Who We Are

Urban Arborists

We are ISA-trained teams who know Forest City, IAs microclimates, alleys, and HOA preferences. We trim for wind, light, and safety without sacrificing the character of your favorite shade trees.

Safety is baked in: PPE on every climber, cones and signage on sidewalks, and spotters who watch for pedestrians and pets.

GrandTreeService treats tree care as hospitality. We greet neighbors, protect planters, and sweep every walkway before we leave.

Health & Safety

City-Ready Standards

We work to ANSI A300 standards, balancing canopies for storm resilience and structural strength.

Balanced pruning plus healthy roots means fewer emergencies and more beautiful shade.
