Welcome to Chicagoland Tree Care Advisor's website!

After the success of the newsletter we were asked about a website and here it is.

The ideals behind the newsletter and the website are the same as we have as certified arborists:

• To provide tree care information for homeowners in a way that allows them to make the best choices in the planning, care and planting of trees.

• To consult in the most unbiased and honest way.

We plan to put a lot of tree care information on this website. This is meant to help homeowners understand what is going on with their trees. It is still important to have a qualified, certified arborist inspect and evaluate your trees on an annual basis.

Please keep in mind that money spent on maintaining the health and beauty of your trees is not a frivolous expenditure but an investment.   Statistics show that your landscape is up to 20% of the value of your property.  When you spend money on your trees you can feel good about it because you are investing in your property which for most people is the biggest investment they are going to make in their lifetime. Healthy, better looking trees are worth more. You can also feel good because you are helping the environment; not only the environment around your home but your community and the world.

You can find back issues of the newsletter on this website. New issues of the newsletter can be found here too. Plus, we are now offering consulting services.

Working in the Chicagoland area for 15+ 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 has an extensive knowledge of other plants including flowers and turf.
