Tree Service in Hillsboro, IL

Tree work in Hillsboro

Hillsboro is the Montgomery County seat, built around the historic courthouse square and the streets that drop toward Central Park and Lake Hillsboro. It is about 45 miles from our Alton shop, a little farther than Litchfield, and we often schedule the two towns on the same trip. Downtown still has the old commercial blocks and big shade trees you expect in a county-seat town; the neighborhoods off Route 16, Route 127 and School Street mix older houses with larger lots as you get toward the lake and the country. Out of town, farmsteads, woodlots and creek bottoms are part of the job mix. Hillsboro is not a suburb of St. Louis, and we do not pretend the drive is short. I-55 to Route 16 is a clear shot, and for a planned removal or a storm-damaged tree we will be there. The trees that give people the most trouble here are big silver maples on small lots, dead ash at the edge of woods, and oaks and hickories that have grown into service lines on the rural roads.

Neighborhoods and roads we work in Hillsboro

We work around the courthouse square, the streets down toward Central Park and Lake Hillsboro, the neighborhoods off Route 16, Route 127 and School Street, and the rural roads toward Litchfield, Butler and Greenville.

Pests and diseases around Hillsboro

Emerald ash borer, bagworms, oak wilt risk in red oaks, and decay in old maple wounds are the usual problems. Rural trees also take lightning and farm-equipment damage that opens the trunk to rot.

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

Storms and emergencies in Hillsboro

Hillsboro’s open surroundings mean wind hits hard. We see whole tops come out of maples, pines snap, and lake-side trees tip in saturated soil. Ice storms glaze the courthouse-square trees and the long rural lanes alike. Emergency service is 24/7.

Local tip

A tree over a long gravel driveway in the country can block you in for days after a storm. If it is already leaning or half-dead, taking it down on a clear day is easier than cutting it off the driveway at night.
