Tree Removal & Trimming in Champaign-Urbana
Safe removal of dead, damaged and risky trees, careful trimming for health and clearance, and a full cleanup so your property is left tidy and safe.
The right care for the trees on your property
A leaning, dead or storm-damaged tree is a real risk to your home, your family and your neighbors. Overgrown limbs over a roof or driveway are not far behind. M.A.D Landscape Services removes risky trees and trims healthy ones with safety and care from start to finish.
We are locally owned and operated, and we bring honesty, integrity and quality work to every tree job. We take down trees in controlled sections when they sit close to a house, fence or power line, trim and prune for healthy growth and proper clearance, and lift limbs off roofs before they cause damage. When a tree is too far gone, we say so, and we point you toward the safest plan. Not sure whether a tree should come down? Read our guide on the signs a tree should be removed.

Tree removal & trimming FAQ
Do you remove large trees?
Yes. We take down trees of many sizes, from smaller ornamentals to larger shade trees in the yard. During the free quote we look at the tree, its height, lean and what surrounds it, then plan the safest way to bring it down. If a job is beyond what we should handle, we will tell you honestly rather than take a risk with your property.
Is tree removal safe near the house?
It can be when it is done with care, and that is how we work. We take trees down in controlled sections when they sit close to a house, fence, deck or power line so limbs come down where we want them. We assess every tree before we start and protect what is around it. Safety for your home and our crew comes first.
Do you clean up after the work?
Always. Cleanup is part of the job, not an extra. We cut down and haul off the limbs, brush and trunk, rake the area and leave your yard tidy. If you want firewood cut to length and left for you, just say so. Otherwise we take it all away.
When is the best time to trim trees in Illinois?
For most trees in Central Illinois, late winter through early spring while the tree is dormant is ideal for structural trimming and pruning. That said, dead, damaged or hazardous limbs can and should be removed any time of year. We are happy to advise on timing for your specific trees during the free quote.
Do you grind the stump too?
Yes. Tree removal leaves a stump behind, and we offer stump grinding to finish the job. We grind it below grade, clean up the grindings and leave the spot ready for soil and grass. Ask us to include grinding in your quote so the whole tree, including what is below the surface, is taken care of at once.
