Tree work in Brighton
Brighton is a small village on the line between Macoupin and Jersey counties. In town, there are older homes with mature shade trees and big front yards. Outside town, it's farmland, homes on acreage and woods along the creeks. A lot of people have moved out here for the space, and that space usually comes with a lot of trees to look after.
Neighborhoods and roads we work in Brighton
We work in town along Route 111 and the streets around the village center and rail line, in the subdivisions on the edge of town, and on farms and country homes out toward Bunker Hill and Medora. The land is flat to gently rolling prairie farmland, so trees around homes stand exposed to wind from every direction.
Getting to you: Brighton is about 20 minutes north of our shop on Route 111.
Trees we see in Brighton
In town: silver and sugar maple, pin oak, hackberry and old elms that survived Dutch elm disease. In the country: oak-hickory woods, black walnut, hedge and honey locust in fence rows, and pine and spruce windbreaks around farmhouses.
Pests and diseases around Brighton
Emerald ash borer has worked through the area. American elms are still threatened by Dutch elm disease; if an elm suddenly wilts and yellows in one section, call us quickly. Bagworms and spruce diseases are common on windbreak evergreens.
Our arborists treat any tree disease or pest. See tree health care.
