Return to Selling/Removing Yard Trees

Who to Do I Contact to Sell Yard Trees (IL)

From: Kathleen Devine City: Peoria, IL
Who do you call to see if I have trees worth selling and how much do they usually charge? The trees are in ogle county, if that matters. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings Kathleen: I would suggest contacting a professional consulting forester to determine whether your yard trees are worth selling. If the trees are not "valuable" as potential sawlogs, then you will have to contact a certified arborist for traditional tree removal costs. Arborists and consulting foresters' rates vary; therefore, you will need to contact them directly and explain the services you are requesting.
