Tree Trimming & Shaping
Trimming your trees of dead branches will keep the rest of the plant healthy and avoid accidents caused by falling limbs. Tree topping is a solution for damaged trees, whereas shaping and crown reduction maintain the size and shape of trees.
Stump Grinding & Removal
After a tree has been cut down, the remaining stump can become a tripping hazard, is difficult to mow around, and may impact your curb appeal. Let us take care of that stump by removing it or performing stump grinding to make it less intrusive to your property.
Shrub Trimming & Removal
Shrubs, bushes, and hedges provide a nice aesthetic to your home or office space. Keep them looking nice for your neighbors and clients with regular trimming. If you have a shrub that is dying or no longer suits your landscape, we can remove it for you, too!

Safe, Expert Tree Removal in the Edwardsville Illinois Area
Trees offer many benefits to the world. They produce oxygen, provide shade with their large branches and foliage, and offer shelter to animals like birds and squirrels. Unfortunately, like any other living thing, trees are not indestructible. Insect infestations or other diseases can cause them to rot and decay, and strong storms can snap off branches, uproot weak or young trees, or cause damage from lightning strikes. Whatever the case, Mark’s Tree Trim and Removal Inc has the necessary experience and equipment to safely remove any tree from your property.
Sometimes a tree removal is necessary for the safety and functionality of your property. Trees with deep root systems can damage septic and sewer systems, causing costly repairs and replacements. If you suspect that a tree growing near utility pipes may soon interfere with your system, call us for safe tree removal. We are fully bonded and insured for your peace of mind.

Tree Trimming and Shaping
Professional Tree Trimming and Shaping Services for the Edwardsville Illinois Area
Most damage to tree limbs is not severe enough to warrant complete tree removal, which is a good thing. Our tree professionals can trim your trees of dead or damaged branches, a process which is also known as dead wooding. It is important to remove these limbs to avoid accidents on your home or business property. If a branch damaged from a previous storm falls on a car, person, or pet, you would be responsible for injuries from that accident. Another safety issue that may require professional tree trimming is if your tree branches are growing too close to power lines. We can trim those branches near the wires without having to cut down the whole tree. Call our tree experts for tree trimming to avoid dangerous accidents on your property.
Some tree trimming services we offer maintain your tree’s aesthetic appeal. Shaping allows us to keep your tree symmetrical and tame branches that grow in unnatural positions. If your tree grows too close to power lines, shaping will both eliminate the hazardous limbs from the wires and maintain a pleasant shape, as opposed to only trimming the branches near the wires.
Tree Topping vs. Crown Reduction
If you need pruning services to control the size of your tree, the two most popular options are tree topping and crown reduction. Mark’s Tree Trim and Removal Inc provides both services, but tree topping is generally a last resort because it can severely and permanently damage a tree. Crown reduction is safe shaping and trimming of the tree’s top limbs to control the height of the tree and maintain an appealing shape of branches and foliage. If you have any questions about our tree trimming services or want more information about the differences, benefits, and risks of topping and crown reduction, call us today!
Stump Grinding and Removal
Your #1 Choice for Stump Grinding and Stump Removal in the Edwardsville Illinois Area
When you remove a tree from your land, in most cases, you only eliminate from the trunk up, leaving you with the stump. If you are creative, you could carve a cool sculpture in the stump, but most of us are not master woodworkers. Also, whether shaped like a stump or a bear, it is still an obstacle in the ground that you have to mow around, and someone could trip over it.
Because of the deep root system anchoring it into the ground, you probably do not have the tools to eliminate the stump yourself. Leave this task up to the tree professionals at Mark’s Tree Trim and Removal Inc. We have the experience and equipment to get the job done right. Contact us for a free estimate and discuss whether stump removal or stump grinding is the best option for your needs.
Deciding Between Stump Grinding and Stump Removal
Both stump grinding and removal are fine options that we offer to our clients, and we can discuss the benefits and disadvantages of each to help you decide which to choose for your home or commercial property. Stump grinding is exactly what it sounds like: grinding down the stump until it is level with the ground. It is faster and cheaper than complete removal, but you are left with the root system and cannot replant in that spot. Removing the entire stump is the permanent solution, but that means it will be more expensive, as it takes more time and extensive labor to remove the entire stump and root system.
Shrub Trimming & Removal
Skilled Shrub Trimming or Removal for the Edwardsville Illinois Area
Shrubs, bushes, and hedges add nice curb appeal to landscaping. Whether your beautifully blooming mums are the talk of the neighborhood or you have planted lush hedges in the garden in front of your office to impress clients, you need to maintain your shrubs’ appearance and health with pruning. Trimming dead branches from your shrubs not only improves the way they look, but it also keeps the plant healthy enough to continue growing. When done properly, trimming can actually make your shrub’s foliage fuller and thicker. However, improper trimming can damage and stunt growth of your plant, which is why you should consult the professionals at Mark’s Tree Trim and Removal Inc for regular bush, hedge, or shrub trimming.
Like trees, shrubs can become diseased and suffer damage from frost, breakage, or insufficient nutrient intake. Dead shrubs in your landscaping send the wrong message to visitors, and they can impede healthy growth of your other plants nearby. Sometimes trimming isn’t enough to save your hedges and they need to be removed. Call on our tree professionals to remove dead or diseased shrubs from your home or business.
Factors to Consider with Shrub Trimming
There is no universal rule to pruning shrubs because every species and variety of shrub, bush, or hedge differs. Generally, you should trim your shrubs while they are dormant, but again, dormant season varies depending on the plant. When and how often you trim your shrubs also depends on how young the plant is, how large this species can grow, the amount of space it has to grow, and how bushy you want your plants to look. Count on our experts for seasonal trimming services that are right for your shrubs and help them thrive.

What Our Clients Say
Kathryn S.
Quick to give a quote, quick to return to do the work, and did the job quickly and perfectly! My yard has a lot of plants, and they trimmed and thinned two large trees without harming a single hosta or flower. Cleaned up the yard afterwards — highly recommend them.
Barbara H.
The service was professional; the employees were courteous and friendly. Every person knew their job and they worked together very well. When they were finished, the yard, deck and the trees were all neat and there was nothing that needed to be picked up or removed. Extremely pleased with the service. I will absolutely use this service again.
Sara W.
The last storm that came through, knocked down part of our front lawn tree. We called Mark’s and he came over that day and took a look at the damage. His crew came back a few days later and not only trimmed the tree up, but cleaned up our yard and blew off the driveway. After they left you couldn’t even tell we had damage. They did an awesome job! Thank you Mark!
