Greenup, IL: Tree Work on the Old National Road

Greenup, Illinois is a Cumberland County village of about 1,365 people where IL-130 from Charleston meets US-40 and I-70 at exit 119, around nineteen miles and half an hour south of our shop. National Road surveyor William C. Greenup platted it in 1834, and it was the county's first seat from 1843 to 1855. It calls itself the Village of the Porches.

The Embarras flows past the northwest corner, crossed on the old Cumberland Road by the 192-foot Jackson covered bridge. At about 594 feet it's the lowest ground we work: cottonwood, sycamore and silver maple grow fast on wet silt, hollow early and lean as the bank cuts under them. Village lots hold sugar maple, hackberry and borer-killed ash.

Why a Charleston Crew Comes to Greenup

Why We're a Good Fit for Greenup

Half an Hour Down IL-130

Greenup is a straight run south on IL-130, with no trip charge. Megan pairs Greenup estimates with Toledo and Casey work so the calendar moves quickly.

Embarras Bottom Ground

Riverside lots stay soft for weeks after high water, and shallow-rooted cottonwoods and sycamores tip in the next wind. After a flood we check root plates and rig down any that won't survive another.

Porch-Town Streets, Tight Drop Zones

Big maples on Greenup's older streets sit a few feet from porches, walks and parked cars. We cut from the top down, shield the porch roof, and keep the truck out of traffic.

Highway Frontage and Lines

US-40 and IL-130 pass front yards, and the service drops follow them. Anything near the road or a wire comes down in pieces from the bucket, cones out and the utility called first.

Questions We Hear in Greenup

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Greenup?

Not for a tree on your own lot; we found no Cumberland 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 Greenup tree reaches a public street or walk, a quick call to the local office comes first. See our permits page.
