November is upon us, and that means more than turkey, family gatherings and a few days off work. It means winter’s almost here, and planting season is about to come to a close. While winter is a great time to browse and buy mature trees to plant come spring, it isn’t too late to have a mature tree planted in the yard and become part of your Illinois landscaping project.
Planting season ends as December begins, which leaves more than enough time to both plant windbreaks and prepare for the upcoming seasons. It might seem like a strange idea to buy mature trees with winter upon us, but it’s actually one of the best times to do so. Read more »

Trick-or-treating may be for kids, but the entire family can enjoy decorating for Halloween. When you’ve found the perfect tree on iTrees.com, your Illinois landscaping is waiting to be outfitted in orange and black for the spooky night.
