Tree Work That Fits Your Schedule

A business can't shut its parking lot for a day. We work early mornings, Saturdays or around your hours, cone off only the spaces we need, and keep a lane open. Photos before and after go to whoever manages the property, so nobody has to stand there and watch.

Decatur Elite Tree Service also provides HOA tree service and property management tree service to Decatur and nearby Illinois towns, including Mount Zion, Forsyth and Clinton. We send a certificate of insurance before the first job. Right now we look after 40 or so rental addresses for local landlords.

How Much Does Commercial Tree Service Cost in Decatur?

Commercial tree service in Decatur is priced per tree and per property, using the same ranges as homes: $250 to $1,200 to trim a tree and $400 to $1,900 for most removals. Big jobs, like a whole mobile home park or a dozen parking lot trees, get a lower per-tree price because the crew stays set up.

Parking Lot and Right-of-Way Trees

Trees along drives and lots need about 14 feet of clearance over the drive lanes for trucks and buses, and 8 feet over sidewalks. Low limbs get clipped by box trucks and then tear bark down the trunk. We've seen that wound kill a healthy oak in five years, so we raise them properly at the branch collar.

Storm Response for Businesses

Storms come first. Commercial customers on a plan get a call before we start the general list, and we open up your entrances and drive lanes so you can do business, then come back for the rest. Every storm job gets photos and a line-by-line invoice for your insurer. Last winter we cleared 9 church and school lots in one week.

Annual Tree Plans

For HOAs and parks with a lot of trees, a yearly walk works better than calling us one tree at a time. We list every tree that needs work, rank them by risk, and spread the cost over 12 months. Dead ash and anything over a roof or a drive goes first.

Storm Claim? We Document It

Photos before we cut, a written description of what fell and what it hit, and an itemized invoice your insurer can read.

Questions we hear

Commercial Tree Service FAQs

Can you work outside business hours?

Yes. We start at first light on weekdays and run Saturdays for churches, schools and shops that need an empty lot. Storm work on entrances and drive lanes happens whenever the storm does. Give us your hours on the walk, and we'll build the schedule around them.

Do you provide a certificate of insurance?

Yes. A certificate of insurance goes to the property manager, the HOA board or the owner before we start, and if your contract wants the owner named on it, that's no problem. Just ask for it along with your proposal.

Can you bill each property separately?

Sure can. Landlords and managers with several addresses get one itemized bill per property, with the photos attached. That way each cost lands on the right owner or account, and nobody in your office has to untangle a combined invoice at the end of the month.

Hear From Our Customers

  • Laura W.West End, Decatur
    Tree removal
    Two huge maples over our 1920s house. They roped every piece down and the only sign they were here was the fresh sawdust smell. Price was exactly what they wrote.
  • Dennis H.Long Creek
    Storm damage
    Called at 11pm with an oak limb on the garage. Kyle's crew had a tarp on before 1am and came back at 8 to finish. They gave me photos for the insurance claim too.
  • Priya S.Mount Zion
    Stump grinding
    Seven stumps ground through our side gate with that little tracked machine. Lawn barely marked. We seeded the spots that weekend.
  • Tom B.Forsyth
    Tree trimming
    I asked for a removal and Kyle told me the tree was healthy and just needed a good thinning. Saved me about a thousand dollars and the shade.
  • Mark J.North Decatur
    Brush clearing
    They cleared the fence line behind our rentals on Pershing Road, chipped everything and left it cleaner than it's been in years. Easy to work with as a landlord.
  • Sharon K.Maroa

    Dead ash right over the driveway. They used the bucket truck instead of climbing it and explained why. Done by lunch.
