Dead, hazardous, or impossible-to-reach trees have finally met their match. We’ve built our crane operations around The Tree Reaper—our state-of-the-art BIK 104 Grapple Saw Crane.
This powerhouse allows us to grab, cut, and lift massive tree sections from over roofs and power lines, lowering them safely to the ground with zero impact to your lawn or landscaping.

Phillip Shults (Founder) — Working Safely in the Field, 1996
Long before Shults Tree Service was founded, our roots in tree care stretch back to earlier generations, including municipal and state contract work in the Chicago area. That foundation shaped the standards we follow today, combining proven techniques with modern methods to deliver expert tree care every time.
