Moro's Trusted Tree Service: Owner On-Site, Every Time

Moro sits in a quiet stretch of Madison County where mature oaks, silver maples, and cottonwoods have been growing alongside rural properties and farmsteads for generations. That’s a beautiful thing — until a tree starts leaning toward a fence line off of Route 140, or a storm drops a Bradford pear across a gravel driveway along Route 159. When that happens, Moro homeowners need someone who shows up fast, knows what they’re doing, and leaves the property looking like nothing happened.
That’s exactly what Arbor Junkies delivers. We’re a locally operated tree service based right here in Moro, covering the village and the surrounding Metro East communities. Every single job has owner Eric Thornsberry on-site. With 18 years of professional climbing experience, Eric doesn’t manage from an office. He’s in the tree, on the lift, and walking the property with you before a single cut is made.

Why Moro Trees Are a Unique Challenge

Not every tree service company understands what makes Moro properties different from a suburb closer to the city. Here’s what shapes the work here:
  • Rural residential and agricultural lots throughout Moro often have trees that have been growing unchecked for decades, with sprawling canopies extending over outbuildings, fence lines, and long driveways that see heavy use.
  • Proximity to open farmland and windbreaks means many properties have rows of mature trees planted specifically to block wind, and when those trees die or get storm-damaged, they need to come down in tight, controlled sections — not just toppled.
  • The Metro East weather corridor sends severe thunderstorms through Madison County regularly, especially in spring and early summer. Cottonwoods, willows, and silver maples common to this area grow fast and drop large limbs aggressively when those storms hit.
  • Older homesites along Route 159 and the surrounding county roads often have massive shade trees that were planted when the properties were first developed, meaning they’re now enormous, deeply rooted, and require the right equipment and experience to remove without damaging surrounding structures or underground utilities.
Knowing this landscape matters. A crew that usually works new suburban subdivisions may not be equipped for what Moro and rural Madison County actually present.

Our Tree Services in Moro

Tree Removal

Whether it’s a single dying ash tree behind a farmhouse off of Route 140 or a full line of diseased elms along a rural property on the edge of town, Arbor Junkies handles removals of any size. We own and operate spider lifts, bucket trucks, and forklifts, which means we’re not turning down jobs because of access issues. We bring the right equipment to your specific property — not just whatever fits in a trailer.

Tree Trimming and Pruning

Regular trimming keeps Moro’s mature trees healthy and reduces the risk of storm damage to homes, outbuildings, and fences. We shape canopies, clear deadwood, and make elevation cuts that improve light and air circulation. This is especially valuable for rural homeowners with large trees that hang over rooflines, fence lines, power lines, or equipment storage areas.

Stump Grinding

After a removal, a stump left in the ground is an eyesore, a trip hazard, and an obstacle for mowing. We grind stumps down below grade so the area can be reclaimed for lawn, landscaping, or new planting. We don’t just grind it and go — the debris gets cleaned up before we leave.

Emergency Storm Response

Arbor Junkies operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for storm emergencies. When severe weather rolls through the Metro East and hits Moro, fallen trees don’t wait until Monday morning. A tree on a roof or blocking a rural driveway at midnight needs a same-night response, not a voicemail and a callback window. Our Speed Guaranteed promise means you get a real response, not a queue number.

Excavation, Landscaping, and Dirt Work

This is where Arbor Junkies separates itself from most local tree companies. Once a tree is out, we can handle what comes next: grading, excavation, and ground prep for whatever you’re planning. You don’t need to call a separate contractor to get the lot ready. One crew, one point of contact, start to finish.

The Owner-On-Site Difference

Most larger tree service operations send a crew. You might speak with a sales rep or an estimator, but the person who gave you the quote is rarely the one doing the work. That gap between what was promised and what gets executed is where problems happen — damaged property, cleanup shortcuts, and work that doesn’t match what you were shown.
With Arbor Junkies, Eric Thornsberry is on every job personally. That’s not a marketing line. It’s how the business is structured. When you’re a Moro homeowner trusting someone to work 40 feet above your roof or near your outbuildings, that accountability matters. Eric’s 18 years as a certified climber means he’s not supervising the technical work from the ground. He’s doing it, or he’s right there when it happens.
This also means that if something needs to be adjusted mid-job, a branch comes down differently than expected or a root system is more complex than the estimate anticipated, the decision gets made by someone with nearly two decades of real field experience, not a crew member waiting for a phone call.

What Moro Customers Say

The feedback we hear most consistently from customers in Moro and across Madison County comes down to two things: the work itself and the cleanup after.
Customers describe arriving home to find their yard looking better than before the crew arrived. No sawdust piles left on patios, no wood chips scattered across driveways, no branches dragged to the edge of the property and left there. The cleanup is treated as part of the job, not an afterthought. For rural homeowners where the property’s appearance and functionality both matter, that attention to site restoration is something people notice and remember.

Fully Insured, No Exceptions

Tree work carries real risk. An uninsured crew working on your property in Moro means that if something goes wrong, a branch damages a structure or a climber is injured, that liability can fall on you as the property owner. Arbor Junkies carries full insurance on every job, and because the owner is always on-site, there’s no ambiguity about who is responsible for the work being done safely and correctly.
