Serving Ashmore, Illinois
Ashmore is the prairie village on IL-16 east of Charleston, about nine miles from our shop toward the Edgar County line.
Local & Insured
Ashmore is a village of about 637 people on IL-16 in eastern Coles County, Illinois, around nine miles and fifteen minutes east of our shop. It's named for Hezekiah Ashmore and incorporated in 1867. The township runs from the Embarras River to the Edgar County line, flat prairie drained by the Pole Cat on its way west to the river.
Landmarks include the old Coles County Poor Farm almshouse, now Ashmore Estates, and the 62-foot Lincoln statue that went up in Charleston in 1969 and was later moved here. The trees are the Grand Prairie mix: silver and sugar maple over village lots, redcedar fencerows, cottonwood and sycamore in the draws, and dead ash on most farmsteads. Ashmore sits in Charleston's school district.


Four services from one Coles County crew, delivered to the east side of the county.

Dead ash, storm-broken maples and leaning trees removed in sections and hauled away the same day. Details and pricing →

Stumps ground out below the grass line so you can mow, plant or reseed right over the spot. Details and pricing →

Dead limbs, hazard branches and clearance off the roof and the street, done so the tree stays healthy. We don't top trees. Details and pricing →

Brush-choked back lots, fencerows and building sites cleared and cleaned up before anything else goes in. Details and pricing →
Why a Charleston Crew Comes to Ashmore
Ashmore is on our straight run out IL-16 toward Kansas and Westfield, so Megan can usually slot your estimate into a day we're already headed east.
Nothing between Ashmore and the western horizon slows a straight-line wind. Village maples and farm groves take it full on, so we check cracked unions and root heave before storm season.
Fencerows east of the Embarras have filled with redcedar and standing dead ash. We clear the line, chip the brush and grind the stumps so it can be fenced or farmed again.
Village lots face IL-16 and its service drops. Anything that could reach the pavement or a wire comes down in pieces from the bucket, with cones out and the utility called when needed.
Not for a tree on your own lot; we found no Coles County permit for private land. The rules that bite are about the street: limbs over it need clearance, and a dead tree threatening the road can be ruled a nuisance. If your Ashmore tree reaches a public street or walk, a quick call to the local office comes first. See our permits page.
If a tree on your Ashmore lot or farmstead has you worried, call us or send the form. We'll look in person and put a free price on paper.
Type your town or ZIP and we'll tell you whether the Charleston crew makes the drive.
