Tree Service in Black Jack, MO

Tree work in Black Jack

Black Jack is a small city in north St. Louis County, named for the blackjack oak trees that once covered the area. Most homes are in neighborhoods built from the 1960s through the '80s, with mature yard trees that are now 40 to 60 years old. Many streets back up to small creeks and wooded strips. Fitting a city named for an oak, a lot of our work here is oak care and removal.

Trees we see in Black Jack

Pin oak, white oak, red oak, blackjack and post oak remnants, sweetgum, silver and red maple, hackberry and some big sycamores along the creeks.

Pests and diseases around Black Jack

Oak wilt and oak decline are the big concerns. We don't prune oaks from April through July unless there's a hazard, to avoid spreading oak wilt. Emerald ash borer has killed most untreated ash. Pin oaks often show iron chlorosis.

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

Storms and emergencies in Black Jack

Older oaks can carry big dead limbs that come down in summer storms. Large pin oaks over houses are the most common storm call.
