MadCowTree ServiceTree work in Bethalto
Bethalto has two kinds of tree jobs. Around the older center of town, along Prairie Street and the blocks nearby, it's big, mature trees over older homes. In the newer subdivisions toward St. Louis Regional Airport and along the edges of town, it's 20- to 30-year-old trees that were planted too close to the house or are now outgrowing their spot, and a lot of Bradford pears reaching the age where they start splitting apart.

Neighborhoods and roads we work in Bethalto
We work in the older blocks around downtown, the village hall and Central Park, the subdivisions off Route 140 and Route 111, the neighborhoods near Civic Memorial High School and the Bethalto Sports Complex, and the rural edges toward Meadowbrook and St. Louis Regional Airport. Bethalto sits on the uplands east of the Wood River, mostly gently rolling ground with creek draws.
Getting to you: Bethalto is about 15 minutes from our shop straight out Route 140.
Trees we see in Bethalto
Pin oak, silver maple, red maple, sweetgum, honeylocust, Bradford pear and blue spruce are everywhere. Older lots have hackberries, white oaks and walnuts. Many subdivision trees were planted on compacted, scraped soil, which stresses them and shortens their lives.
Pests and diseases around Bethalto
Emerald ash borer has killed most untreated ash trees. Pin oaks in Bethalto often show iron chlorosis (pale yellow leaves). Spruces get needle cast and cytospora canker and start dying from the bottom up. Bagworms are a regular summer problem on arborvitae screens.
Our arborists treat any tree disease or pest. See tree health care.
Storms and emergencies in Bethalto
Open ground around the airport and farmland means storms hit with full force. Bradford pears and over-mature silver maples are the first to go.
