MadCowTree ServiceTree work in Cottage Hills
Cottage Hills is an unincorporated community between Bethalto, Rosewood Heights and Roxana. It's a mix of older homes, mobile-home lots and properties with some acreage, plenty of them with a tree line or woods out back. A lot of our Cottage Hills work is the kind that doesn't happen in subdivisions: clearing overgrown fence lines, opening up a back lot, taking down trees around a garage or pole barn, and hauling off storm debris.

Neighborhoods and roads we work in Cottage Hills
We work along Route 111, on the side roads toward Bethalto and Roxana, and on the larger parcels that back up to woods and creek draws. Cottage Hills sits on the rolling uplands above the Wood River valley, so a lot of properties have a wooded slope or ravine at the back.
Getting to you: Cottage Hills is about 15 minutes from our Fosterburg Road shop by Route 140 and Route 111, which runs right through the community.
Trees we see in Cottage Hills
Along with the usual silver maples and pin oaks, there's a lot of hackberry, black locust, mulberry, box elder and Osage orange (hedge apple) in the fence rows, and bush honeysuckle choking out the understory. Hedge and locust are tough on chainsaws and chippers, so we bring the right gear.
Pests and diseases around Cottage Hills
Dead ash trees along tree lines and in back lots are common. Bush honeysuckle isn't a pest in the insect sense, but it crowds out everything else; we can clear it out. Bagworms hit cedars along property lines.
Our arborists treat any tree disease or pest. See tree health care.
Storms and emergencies in Cottage Hills
Trees at the edge of a wooded area catch a lot of wind in summer storms, and a single uprooted tree can take down a fence or block a drive. We clear it and haul it, day or night.

Local tip
Thinking about clearing a back lot? Walk it with us first. We'll flag the good trees worth keeping (often an oak or two) and clear around them.
