Tree Removal on Old Route 66 in Broadwell, IL

Broadwell is a village of about 135 people in Logan County, Illinois, 7.9 road miles and about 14 minutes southwest of Lincoln, with I-55 passing its west side at exit 119. It sat directly on U.S. Route 66 from 1926 to 1978, and the old northbound lane is still the main street through town.

William Broadwell and Jacob Eisiminger platted it in 1856 as the railroad came through, and for decades it shipped hogs, corn, wheat and soybeans; Ernie Edwards ran the Pig Hip restaurant here from 1937 to 1991, and the building burned in March 2007. The village is small lots with big yard trees: silver maple and hackberry over the roofs, dead ash the borer left behind, Scotch pine and blue spruce planted for shelter, and Osage orange hedgerows along the fields on every side.

Why a Lincoln Crew Comes to Broadwell

Why Folks in Broadwell Call Us

Fourteen Minutes Down the Old Road

Broadwell is the first place we reach from Lincoln, so a silver maple limb on a roof or a split Bradford pear over the drive is usually looked at the same day. Kelsey fits a routine estimate here into almost any week.

Dead Ash on Village Lots

Most of the ash in Broadwell yards are gone or going, and a dead ash gets brittle fast. We take them from the bucket while the wood still holds, rig every piece over the roof and the fence, and haul or chip it all.

Straight-Line Wind Off the Fields

Nothing between the corn and a Broadwell yard slows a summer thunderstorm. We look for cracked leaders and hanging wood on the maples and hackberries before storm season and say plainly what should come down.

Village Ground, Village Rules

Broadwell is an incorporated village with its own ordinances, so a tree over a village street means a quick call to the village office, and we tell you what it says. A tree on your own lot is your decision; outside the village, check with your fire protection district before burning brush, or we chip and haul.

Broadwell Questions, Answered

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Broadwell?

Not for a tree wholly on your own lot. Lincoln's parkway consent, trimming notice and burn days end at the Lincoln city limits, so they do not reach Broadwell. Our permits page covers the towns around the county.

How soon can you get to Broadwell?

Call (217) 555-0136. Storm damage gets a same-day or next-day answer, and a night emergency is made safe that night and cut at daylight.
