Tree work in Webster Groves
Webster Groves is a historic streetcar suburb south of Clayton, with Old Webster, Old Orchard, and streets like Lockwood, Gore, Elm and Big Bend lined with houses that have been sitting under oaks, maples and sycamores for generations. Lots can be tight, especially near the commercial districts and the train tracks, and many of the trees are large enough that a removal is a crane job, not a drop. Webster University and the older school campuses add another layer of big campus trees at the edge of residential blocks. Webster Groves is about 44 miles from our Alton shop, typically 50 to 60 minutes, and we also work Kirkwood, Clayton and the city of St. Louis nearby. We handle tree service, tree removal and tree trimming in Webster Groves, MO, and the Missouri tag keeps us out of other Webster towns. The work here rewards patience: protect the yard, protect the neighboring roofs, and do not take a shortcut with a tree that size. We also work the residential streets that run off Big Bend and Lockwood toward the St. Louis city line, where the same large old trees sit on slightly tighter lots.

Local tip
If a big front-yard tree has a split crotch or a mushroom on the trunk, have it looked at. In a town this old, “it has always been there” is not the same as “it is sound.”
