Humboldt, IL: Tree Work North of Mattoon

Humboldt is a village of about 361 people in northern Coles County, Illinois, north of Mattoon and around fifteen road miles and half an hour from our shop. Named for the German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt and incorporated in 1878, it covers barely a third of a square mile, which is why the sign calls it a small town with a big heart.

Around it lies Grand Prairie farm ground on deep, poorly drained silt loam: silver maple and redcedar windbreaks on the north and west of each farmstead, a few big bur oaks from the first groves, cottonwood on the drainage ditches, and dead ash wherever ash went in. Humboldt kids go to school in Mattoon, and Humboldt jobs ride our Mattoon truck.

Why a Charleston Crew Comes to Humboldt

Why We're a Good Fit for Humboldt

Grouped With Mattoon and Arcola

Humboldt is on the run between Mattoon jobs and the Douglas County line. Megan pairs estimates with those trips, so you rarely wait, and you pay Charleston's price.

Windbreak Rows That Have Aged Out

Many local windbreaks went in the same season sixty years ago and are failing together. We thin the dead, take leaners off the house or bins, and grind stumps so the row can be replanted.

Wet Prairie, Shallow Roots

Soggy silt loam keeps roots shallow, and a saturated spring plus a west wind is how a sixty-foot silver maple lands on a machine shed. We check root-plate lift and lean ahead of storm season.

Small Village, Big Equipment

Humboldt lots are tight and the lanes narrow. We plan where truck and trailer sit, protect the neighbor's drive, and leave the street the way we found it.

Questions We Hear in Humboldt

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

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 Humboldt tree reaches a public street or walk, a quick call to the local office comes first. See our permits page.
