MadCowTree ServiceTree work in Rosewood Heights
Rosewood Heights is mostly 1950s to 1970s ranch houses on generous lots, many of them with the original shade trees that went in when the houses were built. Those trees are now 50 to 70 years old and often the biggest thing on the block. Back yards tend to be fenced, so our tracked spider lift (it fits through a standard gate) and the crane get a lot of use. Because it's unincorporated, there's no city forestry department; trees along your frontage are usually your responsibility.
Trees we see in Rosewood Heights
Silver maples and pin oaks are the dominant shade trees, along with sweetgums, white pines and spruces planted as windbreaks, and plenty of hackberry and mulberry along fence lines. Many lots have one or two big trees that are over-mature and ready for a serious look.
Pests and diseases around Rosewood Heights
We see a lot of dead and dying ash trees here that were never treated for emerald ash borer. White pines and spruces stressed by heat and drought get needle cast and canker diseases. Bagworms are common on arborvitae and junipers.
Our arborists treat any tree disease or pest. See tree health care.
Storms and emergencies in Rosewood Heights
With so many 60-year-old silver maples, thunderstorms and ice bring down big limbs onto roofs, sheds and fences. Trimming deadwood and thinning heavy limbs before storm season is cheap insurance.

Local tip
If your old maple has a large cavity, a split, or mushrooms at the base, have it looked at before the next storm. Our arborists will check it for free.
