Tree Trimming in Hollister

Hollister is a small city in Taney County directly across Lake Taneycomo from Branson, connected by a bridge on US-65. It has its own historic downtown and a mix of older residential neighborhoods, vacation cabins, and newer retirement homes. The terrain is steep Ozark hill country similar to Branson. Hollister is often overlooked but has a significant stock of older homes and commercial buildings where large trees have grown unchecked for decades.

Springfield gets serious ice storms most winters, and those storms snap weak or overgrown branches right onto roofs and power lines. The big silver maples and Bradford pears common in older neighborhoods like Rountree and Phelps Grove grow fast but split easily once they get past 30 or 40 feet. Letting a tree go untrimmed for several years doesn't just look bad — it turns a manageable job into a much bigger one.

We walk the tree before we quote it, looking at branch angles, deadwood, and anything hanging over a structure. Cuts get made at the right collar point so the tree seals itself — not just hacked back to a stub, which is what leaves ugly stubs that rot from the inside out.
