Serving Chapin, Illinois
Chapin is the US-67 and IL-104 village west of Jacksonville, where Lick Branch rises inside the village limits and runs off toward Indian Creek.
Local & Insured
The village of about 475 is eleven road miles and eighteen minutes out. It's named for founders Charles and Horace Chapin and sits on a low divide at about 623 feet.
Lick Branch rises in the village and heads northeast to Indian Creek, while Coon Run and Mauvaise Terre tributaries drain west to the Illinois River. So Chapin gets two kinds of work: century-old sugar maples and white oaks over village houses and drops, and sycamore and cottonwood leaning over the branches.

Why a Jacksonville Crew Comes to Chapin
Chapin is a straight run west on the four-lane and we pass through on the way to Meredosia and Concord. Brooke can usually book an estimate within a few days.
Century-old sugar maples and white oaks over the older houses have a roof, a fence and a line on every side. Each comes apart limb by limb on a rope, since there's no room to drop one whole.
Sycamores and cottonwoods along Lick Branch and Coon Run root in wet ground and lean. We work them from the dry bank, and the truck stays on solid footing instead of soft lawn.
Lots along US-67 and IL-104 have trees within reach of fast traffic. We stage off the pavement, set cones and call the utility before anything near a line comes down.
Not for a tree wholly on your own lot; Jacksonville's tree ordinance and trimmer license end at the city line. Chapin 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.
If a sugar maple over your Chapin house needs to come down or a sycamore on the branch has started to lean, call or ask for a free written estimate.
