Serving Winchester, Illinois
Winchester is the Scott County seat on IL-106, where a twenty-year-old Stephen Douglas taught school in 1833 and a statue of him stands on the square.
Local & Insured
The city of about 1,570 is twenty road miles and twenty-seven minutes southwest of Jacksonville.
At 545 feet it sits lower than Jacksonville, where the prairie starts breaking toward the Illinois River. Sugar maple, bur oak and hackberry shade the brick houses by the courthouse, white oak, red oak and hickory hold the slopes, and sycamore and walnut fill the draws. Dead ash stands on most blocks.

Why a Jacksonville Crew Comes to Winchester
Winchester is a straight run on IL-106 and we're there most weeks for Scott County work. Brooke books an estimate within a few days and the written price is the same as in Jacksonville.
The maples and oaks around the square have buildings, lines and traffic on every side. We piece them down from the top and keep every drop off the roofs and the sidewalk.
Where the ground breaks toward the river, a leaner above a house on a slope comes down in pieces on ropes, never felled whole toward the structure or the neighbor.
Winchester lots sit close together, so most removals here are rigging jobs, planned piece by piece before anyone climbs.
Not for a tree wholly on your own lot; Jacksonville's tree ordinance and trimmer license end at the city line. Winchester 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.
If an oak on your Winchester slope is leaning toward the house or a dead ash by the street needs to come down, call or ask for a free written estimate.
Type your town or ZIP and we'll tell you if the truck comes your way.
