Expert Tree and Shrub Removal in Barrington, IL

Tree and shrub removal on Barrington Hills properties takes planning. Lots here run five acres or more, with mature oaks, maples, ash, and elm spread across rolling terrain. Clay-rich soils can make equipment access tricky, and the Village's Heritage Tree Preservation Ordinance means some species require review before work begins. We assess each tree or shrub before removal, looking at structure, disease signs, and proximity to structures, fencing, and pastures. Dead or diseased ash trees, including those hit by emerald ash borer, are a common removal request across the area. Overgrown shrubs that crowd driveways, paddocks, or outbuildings are another. We remove the material cleanly and leave the site ready for replanting, grading, or open use. If you have a hazardous tree near a barn, riding area, or home, contact Russel Lokun Landscape and Design to schedule a site visit.

FAQ

Tree and Shrub Removal FAQ

Common questions about tree and shrub removal in Barrington, IL.

Can you remove trees on large estate lots in Barrington Hills?

Yes, we work on large Barrington Hills properties, including multi-acre estates with mature trees and limited equipment access. We assess the site first to plan safe removal around structures, fencing, and landscaping.

Do you remove shrubs along with trees, or is that a separate service?

We handle both tree and shrub removal together on Barrington Hills properties. Overgrown or dead shrubs along driveways, fence lines, and building perimeters are removed in the same visit when possible.

My ash tree looks dead. Can Russel Lokun Landscape and Design remove it?

Yes, dead or declining ash trees are one of the most common removal requests we see in Barrington Hills. Emerald ash borer damage is widespread in the area, and removal prevents the tree from becoming a fall hazard.

Will you clean up debris after the tree or shrub is removed?

Yes, debris cleanup is part of the removal process on every Barrington Hills job. We leave the site clear so you can move forward with replanting, grading, or other landscape work.

Can you remove a tree that is close to a barn or paddock fence?

Yes, we regularly remove trees near outbuildings, paddocks, and fencing on Barrington Hills equestrian properties. We plan each removal to protect surrounding structures and ground surfaces.

I met with two other companies before hiring Russel to replace my 80+ year old concrete patio and walkways with pavers. Very straight forward with his approach and helpful with suggestions and options, his pricing was very competitive and fair compared to the other quotes I got and the craftsmanship exceeded my expectations. His crew was top notch with no chaos or bs. Definitely recommend this company and will be calling them for any future projects

I couldn’t be more pleased! Russel looked over the patio area and quickly evaluated what needed to be done. His staff began the task of demolition and within 3 days the task was accomplished. Russel is very knowledgeable and has a respectful staff and so easy to work with. I highly recommend him!

Our courtyard was an overgrown mess when we bought the house. Now it is a lovely area perfect for enjoying the outdoors with worry-free pavers installed by Russ Lokun. Russ assisted us with helpful design and paver brick ideas. His crew showed up on time, cleared away all remnants of the old courtyard and installed a brand new one -- including an heated pathway to melt the snow. (We have not had snow to test the mat's effectiveness yet.) Russ was recommended by our new neighbors and we have no reason to regret our choice. Russ is a pleasant fellow to deal with and his crew is friendly and professional. A small hands-on business that does an exceptional job start to final inspection.

We hired Russ for our backyard patio and landscaping project, and we're thrilled with the results. Their professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. The team kept the worksite clean and organized, minimizing disruptions. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and prompt responses to our questions. Russ and his team transformed our backyard into a beautiful space that we are beyond excited to use. Highly recommend for their exceptional service and quality work!

Russel designed and installed a paver patio for us. We are happy with the end results and overall look of the patio. Russel also planted trees to several spots in the backyard to enhance our landscape. Overall we are happy with the work and will hire Russel for future landscape design projects:
