Network status in Naperville: no operators are listed here yet. The network is being built, and we don't have job-volume figures for this area to share. We'll be upfront about what we see before you commit to anything.
How the marketplace works for operators
- Homeowners request jobs. They describe the work on TreeService.co by ZIP and service.
- We turn it into a job brief. The request is structured the way an estimator would want it, not just a name and a phone number.
- The brief goes to a matching operator. It's routed to an operator in the network who covers that ZIP and does that service, not blasted to a list of companies.
- You quote and do the work directly. The job, and payment for it, are between you and the customer.
What's in a job brief
- ZIP code and matched town
- Service type and urgency (routine, soon, storm damage, emergency)
- Residential or commercial property
- Number of trees and approximate height
- Species, if the homeowner knows it
- Where the tree is and how equipment gets in
- What's near the work: power lines, structures, fences, pools, slopes
- A short description in the homeowner's words
- Photos, when provided
- Contact details and consent to be contacted

Permits and HOAs your customers will ask about
Parkway trees in Naperville are generally city-managed, so contact the city rather than hiring a private crew. Private trees are the owner's responsibility.
Regional weather and storm season
Chicago has cold winters with lake-effect snow near the shoreline, hot humid summers, and a severe-thunderstorm season. Fast-moving lines of storms, including derechos, can drop large limbs over wide areas. Frozen winter ground can make access easier for heavy equipment without damaging lawns.
Before any digging or stump grinding: underground utilities have to be located first. In Illinois that request goes through JULIE (Illinois one-call), or dial 811. Ask any operator whether they place the locate request before grinding.
