Serving Neoga, Illinois
Neoga is the US-45 railroad town at I-57 exit 177, south of Lake Mattoon, about twenty-four miles from Charleston.
Local & Insured
Neoga, Illinois is a city of about 1,398 people in northwestern Cumberland County, where US-45 runs through town as Oak Avenue and I-57 passes at exit 177, about twenty-four miles and under forty minutes from our shop. Laid out in 1856, it grew up with the railroad, and the name is said to come from a Kickapoo word for deer.
Mattoon is thirteen miles north, and between the towns Lake Mattoon, the city's 1,050-acre Little Wabash reservoir, spreads across the Coles, Cumberland and Shelby corner. Lake lots are much of our Neoga work: cottonwood, sycamore and silver maple grow fast on soft shoreline, and the borer left dead ash on most. In town it's maples and hackberries over older houses and lines.

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 →

Why a Charleston Crew Comes to Neoga
Neoga is a quick interstate run south past Mattoon. We pair jobs here with Lake Mattoon and Toledo work, and the estimate and price match Charleston's.
Shoreline trees on soft ground lean toward the water and hollow early. A climber rigs them down and we carry the wood up the bank instead of driving onto it.
Service drops follow US-45 through Neoga, and the street maples have grown into them. That's exactly the job Dale's nine line-clearance seasons trained him for.
Neoga keeps its own city code. A tree on your own lot needs no permit, but if one touches a city street or parkway, check with City Hall first, and we'll help with the call.
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 Neoga tree reaches a public street or walk, a quick call to the local office comes first. See our permits page.
If a shoreline cottonwood or a street maple in Neoga needs to come down, 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.
