About Boughton's Tree Services

Burlington doesn't sit flat, the town climbs in bluffs above the Mississippi, and the streets ringing Crapo Park feel that climb before anywhere else in town. Boughton's trucks take those grades first, working the blade down the switchbacks while the river is still holding its morning fog. A hillside driveway here asks more of a plow than level ground ever will, and the crew treats every one of them that way, scraping to bare pavement and salting the steep spots twice. By the time commuters start down toward the bridge into Illinois, the bluff-top streets are already clear behind them. It's a routine built for a river town that never quite sits still, tuned to the slope instead of fighting it.
