Working in the Chicagoland area for 29+ years in the green industry has given us an appreciation of the unique environment that we live in. Our main focus has always been plant health care. From installation to maintenance to diagnosing problems, we have done pretty much every job there is to do in tree care. We also have a good understanding of turf care, flowers and other landscaping plants.

Chris has been an ISA certified arborist since 1998 and is licensed as a commercial pesticide applicator in Illinois.

When you have a tree care company come out to look at your trees, can you be sure that the recommendations they are making are what's best for you or them? The answer is you can't be sure. They are in the business of providing services. They might recommend a service your trees don't need just so they can make money. If a company tells you the initial estimate and evaluation is worth a certain amount of money and they are doing it for "free", you can bet they are making that amount up by overpricing or doing services you do not need. After all, if they are doing all this "free" stuff they would not be in business very long.

That won't happen if you have us look at your trees. We don't offer any other services except telling you what your trees need. We will not be making any money other than our consultation fees.

There is no conflict of interest with our service!

We have been working with trees in the Chicagoland area for over 15 years.  We specialize in plant health care; diagnosing disease, insect and cultural problems. We offer basic tree evaluation, insurance claims, expert witness, tree inspection for home sales and other services.

Chris also writes children's stories about trees and tree care that are illustrated by his wife.
