Tree Trimming in Williamsville

Springfield Tree Trimming Pros provides tree trimming throughout Williamsville and the greater Springfield, IL area.

Williamsville is a small village north of Springfield along I-55 that functions primarily as a bedroom community for Springfield and Lincoln commuters. The village has a compact older core with established trees and a ring of newer residential development. Being right on I-55 means the village has seen incremental growth over the decades without the explosive subdivision development of some other suburbs. Tree work here tends to involve a mix of older in-town trees and younger subdivision plantings.

Overgrown or dead branches drop fast during the ice storms that hit central Illinois every winter. Springfield sits in a wide-open prairie with no natural windbreak, so trees here take the full force of those storms. A lot of the older neighborhoods like Iles Park and Laurel Hills have silver maples and cottonwoods that were planted in the 1960s and are now pushing 60 feet tall — those limbs get heavy, and heavy limbs fall.

We look at the tree in person before we quote anything, because a photo doesn't show a hollow trunk or a root system heaving up against a foundation. We cut to the branch collar — that's the slight ridge where the branch meets the trunk — so the tree seals itself over instead of rotting from an open wound left by a flush cut.
