Serving Murrayville, Illinois
Murrayville is the old US-67 town south of Jacksonville, bigger in 1860 than it is today, with the shade trees to prove it.
Local & Insured
The village of about 570 is eleven road miles and nineteen minutes away on old US-67, the highway's route before the 2005 bypass. It had 1,160 people in 1860, twice today's count, and it's the birthplace of former Illinois state treasurer Warren Wright.
A town that shrank keeps its old trees. Silver maples, shagbark hickories and walnuts planted for long-gone houses now stand over newer roofs, garages and drops, mostly unpruned for decades, and the open farm country to the west sends every summer storm right at them.

Why a Jacksonville Crew Comes to Murrayville
Murrayville is on our regular run down US-67 toward Manchester and Roodhouse, so estimates are grouped and dates come quickly. Storm calls get a same-day or next-day answer.
Silver maples and hickories that outlived the houses they were planted for carry dead wood and heavy limbs. The risky wood comes out first, then you get our honest take on whether the tree's worth keeping.
Black walnut drops nuts, stains concrete and grows long, heavy limbs. We lighten the side over the roof or take the tree, and the wood goes to a sawyer instead of the chipper when it's worth it.
Murrayville lots sit close together. We lower every piece on a rope, guard the fence and the neighbor's garden, and rake the yard on our way out.
Not for a tree wholly on your own lot; Jacksonville's tree ordinance and trimmer license end at the city line. Murrayville 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 silver maple over your Murrayville roof is splitting or a walnut has outgrown the lot, call or ask for a free written estimate.
