Tree work in Collinsville

Collinsville sits right on the bluffs above the American Bottom, near Cahokia Mounds and home of the World's Largest Catsup Bottle. The older uptown neighborhoods around Main Street have early-1900s homes with tall trees and tight lots. Up and down the bluffs, newer subdivisions sit on hilly ground with wooded ravines out back. Down below, the bottomland is flat and wet. Every part of town has a different kind of tree job.

Neighborhoods and roads we work in Collinsville

We work in the older uptown neighborhoods along Main Street and the streets near the World’s Largest Catsup Bottle, on the bluff-top homes with steep wooded back yards, in the subdivisions off Route 159 and Route 157, and toward Maryville and Fairview Heights. Collinsville straddles the edge of the bluff above the American Bottom near Cahokia Mounds, so the west side drops steeply toward the bottoms.

Getting to you: Collinsville is about 35 minutes from our shop by Route 255 and I-55/70.

Oak-hickory woods on the bluffs with sugar maple, walnut and hackberry; silver maple, pin oak, sycamore and sweetgum in town; cottonwood and willow in the bottoms. Subdivisions add red maple, Bradford pear, spruce and arborvitae.

Pests and diseases around Collinsville

Emerald ash borer has killed most untreated ash. Oak wilt threatens red oaks on the bluffs. Bagworms and spider mites on evergreens, and chlorosis on pin oaks, are common.

Our arborists treat any tree disease or pest. See tree health care.

Storms and emergencies in Collinsville

Trees on the bluff edge face storms coming across from St. Louis with nothing in the way. Hillside trees can uproot in saturated soil. Uptown, old maples drop limbs onto houses and alleys.

Local tip

Building or regrading on a bluff lot? Changing the soil level around a tree's roots by even a few inches can kill it slowly. Talk to us first.

“They did such a great job! It was rainy when they came to my house and they took extra precautions and laid down boards to help lessen the tire tracks. It was really nice that all the wood was in one nice pile and out of the way! They were quick and efficient and just overall did a job well done!”

“Couldn't be happier!! The boys did a fantastic job. Cleaned up the mess. Was very polite. The price was reasonable. Was good entertainment watching the one up in the tree doing the cutting.”

“These guys were very Professional, fast Responding and Reasonably priced and that’s no lie. I would recommend them over many companies that I got estimates from. They came out, gave an estimate and did the work in less than 2 weeks. They were amazing especially since the tree was between 2 sets of power lines and they dropped it, hauled it off and cleaned up all in less than 8 hours and without disturbing traffic on a very busy road.”
