Tree work in Florissant
Florissant is one of the oldest cities west of the Mississippi, with the Old Town district and Old St. Ferdinand Shrine dating back to French colonial days. Most of the city, though, is post-war: thousands of brick ranch homes built in the 1950s and '60s, each with a front-yard shade tree and a back yard behind a chain-link fence. Those trees are now 60 to 70 years old, and many of them are at the end of their lives.

We work in Old Town Florissant around St. Ferdinand Shrine and rue St. Francois, in the post-war subdivisions off Lindbergh Boulevard, New Halls Ferry Road and Parker Road, and along the wooded banks of Coldwater Creek. Most of Florissant is gently rolling ground, with lower, wetter land near the creek.
Getting to you: Florissant is about 30 minutes from our shop, across the Clark Bridge and down US-67 (Lindbergh), or by Route 255 and I-270.

Storms and emergencies in Florissant
Big old trees over small houses and narrow lots mean limbs on roofs, cars and fences when storms roll through. We see a lot of Florissant storm calls every summer.
