MadCowTree ServiceTree work in Greenville
Greenville is the Bond County seat and home to Greenville University, about 57 miles from our Alton shop — the farthest of the new Illinois towns, out I-70 past Pocahontas. Downtown along Second Street and the courthouse square still has older commercial buildings and big shade trees. The neighborhoods around the university, the streets off Illinois 127 and U.S. 40, and the lots out toward Governor Bond Lake mix modest in-town houses with larger, wooded properties at the edge. Greenville is a real small city, not a suburb, and the drive is a planned hour-plus trip from Alton. We are honest about that. We still take the work, we still come for storms, and we often pair Greenville with Pocahontas or Highland on the same I-70 run. The name Greenville belongs to a lot of towns in other states, so our titles and our paperwork say Greenville, IL. The trees that need us most here are oversized silver maples on small lots, dead ash at the wood line, and storm-broken pines and pears in the newer edges of town.

Local tip
A dead or hollow tree on a long rural lane can trap you at the house after a storm. If it already leans over the drive, it is cheaper and safer to take it down on a clear day.
