Chestnut, IL: Tree Work at the State's Center

Chestnut is a community of about 220 people in Logan County, Illinois, 18.7 road miles and about 29 minutes southeast of Lincoln, sitting across the railroad tracks along Illinois Route 54 at Dauphin Street. David Clark laid it out in 1872 with the directors of the railroad and it was named for one of them; an 1898 vote to incorporate failed, so it is still unincorporated ground under the county.

Chestnut claims to be the geographic center of Illinois and keeps a monument in the park to say so, though the surveyed center lies about eight miles southwest. Being the middle of the state means being the middle of the prairie: flat black ground, big skies and no shelter from a derecho or an ice storm. The yards carry silver maple, sugar maple, hackberry and catalpa, with dead ash on the lot lines and Osage orange in the fence rows.

Why a Lincoln Crew Comes to Chestnut

Why Folks in Chestnut Call Us

Twenty-Nine Minutes Southeast

Chestnut is on our run through Mount Pulaski toward Latham, so Kelsey groups the estimates and the dates come quickly. A storm call gets a same-day or next-day answer, and there is no trip charge in Logan County.

Catalpas and Maples Over Small Lots

The catalpas and silver maples on Chestnut lots grew fast and are shedding limbs now. We take the hazard wood over the house first, reduce the rest properly, and tell you plainly when a tree is past saving.

Trees Next to the Tracks

Chestnut's trees stand close to the railroad and the service drops. Marco plans the drop zone and the equipment path before a saw starts, and nothing lands on the tracks or the wires.

Unincorporated, County Ground

Chestnut has no village office, so a tree on your own lot is your call and no parkway rule applies. Outside the Lincoln limits, Illinois open-burning rules govern a brush pile, so check with your fire protection district first, or let us chip and haul it.

Chestnut Questions, Answered

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

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 Chestnut. Our permits page covers the towns around the county.

How soon can you get to Chestnut?

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.
