Tree Service in Glen Carbon, IL

Tree work in Glen Carbon

Glen Carbon started as a coal-mining village in the bluffs between Edwardsville and Maryville and grew into a large suburb. The older part of the village near Main Street has big trees on hilly lots, while subdivisions built in the '80s, '90s and 2000s fill in along Route 159, Glen Carbon Road and Old Troy Road. A lot of those subdivision trees are now 25 to 35 years old and starting to crowd houses, roofs and each other. Many backyards border the wooded ravines and trails, too.

Neighborhoods and roads we work in Glen Carbon

We work in the old mining-town blocks along Main Street, in the subdivisions off Route 157, Meridian Road and Glen Crossing Road, and on the wooded lots that back up to ravines along the bluff and Judy’s Branch. The bluff edge gives much of Glen Carbon steep, wooded back yards.

Getting to you: Glen Carbon is about 30 minutes from our shop by Route 255 and Route 143 through Edwardsville, or down Route 157.

Trees we see in Glen Carbon

Pin oak, red maple, sweetgum, Bradford pear, honeylocust, river birch, Norway spruce and arborvitae in the subdivisions. Native oak-hickory woods, walnut and hackberry along the bluffs and ravines. And, until recently, a lot of green ash, most of which is now dead or dying.

Pests and diseases around Glen Carbon

Emerald ash borer has hit Glen Carbon's subdivisions hard. Bagworms and spider mites on arborvitae and spruce, scale on magnolias, and anthracnose on sycamores are common. Pin oak chlorosis shows up in compacted subdivision soils.

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

Storms and emergencies in Glen Carbon

Hilly lots and shallow-rooted subdivision trees can tip over in storms after heavy rain. Bradford pears split. Dead ash trees can drop limbs on calm days, not just in storms.
