Why Tree Removals Are Done
As unfortunate as it is, sometimes trees need to be removed when their growing risk outweighs the benefits of keeping them on your property. At RG TREE, we offer professional tree removal services in Chicago to keep your home or business safe, functional, and beautiful.
Many common reasons for tree removal include trees growing too close to power lines, gutters, or overhanging your roof—posing a safety hazard during storms or high winds. Trees in these locations can lead to costly property damage or even power outages.
Another reason to consider removing a tree is to make room for a new project on your property. Whether you're building a deck, garage, patio, or simply trying to open up your yard, trees in the wrong place can halt progress and reduce your usable space.
In some cases, non-native trees planted years ago may grow out of control, overtaking your lawn and becoming difficult to manage. Other times, trees suffer from disease, pests, or environmental stress, causing them to die slowly and become both a safety hazard and an eyesore—hurting your home’s curb appeal.
Before recommending complete removal, we always assess the tree's condition and explore alternatives such as tree pruning, limb reduction, and hazard mitigation. These techniques can significantly reduce risk while preserving the tree's beauty and environmental value. However, if the tree is too far gone or poses a serious threat, we may suggest a full hazardous tree removal—with or without stump grinding, based on your needs.
Tree removal is one of the most dangerous tasks in residential and commercial tree care, especially when dealing with tall, dead, or structurally compromised trees. That’s why it’s best to leave it to experienced professionals. With over 30 years of hands-on experience, RG TREE has safely removed hundreds of invasive, dead, and dangerous trees across South Side Chicago and beyond.

These trees were removed because they were too close to the fence, power lines were running through the trees, and the branches were over the neighor's property heading towards their roof.
