TREE FARM OR NURSERY

Paul Tree Farms

Poems have been written about the beauty of trees, including this famous stanza from Joyce Kilmer: "I think that I shall never see/ A poem lovely as a tree." And with more than 50 species and 40,000 trees to choose from at Paul Tree Farms, a lot of poems could be written.

Touting 20 years of experience and credentials in horticultural sciences, this tree farm has a growing reputation. Its trees are grown on some 120 acres of Illinois rich topsoil and maintained for eight to 10 years before harvest. The farm delivers and installs some of the largest trees in the state. Some of the more popular choices from this tree farm are maples, oaks, crabapples, birch, pine, spruce and arborvitae. The company also mulches, injects and provides a warranty for its trees. The business offers free estimates and quantity and military discounts are available.

For those who admire the beauty of trees in the landscape, Paul's Paradise at Paul Tree Farms offers a classy country venue to hold a special event. Receptions, parties, corporate events, reunions and more can all be celebrated here, where parties can bring their own food and drinks or hire a catering company. The large venue has two patios on each side and indoor and outdoor stages and, of course, is surrounded by plenty of beautiful trees.
