Tree Removal on Home Ground in Mount Pulaski, IL

Mount Pulaski is a city of about 1,540 people in Logan County, Illinois, 11.8 road miles and about 20 minutes southeast of Lincoln, built on a glacial ridge that puts the square about 680 feet up, higher than almost anything around it. It was the Logan County seat from 1848 to 1855, and the courthouse from those years still stands on the square as a state historic site; the town is named for Casimir Pulaski, and the high school teams are the Hilltoppers for a reason.

Brett Aper grew up on a corn-and-soybean farm outside town and still drives through most weeks. The ridge catches every wind that crosses the county, and the big sugar maples, white oaks and silver maples on the old blocks around the square show it in split crotches and dead leaders.

Why a Lincoln Crew Comes to Mount Pulaski

Why Folks in Mount Pulaski Call Us

The Owner's Home Road

Brett was raised outside Mount Pulaski and drives through it most weeks, so an estimate here is usually booked within a couple of days and a storm call gets a same-day look. Kelsey pairs it with Latham and Chestnut work.

Big Oaks and Maples on the Square Blocks

The white oaks and sugar maples on the old blocks around the courthouse are big now and stand over roofs, sidewalks and service drops. We climb, rig and lower every piece, and we leave oak pruning for the fall and winter months to keep oak wilt out of a sound tree.

Wind on the Ridge

Mount Pulaski sits higher than the country around it, and a thunderstorm or an ice storm hits the ridge first. We look for cracked leaders and lifted root plates on the silver maples before spring and say plainly what should come down.

A City With Its Own Code

Mount Pulaski writes its own ordinances, separate from Lincoln's, so a tree over a city street means a quick call to city hall, and we tell you what it says. Outside the city, ask your fire protection district before burning.

Mount Pulaski Questions, Answered

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Mount Pulaski?

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 Mount Pulaski. Our permits page covers the towns around the county.

How soon can you get to Mount Pulaski?

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.
