MadCowTree Service
Boom. Crash. Thud. Smash. These are all sounds that no homeowner in Alton, IL wants to hear, especially in the middle of a weather event or major storm. At MadCow Tree Service, we know exactly how those unwanted sounds can make you cringe and start considering the costs and effort of emergency tree cleanup services. While certain landscaping costs – lawn care, mowing, pruning, and so on – are expected, emergency tree removal often comes as a surprise. So when should you call our expert team for tree-related concerns?
When Significant Damage Threatens Your Trees
Even a “little” lean isn’t so little when your Alton, IL home is in the trajectory of a heavy trunk. If a recent storm has pushed or tilted a large tree toward your property, your home, family, and pets may be in danger. Large trees will not typically “right” themselves, and exposed roots and misaligned canopy weight can bring down a tilted tree faster than most people realize. If you’re unsure if your post-storm or post-accident tree poses a danger, contact MadCow Tree Service for an assessment. Better safe than sorry!
When a Storm is Brewing or Storm Season is Coming
Trimming and pruning trees isn’t just an important part of plant healthcare in your lawn maintenance plans; it could save the life of your tree: and potentially your roof, siding, or shed in the process! With “dead weight” routinely removed in the form of dead or oversized branches, a tree is less likely to topple over in the wind, rain, snow, or ice. Using tree trimming services through MadCow Tree Service also helps your tree route nutrients to places like the roots and living branches, giving it a stronger structure and better root hold over time.
When Nothing’s Fallen…Yet
Dead or infected trees are very deceptive; even when no leaves are growing, the trunk can still look more than sturdy enough to support the weight of your dead or dying tree. Meanwhile, the inside may be completely hollowed out by rot or pests, leading to an incredibly precarious situation for your Alton, IL home. Tree removal is just as vital to keeping your lawn maintenance up-to-date as trimming, and it could prevent the need for headaches and cleanup services later, as well.
