Tree work in Berkeley
Berkeley sits in north St. Louis County around Lambert Airport, along Natural Bridge Road, I-170 and the streets toward Ferguson and Hazelwood. A lot of the city is post-war housing on compact lots, with the same mature silver maples, pin oaks and dying ash we see throughout north county. Airport-area wind, tight yards and, for some blocks, the memory of the 2011 Good Friday tornado all shape the work. Berkeley, Missouri is easy to confuse with Berkeley, California or other Berkeleys, so we always say the state. At about 30 miles from our Alton shop it sits right on the edge of the radius we have always described as our usual range: a 40- to 45-minute trip via I-270 in typical traffic, and a town we now list alongside Hazelwood, Ferguson and Bridgeton. Access is often the issue — fences, narrow side yards, and trees that grew up against one-story houses and garages.
Neighborhoods and roads we work in Berkeley
We work the streets off Natural Bridge Road, I-170 and Airport Road, the neighborhoods toward Ferguson, Hazelwood and Jennings, and the edges toward Bridgeton and St. Ann.
Getting to you: Berkeley is about 30 miles from 152 Fosterburg Road, typically 40 to 45 minutes by I-270. It sits at the edge of the radius we have long described as our usual range, and we treat it as a regular north-county stop.
Trees we see in Berkeley
Silver maple, pin oak, red maple, sweetgum, Bradford pear, spruce, honeylocust, and leftover ash on most lots. Lower ground toward the creeks adds cottonwood, sycamore and willow.
Pests and diseases around Berkeley
Emerald ash borer, bagworms, chlorosis on pin oaks, and decay in older maples. Storm-wounded trees can look fine for a season and then fail later, especially after a tornado or a serious wind event.
Our arborists treat any tree disease or pest. See tree health care.

Local tip
After a major storm, a tree can be cracked or root-sprung and still be standing. If you see a new lean, a split crotch or heaved soil around the base, have it checked before the next front comes through.
