The trees in your yard are the biggest investment in your landscape. Let's protect them.
Ensure A Healthy Future for your Trees & Shrubs
A healthy tree takes decades to grow. A struggling one can be lost in a single season. Most homeowners know something’s off — a branch that shouldn’t be there, a leaf color that doesn’t look right, a tree leaning the wrong way after a storm — but they don’t know what to do about it. And the cost of waiting too long, or hiring the wrong crew, can be the tree itself.
You deserve an expert who will actually look at your trees, tell you what they see, and only recommend what your landscape truly needs.
Why Taylor's Way
Four generations. 50+ years in business. The most expertly trained and ISA Certified Arborist team in north central Illinois. Every service we offer — from structural pruning on a young tree to diagnosing a stressed mature oak — is backed by ANSI A300 standards and decades of hands-on experience in these specific soils, seasons, and species.
Our Tree & Shrub Services
Five services. One team. Whatever your trees and shrubs need, our ISA Certified Arborists are ready.
Tree Pruning & Removal
Structural pruning for young trees, crown work for mature trees, and safe removal when it’s time. Cabling and bracing for weak unions. Every cut made to ANSI A300 standards.
Insect & Disease Diagnosis
Accurate identification of pests, diseases, and environmental stress. Whatever your trees and shrubs need, there’s a program built for it — backed by ISA-certified arborists who know exactly what to look for.
Arborist Consultation
One-on-one assessments with an ISA Certified Arborist. Risk evaluations, tree health reports, species recommendations, and long-term care plans tailored to your property.
Tree & Shrub Planting
Most trees struggle in the first two years after planting — our Rooted Right post-plant care program makes sure yours doesn’t.
Landscape Bed Maintenance
Up to 5 strategic visits per season. Pre- and post-emergent weed control, shrub pruning, mulch refresh, and plant health monitoring — a proactive program that keeps your beds sharp all season.
