Tree Service in Grafton, IL

Tree work in Grafton

Grafton sits at the confluence of the Illinois and Mississippi rivers, with Pere Marquette State Park just upriver and towering limestone bluffs right behind Main Street. Homes and businesses are squeezed between the river and the bluffs, and many properties up on the hills come with steep, wooded slopes and long drives. Tree work in Grafton means working on slopes, near the river, around busy tourist season traffic and on properties where access is tight.

Trees we see in Grafton

Bluff forests of oak, hickory, sugar maple, basswood, walnut and redbud above; cottonwood, silver maple, sycamore and willow in the river bottoms below. Eastern red cedars cling to the rocky bluff faces.

Pests and diseases around Grafton

Dead ash trees from emerald ash borer are scattered through the bluff woods and along the roads. Repeated flooding has stressed and killed many trees in low areas. Oak wilt is present in the region; we follow seasonal pruning rules for oaks.

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

Storms and emergencies in Grafton

Grafton has dealt with major river floods (1993 and 2019 among the worst), and saturated soil afterward leaves trees prone to tipping. Storms funnel through the river valley, and trees on steep slopes can come down across roads and onto homes.

Local tip

If your property flooded, keep an eye on the trees for a couple of years. Root damage from long flooding often shows up later as thinning crowns and dead limbs.
