Serving Hindsboro, Illinois
Hindsboro is the elevator town on IL-133 where it crosses IL-130, about fifteen miles north of Charleston.
Local & Insured
Hindsboro is a Douglas County village of about 275 people on IL-133 where it crosses IL-130, north of Charleston and around fifteen miles and under half an hour from our shop. The grain elevator is the first thing you see from any direction; the Illinois Midland Railroad opened just north of it in 1874, and the weekly paper still comes out of Oakland.
It sits on the flattest, deepest silt loam we work, cropped to the edge of every yard and wet most of the spring. So the trees were planted: silver maple and redcedar rows on the windward side of farmsteads, a front-yard sugar maple or bur oak, cottonwood by the ditches, and borer-killed ash gray against the elevator.

Why a Charleston Crew Comes to Hindsboro
Hindsboro is a straight shot north on IL-130, grouped with Oakland and Arcola jobs. You get Charleston pricing, and a storm call can usually be seen that day.
A west wind crosses miles of open ground before it hits Hindsboro. Windbreaks fail one tree at a time, and we remove the dead and leaning before one lands on the bins.
Silt loam here stays saturated well into spring. We lay mats under the truck, or rig and carry, so the yard isn't rutted when we go.
IL-133 and IL-130 both pass Hindsboro front yards. Trees over the road come down in pieces from the bucket with cones out, and the utility gets a call before work near a line.
Not for a tree on your own lot; we found no Douglas 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 Hindsboro tree reaches a public street or walk, a quick call to the local office comes first. See our permits page.
If a windbreak tree on your Hindsboro place has started to lean toward the bins, 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.
