Serving Woodson, Illinois
Woodson is the small IL-267 village south of Lake Jacksonville, where Spoon Creek runs along the north edge of town on its way to Sandy Creek.
Local & Insured
About 500 people live eight road miles and twelve minutes down IL-267 from Jacksonville. Platted in 1859 and incorporated in 1894, the village is named for Judge David M. Woodson.
Spoon Creek runs along the north edge toward Sandy Creek and the Illinois River, lined with black walnut, hackberry and big cottonwoods, while redcedar fills the fencerows. In the village, the street silver maples and box elders are old enough to shed limbs in every summer storm.

Why a Jacksonville Crew Comes to Woodson
Woodson is on our IL-267 run past the lake, so we pass through several times a week. Brooke can usually pair a Woodson estimate with lake or Murrayville work and give you a fast date.
Walnut, hackberry and cottonwood along the creek grow in soft ground and lean toward the light. When one tips toward the house, we take it apart on ropes and keep every piece off the creek bank.
Redcedar in the fencerows and ash killed by the emerald ash borer are the two trees farm places around Woodson ask us about most. Dead ash gets brittle fast, so we climb it early or take it from the bucket.
Woodson has a village board but no tree permit we could find for a tree on your own lot. If a tree hangs over a village street, we suggest a quick word with the village office first.
Not for a tree wholly on your own lot; Jacksonville's tree ordinance and trimmer license end at the city line. Woodson 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 cottonwood on your Woodson creek bank or a dead ash by the drive needs to come down, call or ask for a free written estimate.
