Harvard is a small city in McHenry County, Illinois, at the southeastern edge of Tree Care Enterprises' service area. Surrounded by agricultural land, rural estates, and a growing residential base, Harvard's tree inventory reflects both its rural character and its proximity to northern Illinois' expanding suburban fringe. Tree Care Enterprises has served communities throughout McHenry, Boone, and Winnebago Counties since 1978.
The rolling farmland around Harvard supports large open-grown oaks, ash, and cottonwoods — trees that have developed wide, expansive canopies over decades without the structural competition of forest growth. Open-grown trees often require more proactive pruning and cabling to manage wind loading and prevent branch failure. Emerald ash borer is active throughout McHenry County, and many ash trees in and around Harvard have been significantly affected. Our ISA Certified Arborists — John Richards (IL-0027A), Doug Edwards (IL-0505A), Matt Richards (IL-9831A), Jeremy Montana (IL-4690A), and Pete Montana (IL-4689A) — can assess EAB status and recommend treatment or removal.
