About Midway Tree Service

Midway Tree Service operates out of Chicago, Illinois, serving one of the country's most densely built urban environments where tree work requires a different level of skill than suburban or rural jobs. They carry a 4-star rating from their reviewed customers and bring local knowledge to a city where overhead lines, narrow gangways, and closely packed buildings make every tree job more complicated. The Midway area on Chicago's southwest side has a mix of residential blocks, commercial corridors, and parks where aging trees regularly need attention. A local crew that knows these blocks is a real advantage.

Services & Process

Midway Tree Service handles tree removal, trimming, pruning, and stump grinding across Chicago's residential and commercial properties. Urban tree removal in Chicago often means sectional work, carefully lowering branches and sections in tight spaces where a standard fell isn't possible. Trimming services address dead wood, crossed branches, and overgrowth that can become hazardous near homes, power lines, or pedestrian walkways. Emergency storm cleanup is particularly relevant in Chicago, where severe wind events can bring down limbs and whole trees onto cars, fences, and rooftops.

Service Area

Midway Tree Service is based in Chicago, IL, with the southwest side as their home turf. They serve surrounding neighborhoods and can reach nearby communities like Cicero, Burbank, and Oak Lawn without much travel time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Midway Tree Service remove a tree in a Chicago backyard with limited access?
Limited access is the norm in Chicago, and experienced urban tree crews plan for it. They typically use hand tools, aerial lifts, or rigging systems to work in backyards accessible only through a gate or gangway, breaking the tree down in sections to move material through tight spaces.
What should I do if a tree falls on my Chicago property after a storm?
If the tree is on a structure or blocking a vehicle, call 911 first if there's any safety risk. For non-emergency storm damage, contact a tree service as soon as possible and document the damage with photos for your insurance company. Chicago tree service crews book up quickly after major storms, so calling early matters.
Does the City of Chicago trim trees on the parkway, or is that my responsibility?
Trees planted in the parkway between the sidewalk and street are technically city trees, and Chicago's Bureau of Forestry handles their maintenance. Trees on your private property, even if they overhang the parkway, are your responsibility to maintain.
How do I get a quote from Midway Tree Service?
You can call them directly at (773) 838-3800 to describe your situation and set up an on-site estimate. Having the address ready and a basic description of what you need will help them prepare for the visit.
Are there restrictions on tree removal in Chicago?
Chicago requires a permit to remove trees on private property that meet certain size thresholds, and there are additional rules around trees in designated landmark districts. A local tree service familiar with Chicago's regulations can help you figure out whether a permit is required before work starts.
What's the difference between tree trimming and tree pruning?
Trimming typically refers to cutting back overgrowth to manage size and shape, while pruning is more targeted, removing specific branches to improve structure, health, or safety. Both are important parts of ongoing tree maintenance, and a good arborist can tell you which approach your trees actually need.
