Tree Service in Portage des Sioux, MO

Tree work in Portage des Sioux

Portage des Sioux is one of the oldest towns in Missouri, a small river village on the Mississippi just upstream from Alton, known for the Our Lady of the Rivers shrine at the water's edge. Around it, the land is flat, rich bottomland farmed right up to the levees, with homes and farmsteads scattered along the roads. The river and the floods shape everything here, including the trees.

Pests and diseases around Portage des Sioux

Flood stress and root damage are the main tree killers. Weakened trees attract borers and decay. Emerald ash borer has killed the ash along the field edges.

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

Storms and emergencies in Portage des Sioux

Open farmland and river exposure mean strong winds. After floods, saturated soil leaves big bottomland trees likely to uproot.

Local tip

Big cottonwoods near homes and buildings in flood country should be checked regularly; their weak wood and shallow roots make them a common failure after high water.
