A well-maintained tree is the crown jewel of any yard, but trees that are left to grow wild can quickly become a problem. When branches get too heavy, they block out the sunlight your grass needs to grow, and they become a serious risk of snapping off during a windy day. We are your friendly, neighborhood experts in canopy care. We provide a top-tier tree trimming service and expert tree pruning service in Vernon Hills, IL. We don't just hack away at branches; we carefully shape your trees so they look gorgeous, grow strong, and stay perfectly safe for your family.
While people use the words interchangeably, there is a science to what we do.
If you have fruit trees in your backyard, you know they require a special touch. Pruning fruit trees is completely different from pruning a giant oak. If you want a great harvest, you have to open up the center of the tree so sunlight and fresh air can reach the blossoms. We know exactly when and where to make these cuts during the dormant season, encouraging your trees to produce heavy, delicious fruit instead of just wasting energy on growing more leaves.
A lot of amateurs practice a terrible technique called "topping," where they just chop the top half of the tree completely off to make it shorter. This is incredibly bad for the tree. It creates huge wounds that rot, and the tree will frantically grow weak, ugly branches to survive. We practice proper, healthy pruning. We make clean cuts at the right angles so the tree can heal itself beautifully.
Keep your yard looking beautiful and protect your home from falling deadwood. Let our friendly experts shape and prune your canopy the right way.

The land that was to become Vernon Hills, founded by Richard Theodore Freese, Ron Freese, and Jim Carswell, began with the establishment of a 200-acre (0.81 km2) farm in 1857. Use of the land remained relatively static until the 1960s, when part of it was purchased for a residential community and golf course; the development was the first use of the name "Vernon Hills." On June 16, 1958, the village officially incorporated with 123 residents and 125 houses in a single subdivision built by Quinn Hogan and Barney Loeb. During these times, the village and police department were run from a local motel until 1971 when village trustees bought two portable buildings. It saw steady but slow growth until the annexing of a plot of land near the corner of IL-60 and IL-21 in 1971, which led to the building of 1,200,000-square-foot (110,000 m2) Hawthorn Center. By 1980, the village's population had grown to almost 10,000 residents, and by 2000, it had surpassed 20,000.
