MadCowTree ServiceTree work in Granite City
Granite City is a steel town with deep roots, and its older neighborhoods (around Niedringhaus Avenue, near Wilson Park and the blocks off Nameoki Road) are packed with homes on tight lots and alleys, shaded by trees that are as old as the houses. In the newer areas to the north and east, it's ranch homes and split-levels with 30- to 50-year-old yard trees. Tight lots mean almost every big removal is a sectional job with ropes, a lift or the crane.

Neighborhoods and roads we work in Granite City
We work in Nameoki and the streets along Nameoki Road (Route 203), in Lincoln Place and the older blocks near downtown and the mill, around Wilson Park, and in the newer subdivisions on the north and east sides toward Pontoon Beach. Granite City is flat American Bottom ground behind the Mississippi levees, with heavy, often wet clay soil.
Getting to you: Granite City is about 30 minutes from our shop by Route 255 or Route 3.
Trees we see in Granite City
Silver maple, pin oak, hackberry, sycamore and sweetgum are the common big trees, with plenty of mulberry, box elder and tree of heaven growing in alleys and along fences. The American Bottom soils are heavy and wet in spots, so roots stay shallow.
Pests and diseases around Granite City
Emerald ash borer has killed most untreated ash. Tree of heaven, a fast-spreading invasive, pops up in alleys and vacant lots. Pin oak chlorosis is common. Scale insects show up on stressed maples and magnolias.
Our arborists treat any tree disease or pest. See tree health care.
Storms and emergencies in Granite City
Flat, open land lets storm winds build. Old silver maples and Bradford pears drop limbs onto houses, cars, garages and alleys. We clear the emergency first and then help with the rest.

Local tip
If a tree is in the strip between the sidewalk and street, check with the city before removing it. Trees on your property and in your alley-side yard are yours.
