Serving Westfield, Illinois
Westfield is the Clark County village east of Charleston where a college once stood, about thirteen miles from our shop.
Local & Insured
Westfield is a village of about 536 people in western Clark County, Illinois, just over the Coles line and around thirteen miles and twenty-five minutes east of our shop. Laid out in 1839, with a post office in 1840 and incorporation in 1875, it's best known for Westfield College: a United Brethren seminary from 1861, chartered as a college in 1865, closed in 1914, and burned in 1917.
The North Fork of the Embarras and Hurricane Creek drain this corner of Clark County, so flat prairie breaks into timbered draws of white oak, red oak, shagbark hickory and black walnut, with sycamore on the creek bottoms. Village lots hold sugar and silver maples from the college years, and dead ash lines fencerows all the way to Casey.


Removal, stump grinding, trimming and land clearing on one written estimate, across the Clark County line.

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 Westfield
Westfield is across the county line but on our route east, and it's priced like Charleston. Estimates ride along with Ashmore and Kansas trips, so waits stay short.
Street maples planted while the college was open are past their prime now, decaying at old pruning wounds. We rig them down in pieces, keeping limbs off roofs and walks.
Where the prairie drops toward Hurricane Creek and the North Fork, oaks and hickories lean from the draws over yards and lanes. A leaner on a slope takes rope and rigging, and we bring both.
We found no Clark County or village permit for a tree on private land. If yours touches a village street, ring the village office first, and we'll help.
Not for a tree on your own lot; we found no Clark 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 Westfield 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 Westfield lot or farm needs a second look, 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.
