Tree & Plant Healthcare Specialists in Western Chicagoland
Family-owned and ISA-certified since 2005. We bring the highest level of tree care expertise to Schaumburg, Roselle, Barrington, and communities throughout Western Chicagoland.
Tree Maintenance
Expert Care for Your Trees
From precision pruning to structural support, our certified arborists provide the full spectrum of tree maintenance services — done right, every time.
Tree Pruning
Proper pruning improves tree structure, removes hazardous limbs, and encourages healthy growth. Our ISA-certified arborists follow ANSI A300 standards on every job.
Tree Removal
When a tree must come down, safety and efficiency are paramount. We handle everything from small ornamentals to large mature trees, including stump grinding.
Cabling & Bracing
Structural support systems extend the life of trees with co-dominant stems, included bark, or heavy limbs that pose a risk of failure — preserving trees that would otherwise need removal.
Root Collar Excavation
Many declining trees are suffering from buried root collars and girdling roots. Air excavation exposes and corrects these hidden problems, often reversing years of decline.
Plant Health Care
Protecting Your Trees from the Inside Out
Insects, disease, and nutrient deficiencies are silent threats. Early detection and targeted treatment keep your trees thriving for generations.
Insect Control
From Emerald Ash Borer to scale insects, we diagnose and treat tree pests using integrated pest management strategies tailored to the specific insect and tree species.
Disease Management
Oak wilt, Dutch elm disease, apple scab — we identify and manage tree diseases with targeted treatments that slow progression and protect surrounding trees.
Fertilization
Urban trees rarely get the nutrients they need from compacted soils. Our deep-root fertilization programs restore soil biology and give trees the foundation for long-term health.
Consulting

What Clients Say
Trusted by Homeowners Across Chicagoland
Our reputation is built on decades of genuine expertise and results you can see in your trees.
“I have three Ash trees that Emerald Tree Care began treating about the time the Emerald Ash borer began infesting trees in the Windings subdivision in Campton Township. Since then, all the Ash trees in my neighborhood have died except mine. My Ash trees are beautiful, healthy and leaf out fully every year. I love trees and am so happy I have been able to save them. Much thanks to Emerald Tree Care.”
“Had my large honey locust trimmed/thinned by them for a second time. Crew was on time, knowledgeable and now the tree is good for another 4-5 years. Price was fair but not “cheap.” Anyone can hack off limbs, this company knows their stuff. Highly recommended.”
“They have done an amazing job keeping my ash trees alive and looking great! When I called them 4 years ago, one of my trees was showing some sign of infestation. It is still trying very hard to come back. Their crew came out and cleaned it up, cutting out some dead limbs and shaping it. They were amazing, very prompt, and professional.”
“Spoke with Wayne about the services Emerald Tree Care provides and I was blown away by the amount of knowledge these guys have. Very personable and I felt very comfortable knowing these guys are a great option. Felt like I had known Wayne for a very long time even though I had only met him that day! Highly recommend giving them a call!”
“Called this company for a second opinion on a large tree in our yard. Both Wayne and his employee were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and thoroughly answered all of my questions. When we decide to do the work, this is the company we will call. Highly recommended!”
“Always pleased with their service – EAB prevention, scale control, bag worms – had it all. Wayne is the “go-to” guy for tree care. Our trees are all healthy and beautiful. Thanks Wayne!”
