Tree Removal Up on the Divide in Manchester, IL

About 265 people live here, eighteen road miles and twenty-three minutes south of Jacksonville. It's part of the Jacksonville micropolitan area, and up on the divide the wind reaches it from every side.

The trees show it. Village silver maples have lost leaders to storms and regrown weak, redcedar windbreaks lean with the prevailing wind, and only the old farmstead bur oaks seem not to care. The deep prairie loam grows trees fast, and US-67 makes it a quick drive per mile.

Why a Jacksonville Crew Comes to Manchester

What Manchester Can Expect

Twenty-Three Minutes Down US-67

Manchester is a straight four-lane run south and we pass through on the way to Roodhouse and White Hall. Estimates are grouped and the written price is the same as in Jacksonville.

Wind on the Divide

Trees up here take the full force of a derecho. We look for cracked unions and regrowth limbs on the silver maples before storm season and take the weak ones first.

Leaning Cedar Rows

Redcedar windbreaks that have leaned for decades finally tip in an ice storm. We take the leaners aimed at the house or the machine shed and leave the rest of the row to do its job.

Scott County Paperwork

Manchester and Scott County have their own codes, and we found no tree permit for a tree on your own lot. For a tree over a village street, a quick word with the village office comes first.

What Folks in Manchester Want to Know

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

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