Growing up, my parents had a landscape design company. I can help plan and execute the design of your yard and flower pots in a professional manner. I do NOT have a car available for picking up supplies(plants, soil, mulch, ect) but I'm happy to meet you at Home Depot to help. I do NOT install artificial turf, but I can rip it up to make room for a real garden. The bees, butterflies, and all wildlife need us to do our part. Encourage pollination! Let's do this!

Frequently asked questions about Tree Trimming services

Winter, when trees are dormant, is generally the best season for pruning in Chicago.

If a tree trunk is on your neighbor's property, they're responsible for its maintenance, including trimming any hazardous branches. While you can't compel them to trim, you can prune branches overhanging your yard up to the property line. Do so carefully and preferably with your neighbor's agreement. If you damage a tree due to improper pruning, you might be liable for thrice its replacement value. Note that professional tree trimming costs are typically not your neighbor's responsibility.

It had lots of weeds, the grass was growing into the flower bed, and the bushes and plants were overgrown. Julius was communicative, made great suggestions how to make it look better, and he had lots of knowledge to share. I would absolutely recommend Julius and will definitely be hiring him again for other tasks! Tree trimming

Tree Trimming in Chicago

Safe and secure trimming

Attempting to trim branches while balancing on a ladder is risky. Leave the job to a nearby tree trimming service with the proper safety equipment and tools to manage even the tallest trees while you stay safe on solid ground.

Cost-effective care

Wondering how much tree trimming costs? Factor in savings from not buying and storing specialized equipment and the peace of mind of long-term tree health from an expert arborist. This makes tree trimming costs a valuable investment for your property's aesthetic and safety.

Timely tree care

Experts recommend winter pruning when trees are dormant, but braving the cold and winds for tree maintenance isn't appealing. Entrust this job to a seasoned Tasker while you enjoy winter activities like skating the Maggie Daley Ribbon.

Experienced tree trimming services in your neighborhood

Taskers in your community are readily available for urgent tree damage situations, offering prompt and efficient service. Whether it's emergency storm damage or routine maintenance, Taskers can provide same- or next-day help.

There's a better way

Proper tree pruning is essential for their health and beauty. If you want your trees to look and be at their best, rely on experienced Taskers who know the best practices for maintaining them.

Tree Care Advice

After a storm, assess your trees for damage like broken branches, exposed roots, and split trunks. If your tree is leaning, it may indicate underlying root or trunk issues requiring treatment. For branches over two inches in diameter or suspected root damage, contact a local tree trimming company off Taskrabbit for expert assistance. Be sure to keep an eye out for branches entangled with power lines. If you find any on or near your property, do not attempt to handle them yourself. Immediately call a professional to address the situation safely and effectively.
