What we do

Tree work for Rockford homes, start to finish.

One call covers the whole job: the cutting, the stump and the clean-up. Here is what our crew takes on.

  1. 01

    Tree removal

    Big pines in a backyard, awkward trees squeezed between two houses, trees standing over a shed, a fence or the power lines. We take them down carefully so whatever is around them stays the way it was.

  2. 02

    Tree trimming

    Cutting back and tidying the trees you want to keep.

  3. 03

    Stump grinding

    Getting rid of the stump that is left after a removal, so the ground can go back to lawn or garden.

  4. 04

    Mulching and clean-up

    Branches mulched, wood cut up, the yard raked clean. Our customers tell us we leave it tidier than we found it.

The jobs other crews pass on

Close to the house?That is most of our work.

Most of the trees we take down in Rockford are not standing in an open field. They are a few feet from a deck, a fence, a garage or the power lines. That is the work we are known for: careful, safe and quick, with nothing damaged.

  • 5

    Feet from the fence, deck and lines

    Three large pines with a fence, deck, patio and power lines all within five feet. All three down, mulched and cleaned up in under three hours.

  • 2

    Houses, with a tree squeezed between

    Very little wiggle room on either side, and no damage to either property.

    The owner was worried about it. It came through without a mark.

How it goes

From the first call to a clean yard.

Customers keep telling us the same three things: we answer quickly, we work safely and we leave the place clean. That is the job, every time.

1

You call, we pick up

Ring (815) 979-6737 on a weekday between 8 AM and 3 PM, or send a message below. Tell us about the tree, where it stands and what is close to it.

2

The crew takes it down safely

Safety comes first. We work carefully around the house, the fence, the shed and the lines, so nothing gets damaged.

3

We mulch and clean up

Brush mulched, wood cut up, yard raked. You get your yard back the way it should look.

We Absolutely 100% recommend Morning Wood for tree removal. We had 3 large pine trees in our backyard. Fence, deck, patio and power lines all around and within 5 feet of the trees. The crew from Morning Wood came in and had all 3 trees down, mulched and cleaned up in less than 3 hours. Very professional and easy to work with and all done at a great price! Do yourself a favor and make them your first call.

Morning Wood Tree Service was hand's down a great experience! They have handled 3 tree's for me and did a wonderful job on all of them, not easy tree's either one was between 2 house's with very little wiggle room, and the other 2 were on the other side of my house but still not easy to do because of how close they also were to my house. They came in, got the job's done in a timely manner, and left with no damage to the property plus no mess afterwards 😁 Very happy with these guys!
