Tree Removal in Waverly, IL, Morgan County's Second City

About 1,200 people live twenty road miles and thirty-two minutes from Jacksonville. Founded in 1836 and named for Scott's Waverley novels, it's hosted the Holiday Tournament since 1951.

Nearly all of town drains south to Apple Creek tributaries. Elm Street's elms are long gone, replaced by silver maple and ash, so brittle maples and dead ash now share the streets. The older blocks keep bur oaks and hackberries that predate them.

Why a Jacksonville Crew Comes to Waverly

What Waverly Can Expect

Thirty-Two Minutes Out IL-104

Waverly is the far end of our IL-104 run through Franklin, and we make it without a trip charge. Brooke groups Waverly with Franklin work so estimates come quickly.

Elm Street Without Elms

The silver maples and ash that replaced the elms are failing together. We take the dead ash from the bucket, lighten the maples over the roof and tell you which trees are worth keeping.

Tournament-Week Timing

The city fills up for the Holiday Tournament in late December. We keep street-side work near the school off tournament days and schedule it for quiet mornings.

Apple Creek Draws

Walnut, sycamore and cottonwood grow in the soft draws south of town. We keep the heavy trucks on firm footing and bring the wood out to them.

What Folks in Waverly Want to Know

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

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