Tree work in Lemay
Lemay is an unincorporated community in south St. Louis County, along South Broadway, I-55 and the streets around Jefferson Barracks, River City and the River des Peres. It is not a city with its own forestry crew, which matters when people ask who owns a tree along the road. Most of the housing is older and modest, on compact lots, with silver maples, pin oaks, sweetgums and cottonwoods that have had a long time to get big. The ground drops toward the river and the River des Peres, so some lots are low and wet and the trees are shallow-rooted. Lemay is about 42 miles from our Alton shop, typically 50 to 60 minutes by I-255 and I-55, and we also work Mehlville, Oakville and the city of St. Louis next door, plus Cahokia just across the river. We keep this page clearly about Lemay, Missouri, not a generic St. Louis listing. Access, wet ground and trees hard against houses are the usual job conditions.

Local tip
A cottonwood or silver maple that has been in wet ground for years can look leafy and still be poorly anchored. If it leans toward the house, have it checked.
