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.

Most of Florissant is gently rolling ground, with lower, wetter land near the creek.

FAQ

Florissant tree service FAQ

My old pin oak is half dead. Remove it or prune it?

If more than about a third of the crown is dead, removal is usually the better option. If the dead wood is limited, a good deadwood prune can keep it going. We’ll give you an honest opinion.

Can you get equipment into a fenced Florissant backyard?

Usually, yes. Our tracked lift fits through most gates, and the crane can lift pieces over the house.

Who handles street trees in Florissant?

Check with the city before removing a tree between the sidewalk and street. Trees on your side are yours, and we can trim or remove them.

Can you trim the big pin oak over my Florissant house?

Yes. We remove deadwood and reduce heavy limbs over the roof. If the oak is a red-oak type, we prune it in the dormant season to avoid oak wilt.

Do you work in Old Town Florissant’s historic area?

Yes. We plan access carefully around older homes and keep yards clean.

Are estimates free in Florissant?

Yes. Estimates are always free in Florissant and everywhere else we work. Call 618-CUT-WOOD (618-288-9663) or send a photo with the form.

“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.”
