Tree Removal at the Old Junction in Roodhouse, IL

The city of about 1,580 is twenty-three road miles and twenty-eight minutes south of Jacksonville, with US-67 straight through the middle. It started out as The Crossroads.

The Chicago and Alton opened a station in 1860 and ran its Louisiana branch from here in 1871, making it a major junction; it became a city in 1880. Passenger trains quit in the 1950s, leaving railroad-era silver maples and hackberries, alley walnuts, big bur oaks and dead ash on every block.

Why a Jacksonville Crew Comes to Roodhouse

What Roodhouse Can Expect

Twenty-Eight Minutes Down US-67

Roodhouse is a straight four-lane run through Manchester, and we make it without a trip charge. Brooke groups Roodhouse with White Hall work so estimates come quickly.

Junction-Town Lots

Railroad-era streets have maples and hackberries grown up around the drops. We get the utility involved first, then lower each limb on a rope clear of wires and shingles.

Dead Ash by the Block

Borer-killed ash is brittle and risky to climb. We work it from the bucket truck before it weakens further, and every branch goes through the chipper.

Bur Oaks on the Oldest Lots

Big bur oaks hold the oldest lots in town. We check them for deadwood and hazard limbs and tell you plainly whether one needs more than a trim.

What Folks in Roodhouse Want to Know

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

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