Tree work in Troy
Troy sits where I-55 and I-70 meet, and it's been one of the fastest-growing towns in Madison County. The older part of town near Main Street has mature trees on traditional lots; the newer subdivisions spreading out in every direction have young to middle-aged trees that were often planted close to houses and on compacted soil. A lot of our Troy work is in those subdivisions: removing trees that outgrew their spot, trimming roofs clear, and replacing dead ash.
Neighborhoods and roads we work in Troy
We work in the older homes around downtown Troy and Main Street, the subdivisions off Route 162 and US-40, the neighborhoods near Tri-Township Park, and rural parcels toward Marine and St. Jacob. Troy sits on rolling upland with creek draws feeding Silver Creek.
Getting to you: Troy is about 35 minutes from our shop by Route 255 and I-55/70.
Trees we see in Troy
Red maple, pin oak, Bradford pear, sweetgum, honeylocust, river birch, spruce and arborvitae in the subdivisions; silver maple, hackberry, oak and walnut in the older parts of town and along creeks.
Pests and diseases around Troy
Emerald ash borer has hit Troy's subdivision ash trees hard. Bagworms on arborvitae, spider mites on spruce, and iron chlorosis on pin oaks are common.
Our arborists treat any tree disease or pest. See tree health care.

Local tip
Bradford (Callery) pears in Troy are now 20 to 30 years old, which is when they tend to split. If yours has a narrow V crotch, plan to replace it before it fails.
