MadCowTree ServiceTree work in Ferguson
Ferguson has some of the most mature tree canopy in north St. Louis County. Neighborhoods near historic downtown and along the older streets off Florissant Road and around January-Wabash Park have early- to mid-1900s homes under huge oaks, maples and sycamores. Those big trees are part of Ferguson's character, and many of them need careful pruning or, when it's time, careful removal over older houses.
