Windsor, IL: Tree Work at IL-16's Shelby County End

Windsor, Illinois is a Shelby County city of about 1,079 people where IL-32 turns north off IL-16 at Hickory Street, about twenty-four miles and forty minutes west of our shop straight out IL-16 through Mattoon. It's the western edge of our route and our only Shelby County town.

Just past town, Wolf Creek State Park sits on the east shore of Lake Shelbyville, the 11,100-acre Kaskaskia River reservoir that began filling in 1970. Town lots carry silver and sugar maple, hackberry and red oak, but toward the lake the ground turns to white oak, red oak, shagbark hickory and black walnut timber, with cottonwood and sycamore in wet draws and plenty of standing dead ash.

Why a Charleston Crew Comes to Windsor

Why We're a Good Fit for Windsor

Forty Minutes West on IL-16

Windsor is a straight run west through Mattoon, with no trip charge. Megan pairs Windsor estimates with Mattoon and Neoga work to keep the schedule moving.

Lake-Country Timber

Near Wolf Creek and the lake, flat prairie gives way to oak and hickory on slopes. A leaner above a house on a hillside comes down in roped sections, never felled whole toward the building.

Town Maples and Hackberries

Maples and hackberries on Windsor's older blocks reach roofs and lines. We rig them down from the top and keep every piece off the house and the wires.

Shelby County, Same Estimate

We found no Shelby County permit for private-land removals. On your own lot the estimate is the only paperwork; for a tree touching a city street, call City Hall first.

Questions We Hear in Windsor

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

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