Tree work in Fairview Heights

Fairview Heights is the retail hub of St. Clair County, home to St. Clair Square, but most of the city is residential: neighborhoods from the 1960s and '70s with big, mature shade trees, and newer subdivisions filling in toward O'Fallon. The older neighborhoods off Lincoln Trail, Old Lincoln Trail and Bunkum Road have trees that are now 50+ years old and often bigger than the houses.

Neighborhoods and roads we work in Fairview Heights

We work in the subdivisions off Route 159 and Lincoln Trail (US-50), the neighborhoods around Pleasant Ridge Park, and the homes near St. Clair Square and the I-64 corridor. The city sits on rolling upland with wooded creek ravines, and many lots have mature oaks and maples left from the original woods.

Getting to you: Fairview Heights is about 40 minutes from our shop by Route 255 and I-64.

Storms and emergencies in Fairview Heights

Big, old trees over houses plus spring and summer storms mean limbs on roofs and cars. Fairview Heights' older pin oaks and silver maples are the most common storm calls.

“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.”
