About Western Springs
Western Springs is one of the most picturesque villages on the western corridor, with tree-lined streets, parkways, and carefully kept homes gathered around its beloved landmark, the 1892 Water Tower. Built of Naperville limestone and red brick on the triangle now called Tower Green, the tower houses the Western Springs Historical Society's museum.
Spring Rock Park, created in 1931, was the park district's first, and Bemis Woods lies just to the north, a Cook County forest preserve along Salt Creek with shaded oak trails and a paved path that follows the creek east toward Brookfield.
Mature trees give the village its beauty and a generous autumn leaf crop, so tree care and lawn care often belong in the same conversation. We are proud to work on streets that present themselves so well, and to help them stay that way.

How We Care For Homes In Western Springs
Questions From Western Springs
The parkway is part of the look of the street. Do you maintain it?
Yes. The parkway receives the same cut and edge as the front lawn, and clippings are blown off the sidewalk before we leave.
A limb over the roof is worrying us. Is that a tree job?
Yes. Tree work is part of what we do, from pruning to removal when a limb is a genuine concern. If any part of the job calls for specialized equipment, we'll tell you and help arrange the next step.
How do you keep the work consistent from week to week?
The same route and the same property notes. Gate codes, irrigation heads, and bed lines stay on file, so every visit picks up where the last one left off.
