Services & Process

Tree services typically include removal of hazardous or dead trees, trimming to clear branches away from structures, and stump grinding to eliminate tripping hazards and reclaim yard space. The landscaping side covers lawn maintenance, planting, and seasonal cleanup to keep your property looking sharp year-round. Gutter services, which complement their tree work perfectly, involve clearing out accumulated debris, checking for proper drainage, and sometimes repairing sagging sections. For Mount Prospect homeowners dealing with mature shade trees, having one crew handle the whole job from the treetops to the gutters is a real time-saver.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Empire Tree and Landscape handle both tree removal and gutter cleaning in the same visit?
Yes, that's one of the advantages of working with a company that offers both services. They can trim or remove branches and then clear your gutters of the resulting debris in a single trip, saving you time and coordination.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Mount Prospect?
Mount Prospect does have a tree preservation ordinance, and certain trees on your property may require a permit before removal. It's worth checking with the village directly, and a reputable local tree service will often help you understand what's required.
How do I know if a tree on my property is actually dangerous?
Signs to watch for include large dead branches, cracks or splits in the trunk, leaning that wasn't there before, and mushroom growth at the base, which can signal root rot. A professional assessment will give you a clear picture of risk before anything becomes an emergency.
What time of year is best for tree trimming in the Mount Prospect area?
Late winter or early spring, before new growth starts, is often ideal because trees are dormant and disease spread is lower. That said, hazardous branches or storm-damaged limbs should be addressed any time of year rather than waiting for an optimal season.
Will stump grinding damage my lawn or underground utilities?
Stump grinders work within a specific area around the stump, so lawn damage is usually minimal and contained. Before any grinding, a professional crew should check for underground utilities through JULIE (Illinois' free locate service) to avoid hitting gas or water lines.
How should I maintain my landscape after a tree has been removed?
After removal, the area benefits from fresh topsoil and either reseeding or replanting to prevent erosion and fill the gap. A landscaping crew can also advise on what plants or trees will thrive in that spot given the sun exposure now available.
