Emerald Ash Borer Tree Removal: What to do in Woodridge

The tree and landscape service tasked with removing Woodridge parkway trees infected with the emerald ash borer has also given a price to the village for residents who need trees removed on private property.  

D. Ryan Tree and Landscape Service's price is $25 per inch of diameter measured at breast height and $125 for the removal of the stump, if desired.

According to a village news release, residents are encouraged to shop prices and use other providers as long as the provider is registered and has a Tree Removal License with the Village of Woodridge.  

The contractor can be reached by calling 630-524-1316.

In May, the village was awarded a reforestation grant related to emerald ash borer for $19,400 for the purchase of replacement trees. The grant work will run through the fall of 2013.
