Janda Tree Services at a Glance
Janda Tree Services was founded on a straightforward idea: property owners in Altamont, IL deserve tree care that is performed by people who genuinely understand trees, not general laborers with a chainsaw and a pickup truck. For over two decades, that philosophy has defined everything we do.
Every arborist on our team holds ISA certification, which requires passing rigorous written exams, demonstrating practical field competency, and completing ongoing continuing education credits. Certification does not just verify knowledge. It reflects a professional commitment to doing tree work correctly, which means protecting tree health, following safety protocols, and treating your property with respect.
We operate our own crew. We do not subcontract work to third parties. When you hire Janda Tree Services, the team that shows up is trained, insured, and employed by us. This accountability matters because it is your property on the line.
Our certified arborists evaluate the health, structure, and risk profile of your trees using field-tested diagnostic techniques. We document all findings and provide honest assessments without recommending unnecessary work.
Based on the evaluation, we develop a tailored work plan that outlines the optimal approach for your specific trees, site constraints, and property goals. Every plan considers both immediate needs and long-term tree health.
Our trained crews perform all work using appropriate equipment and rigging systems. Safety is not an afterthought. We conduct pre-job briefings, establish work zones, and follow established protocols to protect every person and structure involved.
All debris, branches, wood chips, and waste are removed and disposed of responsibly. We perform a final walkthrough with you to confirm the work meets your expectations before we close out the project.
Every service listed includes site preparation, professional execution, and complete debris removal and disposal.
Systematic crown management to remove deadwood, improve structure, and reduce storm risk. Our arborists follow ISA pruning standards to ensure every cut promotes healthy regrowth rather than creating entry points for disease or structural weakness.
Tree TrimmingStructurally compromised trees require careful planning and controlled removal methods. We assess load-bearing failure risk, determine the safest felling approach, and use crane-assisted removal or sectional dismantling to eliminate danger without property damage.
Hazardous Tree RemovalStructural support systems for multi-stemmed trees, co-dominant unions, and trees with significant included bark. High-strength steel cables and threaded rods are installed to redistribute load and extend the productive life of valuable trees that cannot be removed.
Tree Cabling BracingSoil-injected deep root fertilization delivers nutrients directly to the active root zone, bypassing lawn competition and surface runoff limitations. Our balanced fertilization programs improve canopy density, root development, and resistance to environmental stressors specific to Altamont, IL soils.
Tree FertilizationInvasive surface roots that damage driveways, sidewalks, irrigation systems, and foundations require targeted removal. We selectively remove problematic roots using air excavation and root cutting techniques designed to minimize impact on the tree while eliminating the source of property damage.
Root RemovalProfessional hazard tree assessments and ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) reports for insurance purposes, real estate transactions, permit applications, and proactive property management. Written documentation suitable for submission to municipal authorities and insurance carriers.

The most important credential is ISA Certification, which verifies that an arborist has passed a standardized examination covering tree biology, pruning techniques, risk assessment, and safety protocols. You should also confirm that the company carries general liability insurance and worker's compensation coverage, as uninsured operators expose you to significant financial liability if injuries or property damage occur. Request certificates of insurance before any work begins.
Cabling installs high-strength steel cables between major limbs to limit movement and reduce the risk of structural failure during wind events. Bracing uses threaded steel rods to reinforce split or cracked unions and co-dominant stems that have developed included bark. These systems are appropriate for large, mature trees with high landscape value where removal would significantly impact the property. Our arborists assess whether a tree is a viable cabling candidate before recommending this service.
Most tree failures are not actually sudden. They result from progressive structural deterioration that goes undetected until a wind, rain, or ice event provides the triggering force. Common causes include root damage from construction or soil compaction, fungal decay in the trunk or root crown, significant co-dominant stem formation with included bark, extensive crown deadwood, and previous improper pruning that created rot entry points. Annual or biennial professional inspections are the most effective way to identify and mitigate these risks before failure occurs.
Yes. Removing trees adjacent to structures is one of our most common project types. We use sectional dismantling techniques, where the tree is removed in controlled pieces from the top down using rope systems and rigging hardware to lower sections carefully without impact damage. In cases where overhead space is extremely limited, we coordinate crane-assisted removal. No tree removal project is too complex for our trained team.
Newly planted trees should be allowed to establish for a minimum of one growing season before any significant structural pruning is performed. During establishment, trees are directing energy toward root development, and heavy pruning reduces the photosynthetic capacity the tree needs to build its root system. Minor corrective pruning to remove damaged or crossing branches can be done in year one, but structural training work is best deferred to years two and three after planting.
