Tree work in Brighton

Brighton is a small village on the line between Macoupin and Jersey counties. In town, there are older homes with mature shade trees and big front yards. Outside town, it's farmland, homes on acreage and woods along the creeks. A lot of people have moved out here for the space, and that space usually comes with a lot of trees to look after.

Trees we see in Brighton

In town: silver and sugar maple, pin oak, hackberry and old elms that survived Dutch elm disease. In the country: oak-hickory woods, black walnut, hedge and honey locust in fence rows, and pine and spruce windbreaks around farmhouses.

Pests and diseases around Brighton

Emerald ash borer has worked through the area. American elms are still threatened by Dutch elm disease; if an elm suddenly wilts and yellows in one section, call us quickly. Bagworms and spruce diseases are common on windbreak evergreens.

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

“They did such a great job! It was rainy when they came to my house and they took extra precautions and laid down boards to help lessen the tire tracks. It was really nice that all the wood was in one nice pile and out of the way! They were quick and efficient and just overall did a job well done!”

“Couldn't be happier!! The boys did a fantastic job. Cleaned up the mess. Was very polite. The price was reasonable. Was good entertainment watching the one up in the tree doing the cutting.”

“These guys were very Professional, fast Responding and Reasonably priced and that’s no lie. I would recommend them over many companies that I got estimates from. They came out, gave an estimate and did the work in less than 2 weeks. They were amazing especially since the tree was between 2 sets of power lines and they dropped it, hauled it off and cleaned up all in less than 8 hours and without disturbing traffic on a very busy road.”
