Detailed residential tree work in the Chicagoland area
North Branch Arboriculture
We want Chicago homeowners to have great relationships with their trees. We provide services from root to leaf, both short-term overhauls and long-term maintenance.
Inquiry - You tell us about the current status of your garden, and what changes you’d like.
Site Visit - We visit your garden to take photos and notes.
Tree List - We identify all trees present, and estimate how well their needs are being met.
Contract - We agree upon a schedule of services to be provided, and payment terms.
Ground Up - We sample the soil, test parameters, and amend as needed.
Clearing - We remove invasive species and anything else requested, and prepare fresh planting beds.
Root to Leaf - We inspect every detail of every tree, and prune (or graft) as needed.
Planting - Working with our hand-selected vendors, we’ll offer a menu of new plants that should work in your space.
Maintenance - Either we come back on a schedule, or we can help you develop your own plan.
We are two lifelong Chicago residents with a passion for arboriculture. We care about the trees of the city, and understand how important they are.
We have the certifications and experience required to excel in our field. What sets us apart is our connection to Chicago itself. We know its architecture, its changing seasons, its historic trees, and the particular challenges of growing a healthy urban forest alongside buildings, sidewalks, utilities, and generations of neighborhood development. We approach each property with an appreciation for both its natural environment and its place in the city's larger story.
