Tree Removal Where the Prairie Ends at Bluffs, IL

About 620 people live here, twenty-seven road miles and thirty-three minutes west of Jacksonville in the county bounded by the Illinois River. From 1969 to 1971 it had the 1,610-foot WJJY TV mast, then Illinois' tallest structure.

This is where the prairie ends. East of town it's flat corn and soybean loam; to the west the bluffs begin. White oak, red oak and hickory hold the slopes, cottonwood and sycamore fill the bottoms, and the village lots carry silver maple, hackberry and dead ash.

Why a Jacksonville Crew Comes to Bluffs

What Bluffs Can Expect

Thirty-Three Minutes West

Bluffs is the western end of our Scott County run and we make it without a trip charge. Brooke pairs Bluffs with Winchester and Meredosia work so you aren't waiting on a special trip.

Bluff-Slope Oaks

Oaks and hickories on the slopes lean downhill toward houses built below them. A leaner over a roof comes down in pieces on ropes, never felled whole down the slope.

Bottomland Cottonwoods

Cottonwoods and sycamores below the bluffs stand in soft ground that floods. We cut them from the dry side, and the chip truck stays on the road or your drive.

Scott County Paperwork

Bluffs follows its own village code and Scott County's, and we didn't find a permit rule for a home-lot tree. For anything over a village street, check with the village office first.

What Folks in Bluffs Want to Know

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

Not for a tree wholly on your own lot; Jacksonville's tree ordinance and trimmer license end at the city line. Bluffs 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.
