Municipal Tree Care
Maintaining and Protecting Community Green Spaces
Municipal trees play a critical role in creating safe, attractive, and resilient communities.
Homer Tree Care partners with cities, villages, park districts, school districts, and public works departments to maintain the public trees that shape our streets, parks, and neighborhoods.
Our municipal division delivers high-volume pruning, hazard removals, plant health care, safety compliance, and storm response, backed by certified expertise, reliable crews, and a fleet built for municipal-scale work.
Our Core Municipal Tree Services
City Contracts
We provide reliable, ongoing municipal tree care contracts for communities across Illinois and Northwest Indiana.
From annual pruning cycles to hazard mitigation programs, our crews deliver consistent, high-quality work that meets your budget, schedule, and reporting needs.
Our municipal team understands bid processes, public-sector requirements, and the importance of clear communication with city staff.
Large-Scale Pruning
Pruning for public spaces requires speed, safety, and coordination.
Our crews use bucket trucks, chippers, and professional climbing techniques to perform large-scale pruning along streets, parkways, and parks.
Proper municipal pruning improves clearance, visibility, and public safety while extending the life and health of city-owned trees.
Safety Compliance
Public tree work demands strict adherence to safety regulations, risk-reduction standards, and protective procedures, especially around sidewalks, utilities, and roadways.
Our crews follow the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) guidelines, traffic-control protocols, and industry best practices to ensure every project protects people, property, and infrastructure.
