A mature tree rarely dies overnight. Severe decline is usually the result of long-term environmental stress that goes unnoticed. As your dedicated tree care service experts, we conduct thorough, scientific hazard and health assessments. If your canopy is thinning, we immediately look below the surface. Soil compaction from heavy foot traffic, lawnmowers, or nearby construction violently suffocates the delicate root system. We utilize specialized pneumatic air-spades to safely blast away and excavate the hard dirt around the roots, alleviating the compaction and incorporating rich organic compost to instantly rejuvenate the tree’s root zone without damaging the microscopic feeder roots.
Planting a tree improperly dooms it to a slow, agonizing death. The absolute most common mistake made by amateur landscaping companies is planting the root ball far too deep, which buries the "root flare" (the widened, flared base of the trunk) under piles of wet soil and heavy mulch. This suffocates the bark and encourages "girdling roots" that eventually wrap around and strangle the tree to death. Our arborists ensure the planting hole is excavated to the perfect mathematical depth and width. We amend the backfill soil with beneficial mycorrhizal fungi to aggressively stimulate rapid root growth, giving your new sapling the perfect biological foundation to thrive for decades.
The local ecosystem in Vernon Hills, IL contains highly aggressive wood-boring insects and airborne fungal pathogens that can completely decimate a mature, beautiful tree in a single season. We don't guess; we identify the specific biological vectors attacking your trees—from emerald ash borers and spider mites to Dutch elm disease and powdery mildew. We implement highly targeted, systemic treatments (often via safe, direct trunk injections) that deliver the exact necessary fungicides or insecticides directly into the tree's vascular sap stream, neutralizing the threat while keeping your lawn, your kids, and your pets completely safe.
Protect your existing, valuable canopy and establish stunning new growth with the guidance of certified botanical experts. Healthy, majestic trees add immense financial value to your property.

"Our beautiful maple was looking very sick and turning yellow in July. Their arborist diagnosed a severe soil compaction issue, performed an air-spade treatment to let the roots breathe, and the tree bounced back incredibly well by the next spring."
"We hired them for a massive tree planting service to create a natural privacy screen along our property line. They helped us choose the perfect evergreens, planted them meticulously so the root flares were visible, and set up a watering schedule. They look fantastic."
"Highly knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. They identified a boring beetle infestation in our pines and treated them with direct trunk injections. It completely saved the trees from dying. Excellent arborist tree service."
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.
