Learn About Mid-West Tree Services

For over 35 years, Mid-West Tree Service has been a trusted name in Wauconda, Illinois, and the surrounding northwest suburbs of Chicago. Known for their expert tree removal, lawn care, and commitment to customer service, Mid-West Tree built its reputation one property at a time—helping homeowners remove dead or diseased trees before they caused damage, and creating outdoor spaces where families could relax, play, and grow together. At the heart of it all was owner Eric Agase, who took pride in personally meeting every client to ensure their needs were understood and met with care.

As Eric enters a well-earned retirement, a new chapter begins. Mid-West Tree Service is now proudly under the management of Gabriel’s Inc. Landscaping and Tree Service — a company known for its passion, precision, and high standards across landscaping and tree care. With this new leadership, the legacy of Mid-West Tree continues, now with expanded services, a larger team of experts, and cutting-edge tools to take your lawn and landscape to the next level. While the face of the company may be changing, the values remain the same: honesty, hard work, and the kind of personalized service Eric built his name on.

"Wonderful experience with this company. Romeo was very responsive and helpful talking through our needs for three trees in our yard. Outstanding service with friendly, respectful and knowledgeable staff. Oscar and his crew were amazing and left my yard in pristine condition. Not a leaf or branch anywhere to be seen. Reasonable cost with a truly exceptional outcome. Highly recommend Mid-West Tree Service."

"I Enjoyed working with Mid-West Tree Service. Price was reasonable, the work was well done, and Eric and the crew went above and beyond to protect pavers, fencing etc. Icing on the cake … clean up was thorough! I’ll hire them again!!"

"I have used Mid-West Tree Service numerous times to clear trees and buckthorn around my property. Eric is outstanding to work with…prompt, professional and follows-thru. And he meets with me personally before, during and after every job. His crew is excellent and careful…and consistent. Oscar, the crew lead, does an terrific job on site and has been with Eric for 20+ years (which also says a lot about Eric’s approach to managing his people).

I highly recommend Mid-West Tree Service and Eric. You will receive outstanding service!!"

"When you watch them working, you can see and appreciate that they really know what they are doing and how to cut and lower down huge branches to avoid house damage. One of the trees I just had removed had quite a few obstructions which the team either moved or was able to work around. In 2017 they removed some major branches that were above my "Glass Sun Room"... This was EXTREMELY important that they did it right since even a small branch falling would have broken the glass roof. They did EXCELLENT jobs on all of the above. Also the team is very friendly and engaging and great to talk with when either they or I had questions or comments."
