Tree Service in Highland, IL

Tree work in Highland

Highland, Illinois is a Madison County town with Swiss roots, often called Little Switzerland, about 41 miles from our Alton shop. Downtown still centers on the square and the streets off Broadway, Walnut and Main, with older homes under big maples and oaks. Around Silver Lake and Lindendale Park the lots get more wooded, and out toward Grantfork, Pierron and the I-70 interchange the properties mix farms, fence rows and newer subdivisions. Those newer streets have the usual 20- to 30-year-old pin oaks, pears, sweetgums and spruces that are now rubbing roofs. Highland is far enough east that this is a scheduled trip from Alton, usually by I-270 and I-70 or across on Route 143, and we often pair it with work in Troy, Maryville or Pocahontas. The name “Highland” shows up in more than one state, which is why our page and our paperwork say Highland, IL. If you found us while comparing local tree removal in Highland, Illinois, we will come look at the actual tree, not just guess from a map.

Trees we see in Highland

Older Highland lots carry sugar maple, silver maple, red and white oak, walnut, spruce and the last ash. Silver Lake and the creek corridors add sycamore, cottonwood and willow. Subdivisions are heavy with pin oak, red maple, sweetgum, Bradford pear, river birch, honeylocust and arborvitae.

Pests and diseases around Highland

Emerald ash borer, bagworms on arborvitae and cedar, needle diseases and mites on spruce, and iron chlorosis on pin oaks in the heavier soil are what we see most. Oak wilt is a reason we keep red-oak pruning in the dormant season when we can.

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

Storms and emergencies in Highland

Open farm ground around Highland lets wind build before it hits town. We see pears split, spruces uprooted in wet soil, and large oaks drop limbs onto roofs after summer storms. Ice in winter loads the silver maples along the older streets.

Local tip

Pin oaks that have gone yellow and thin in a Highland subdivision are often starving for iron in clay soil, not just “old.” A health visit can tell you whether treatment is worth it or whether removal is the honest option.
