Tree work in Cottage Hills

Cottage Hills is an unincorporated community between Bethalto, Rosewood Heights and Roxana. It's a mix of older homes, mobile-home lots and properties with some acreage, plenty of them with a tree line or woods out back. A lot of our Cottage Hills work is the kind that doesn't happen in subdivisions: clearing overgrown fence lines, opening up a back lot, taking down trees around a garage or pole barn, and hauling off storm debris.

Trees we see in Cottage Hills

Along with the usual silver maples and pin oaks, there's a lot of hackberry, black locust, mulberry, box elder and Osage orange (hedge apple) in the fence rows, and bush honeysuckle choking out the understory. Hedge and locust are tough on chainsaws and chippers, so we bring the right gear.

Pests and diseases around Cottage Hills

Dead ash trees along tree lines and in back lots are common. Bush honeysuckle isn't a pest in the insect sense, but it crowds out everything else; we can clear it out. Bagworms hit cedars along property lines.

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

Storms and emergencies in Cottage Hills

Trees at the edge of a wooded area catch a lot of wind in summer storms, and a single uprooted tree can take down a fence or block a drive. We clear it and haul it, day or night.

Local tip

Thinking about clearing a back lot? Walk it with us first. We'll flag the good trees worth keeping (often an oak or two) and clear around them.

“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.”
