Tree work in Kirkwood
Kirkwood is one of St. Louis County’s oldest suburbs, built around the railroad station and a walkable downtown on Kirkwood Road (Lindbergh) and the streets that run off it. The older neighborhoods — the blocks around Kirkwood Park, the station, and the streets toward Webster Groves and Des Peres — have the same kind of large, long-lived oaks, maples and sycamores we see in Webster Groves, often on lots that were laid out when those trees were saplings. Newer pockets and the edges toward Manchester and I-44 have the usual subdivision mix. Kirkwood is about 47 miles from our Alton shop, typically 55 to 65 minutes, and we are honest that this is a planned west-county trip. We still come, we still take storm calls, and we bring the crane when a downtown or near-station lot leaves no room to drop a tree. We handle tree service, tree removal and tree trimming in Kirkwood, MO, including those tight downtown lots. East of downtown, the blocks toward Webster Groves keep that same old-suburb pattern of big front-yard trees and not much room to drop them.

Local tip
If you are opening a new driveway or expanding a patio under a big Kirkwood oak, get the tree looked at first. Cutting roots on one side is a classic way to start a lean toward the house.
