that frequently drop, even in mild weather, can also signal internal problems. If a tree with any of these signs is close to your house, driveway, or a place where people spend time, it is a good idea to have our team assess it. We look at the overall structure and location of the tree and then explain whether removal or targeted pruning makes the most sense.

What Happens During a Tree Service Estimate at My Home?

During an estimate, our goal is to understand your concerns, see the trees in person, and give you clear information about options and pricing. A member of our team will walk the property with you, look at the specific trees you point out, and note nearby features such as buildings, fences, or general utility areas. We may ask how long the issue has been present and whether you have seen any changes after storms or seasons. After the inspection, we discuss what we recommend, explain the work in everyday terms, and provide pricing based on the size of the job and the equipment required. You can then take time to decide what you want to schedule without pressure.

How Will Your Crew Protect My House, Lawn, & Landscaping?

Protecting your property is a core part of how we plan and carry out tree work. Before cutting, our crew looks at the best paths for equipment and branch removal to limit wear on grass and planting beds. We use controlled lowering techniques so that branches do not free fall onto roofs, fences, or patios. In tighter yards, we may break material into smaller sections that are easier to guide safely to the ground. After the work, we clean up branches, twigs, and sawdust from the work area so your lawn and beds look cared for rather than trampled.

Can You Prune Trees Instead of Removing Them?

In many situations, careful pruning can address safety and clearance issues without removing the entire tree. If a tree is generally healthy but has limbs overhanging a roof, blocking a sidewalk, or rubbing together, pruning can improve structure and reduce risk. During our visit, we look at the overall condition of the tree, where it is located, and how it is growing. When we believe pruning is a reasonable option, we explain which branches we would remove or shorten and how that will affect both safety and appearance. If we see signs that the tree is severely compromised or unstable, we will explain why removal may be the safer choice.

Do You Offer Ongoing Tree Maintenance Plans?

We do support ongoing tree maintenance for customers who want regular care instead of one time visits only. This can range from annual or periodic inspections to scheduled pruning that keeps growth away from roofs, driveways, and neighboring properties. When we first work on your trees, we can discuss how quickly they tend to grow, how the weather affects them, and what level of maintenance makes sense for your goals and budget. Together we can outline a practical schedule so you know when to expect follow up visits. Our aim is to keep your trees manageable and your property safer over time, not just respond when there is already a problem.

What Should I Do Before Your Tree Contractors Arrive?

Before our crew arrives, there are a few simple steps you can take to make the day go more smoothly. If possible, move vehicles out of driveways or areas where equipment will need access, and secure pets indoors or in a safe enclosed space away from the work zone. It also helps to remove personal items such as outdoor furniture or toys from directly under the trees we will be working on. If any gates are locked, making sure we can enter the yard is important. Beyond that, our team handles staging, protective steps, and clean up, and we review the plan with you before we begin.

Can Your Local Tree Service Help After a Storm?

We can often assist with trees that have been affected by storms, such as broken branches hanging in the canopy or damaged trees that now lean or pose a concern. After you contact us, we work to assess the situation, with priority given to conditions that appear to create immediate risk to people or structures when practical. During the visit, we look at what has changed because of the storm and explain what we recommend for removal or pruning. While specific response times depend on overall demand and conditions in the community, our focus is on handling storm related work as safely and efficiently as we can.
