Advanced Tree Care has acquired Topps Tree Service in Glenview, Ilinois.
Advanced Tree Care has provided residential and commercial tree care in the Chicagoland area since 2008. With a presence in 13 counties over two states and a fleet of 44 units, Advanced Tree Care provides services to over 15,000 residential customers and 16 government agencies for tree and landscape care in park districts, municipal and corporate campuses, business districts and more.
“We’re pleased to continue our growth in the Chicago-area market with the acquisition of Topps Tree Service,” Advanced Tree Care founder and president Mike Bramucci said. “Now, Advanced Tree Care will be able to provide additional residential and commercial service to the North Shore communities that have trusted Topps for over 40 years. We look forward to serving Topps customers with the latest in technology and education and our enthusiastic customer service.”
Topps Tree Service was founded in 1970. In 1973, Mike Machan purchased the business, which had been started by his uncle, and expanded its focus from stump removal to full-service tree care. “My uncle helped me get my start,” Mike Machan says, “when I went to work for him at age 14.” He was just 17 at the time he took over Topps, and over the next 47 years, Mike poured his passion for business and tree care into it, growing Topps into a top 50 tree care service in Illinois. With the acquisition by Advanced Tree Care, the torch is passed to a new entrepreneur.
Mike Bramucci founded Advanced Tree Care in 2008 with the vision of providing superior customer service through the latest advanced technology and equipment to create operational efficiency. Mike earned his International Society of Arborist (ISA) certification at age 18 and was, at the time, the youngest certified arborist in the state of Illinois. Over the next 10 years, he perfected the art of tree care and gained experience managing teams before founding Advanced Tree Care. Combining technology, equipment and a well-trained staff, Advanced Tree Care delivers commercial and residential tree and landscape services including:
- Tree pruning
- Tree and stump removal
- Maintenance
- Land clearing and restoration
- Tree inventory
- Advanced thermal tree imaging
- Property maintenance programs for golf courses, municipal campuses, cemeteries, golf courses, park districts and more
