Tree work in Pocahontas
Pocahontas, Illinois is a small town on I-70 and historic U.S. 40 in Bond County, about 48 miles from our shop in Alton. It is easy to mix this Pocahontas up with the Arkansas city of the same name, which is why we always say Pocahontas, IL. The town itself is compact: a few streets off State Route 143 and U.S. 40, older houses with mature shade trees, a grain-elevator skyline, and then farm lots and wooded draws as soon as you leave the corporate limits. It is a small town, and we will not pretend otherwise. What we can say is that we already run I-70 for Highland, Greenville and the rest of this corridor, and Pocahontas sits right on that path. Jobs tend to be one or two big trees on a small in-town lot, a dead ash or hedge row on a farm, or storm damage after wind comes across the open fields. We schedule Pocahontas work as a planned trip, often on the same day as Highland or Greenville, and we come sooner when a tree is on a house or a driveway is blocked.

Pests and diseases around Pocahontas
Emerald ash borer has gone through the ash. Bagworms hit cedar and arborvitae. Hedge rows get overgrown and hollow. 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 Pocahontas
Open Bond County land gives wind a long run. Trees on the west edge of town and along I-70 take the brunt of summer storms. We see snapped tops, pears split in half, and whole trees down across long rural driveways. Ice is hard on the older maples in town.

Local tip
On a farm lot, a hollow hedge tree or a dead ash along the lane is easy to ignore until it lands on the driveway or a shed. If it is already leaning, take it down on a clear day.
