Granite City’s older, established neighborhoods near the river carry some of the tallest, most mature trees in the Metro East — a source of pride for homeowners, but also a bigger job when a limb dies, a trunk splits, or a tree simply outgrows a small city lot. BCS Tree Service has worked throughout Granite City since 1995, handling everything from routine pruning on residential streets to full removals near homes, garages, and utility lines.
We also work regularly with Granite City businesses and property managers near the industrial corridor, providing commercial tree maintenance that keeps job sites and parking areas clear of hazards without disrupting operations.
Many of Granite City’s neighborhoods were built decades ago, which means a lot of mature trees are now reaching the age where storm damage, root decay, and disease become bigger risks. Proximity to the Mississippi River bottoms also means higher humidity and wetter soil conditions in some areas, which can accelerate root and trunk decay in older trees if they aren’t inspected periodically.
Yes. Many Granite City homes sit on established lots with mature trees close to houses, garages and utility lines, and we have the equipment and rigging to remove or trim them safely.
Yes. Many Granite City homes sit on established lots with mature trees close to houses, garages and utility lines, and we have the equipment and rigging to remove or trim them safely.
That’s one of our specialties. We routinely take down big, storm-damaged or leaning trees in tight spots throughout Granite City using cranes and professional rigging when needed.
Emerald Ash Borer, storm and wind damage, and aging trees planted decades ago are the most frequent. Our arborists evaluate health and safety before recommending removal.
Yes, 24/7. When a storm brings a tree or limb down on your property, our crews respond quickly to restore safety.
We do — for businesses, industrial properties, apartment complexes and property managers, including ongoing maintenance and large removals.
Yes. For the largest or most awkward trees — tight lots, trees over garages, storm-shattered trunks — we bring in cranes and heavy rigging to lift sections out safely rather than risk the drop.
Yes, and it’s common here given the older neighborhoods. We work to strict clearances around energized lines and can coordinate with Ameren to temporarily disconnect and reconnect power when a tree is close to the service line. Trees on the utility’s main lines are typically Ameren’s to handle.
It does both. A crane or bucket truck can pull a tree out of a tight Granite City lot in far less time than hand work, which reduces labor cost, and lifting sections out over the yard keeps your grass from getting torn up.
