“Had a dead oak tree right next to our house that was starting to lean. Springfield Tree Service took it down safely in one afternoon, the crew was super careful not to damage the brick, and honestly I was impressed how they got such a massive tree down without a scratch on the property. They cleaned up every last branch.”
Tree Removal
“Our hedges were totally overgrown and looked awful along the front of the house. These guys shaped them up beautifully and made our whole yard look put-together again. The work was done in less than a day and the cleanup was spotless.”
Hedge Trimming & Shrub Care
“We needed to clear some overgrown brush and dead trees from the back corner of our property out in the country. They handled it professionally and left the area looking clean and ready to use. Would definitely call them again.”
Land Clearing
“Called Springfield Tree Service to get advice on whether we should keep or remove a couple of trees near our driveway. The arborist came out, explained everything clearly, and gave us honest recommendations. Didn't feel pressured to do unnecessary work, just solid professional advice.”
Arborist Consultation
“Took out two old trees and ground out the stumps, the whole job was done in one day. They even hauled away all the debris so there was nothing left behind. My backyard feels twice as big now.”
Tree Removal & Stump Grinding
“Our big maple was getting out of hand and blocking light from the windows. The crew trimmed it back really well, kept the shape natural-looking but let the sun back in. Three guys, two hours, done right.”
Tree Trimming & Pruning
“A storm knocked down a tree across our driveway and we couldn't get out. Called Springfield Tree Service and they came out same day. Had everything cleared and removed before evening. Lifesaver.”
Emergency Tree Service
“Our fruit trees needed some work to keep producing well. The crew knew exactly what they were doing, pruned them properly without overdoing it. Already seeing better growth this year.”

Tree removal and emergency tree service represent the most critical work we do in Springfield. Spring and summer thunderstorms, straight-line derecho winds, and occasional winter ice storms regularly bring large limbs and entire trees down onto roofs, vehicles, power lines, and neighboring properties. A massive silver maple limb hanging over your house, a fallen tree blocking your driveway, or a hazardous widow-maker threatening your family demands immediate professional attention. Springfield Tree Service responds 24/7 to emergency tree removal calls across the city and surrounding areas. Call (217) 441-2908 anytime you face a dangerous tree situation.
Storm damage and fallen trees are complex and dangerous to handle alone. A large tree removal often involves heavy equipment, careful rigging to protect nearby structures, and precise sectioning to bring down wood safely. Our Emergency Tree Service team is trained to assess hazardous limbs, remove fallen trees from structures and vehicles, clear debris from power lines and rooflines, and stabilize unstable trees before they fail. We understand that every hour counts when a tree threatens your home or safety.
Beyond storm response, we also handle planned Tree Removal for dead or diseased trees, including the thousands of green ash trees killed by emerald ash borer across Sangamon County, as well as oak wilt, Dutch elm disease, and bur oak blight. Whether your tree is a hazard or simply no longer wanted, we remove it completely and safely, leaving your property clear and ready for what comes next.
The cost of tree removal or any tree service in Springfield depends on several factors unique to your situation: the size and species of the tree, how easy it is to access with equipment, how close the tree stands to your house or other structures, whether the work requires special rigging or crane work, and what happens to the debris afterward. A small ash tree in an open yard costs far less than a 70-foot silver maple overhanging your roof and power lines. For a clear picture of what your specific job will cost, visit our pricing page or request a free estimate from our team.
Beyond emergency removal, Springfield Tree Service also specializes in Stump Grinding to eliminate the root systems and stumps left behind after removal, and professional Tree Trimming and Pruning to maintain the health and shape of your landscape trees. We also offer Hedge Trimming and Shrub Care for the foundation plantings and property lines that frame your home, Land Clearing for new construction or property development, and Arborist Consultation when you need expert advice on tree health, preservation, or removal decisions.
Many cities and municipalities in the Springfield area, including Springfield itself, require permits for the removal of trees above a certain size or diameter. Some neighborhoods have protected heritage tree ordinances that apply to mature oaks, and many homeowners associations require approval before visible tree removal. Property line rules also matter: if a neighbor's tree has limbs hanging over your roof or driveway, you may have options for removal or trimming. Because permit rules and local ordinances vary, we recommend checking with your local building department or homeowners association before starting any removal project.
Springfield Tree Service can advise you on the permit process and help you understand what may apply to your specific situation. When you call for a free estimate, we'll discuss any permits your job might need, so there are no surprises down the road.
