Tree Removal in Burgoo Country, Arenzville, IL

About 370 people live here, seventeen road miles and thirty-three minutes out by county road. Arenz was Prussian-born and came to America in 1827, and the Burgoo is cooked in kettles every fall.

German settlers planted their farmsteads a certain way: walnut and sugar maple groves behind the house, silver maple or ash rows on the north side, and a yard shade tree now past a century old. Toward the river bottoms it's cottonwood, sycamore and hackberry on softer ground.

Why a Jacksonville Crew Comes to Arenzville

What Arenzville Can Expect

Thirty-Three Minutes by County Road

Arenzville is the slowest drive on our northwest run, and we make it without a trip charge. Brooke groups it with Virginia and Concord work so the estimate date stays quick.

Century-Old Farmstead Groves

Walnuts and sugar maples planted by the first German families are the biggest trees in the township. We take dead wood and hazard limbs first and say plainly when an old tree is still sound.

Bottomland Cottonwoods

Toward the river the ground is soft and the cottonwoods are tall. We rig them down in sections from the dry side and keep the chip truck on the lane, not the field.

Burgoo Weekend Timing

The village fills up for the Burgoo every September. We keep street-side removals off that weekend and schedule work near the square for quiet weekday mornings.

What Folks in Arenzville Want to Know

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Arenzville?

Not for a tree wholly on your own lot; Jacksonville's tree ordinance and trimmer license end at the city line. Arenzville has its own village code, and we found no permit there for a home-lot tree; ask the village office before cutting one over a village street. Burn rules and the rest are on our permits page.
