MadCowTree ServiceTree work in St. Louis
St. Louis city has some of the most demanding tree work in the region. Neighborhoods like Soulard, Lafayette Square, Tower Grove, The Hill, Dutchtown and the Central West End are packed with brick homes on narrow lots, alleys, garages and power lines, all under trees that are often older than the houses next to them. Access is tight, and there's almost never room to drop anything. That's where our crane, lifts and grapple trucks come in.

Neighborhoods and roads we work in St. Louis
We work in north city neighborhoods like Baden, Walnut Park and Riverview, in south city neighborhoods such as Dutchtown, Tower Grove South and Bevo Mill, and in central neighborhoods around Forest Park. Most city lots are narrow, with alleys behind and brick homes close together, so a lot of St. Louis work is done in sections or with the crane.
Getting to you: The City of St. Louis is about 35 to 45 minutes from our shop, by US-67 and I-270 or Route 255, depending on the neighborhood.
Trees we see in St. Louis
Big pin oaks, sycamores, silver maples, hackberries, honeylocusts, ginkgos and London planetrees, plus a lot of volunteer mulberry, tree of heaven and box elder in alleys and vacant lots.
Pests and diseases around St. Louis
Emerald ash borer has killed huge numbers of ash across the city. Tree of heaven spreads aggressively in alleys. Anthracnose on sycamores, pin oak chlorosis and decay in old silver maples are common.
Our arborists treat any tree disease or pest. See tree health care.
Storms and emergencies in St. Louis
City storms bring big limbs down onto roofs, alley garages, cars and lines. In major storms (like the 2006 storms that left much of St. Louis without power), crews and equipment are in high demand; call us as early as you can.

Street trees between the sidewalk and curb are generally handled by the city's Forestry Division. Trees in your yard and alley-side are yours. If you're not sure, ask before you cut.
