Tree Trimming in Lebanon

Lebanon is the county seat of Laclede County, sitting at the crossroads of I-44 and US-65 roughly midway between Springfield and Rolla. It's a working-class market town that serves a wide rural area and has steady if unspectacular growth. The housing stock is a mix of older downtown homes, mid-century neighborhoods, and rural residential properties on the outskirts. The Ozark National Scenic Riverways are nearby, and the area has significant native hardwood timber in and around developed properties.

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.
