Riverbend Tree Service in Alton, Illinois
Riverbend customers may notice the orange trucks with the Piasa Bird logos now at Elm and Alby in Alton, Illinois. This is because Riverbend Tree Service now has a launch area to send out its crews. This area is at the former Steve’s Service.
Riverbend Tree Service plans to expand to other community launch sites in the future as the demand for its affordable quality tree service grows. A possibility in the future could be to expand another site in the Edwardsville/Glen Carbon area, where Riverbend Tree Service continues to gain momentum.
“Riverbend Tree Service continues to grow both in the Riverbend and the Edwardsville areas, prompting us to build our fleet of vehicles and locate where our customers need us the most,” said Aaron Hodge, owner of Riverbend Tree Service.
Riverbend Tree Service has been expanding quickly without a lot of high-volume advertising and marketing dollars and has been tracking most of its growth through return customers, word-of-mouth referrals and Google ratings.
“We are proud to be the area’s tree management company of choice,” said Hodge.
Riverbend Tree Service Comes to the Aid of the Alton Police
As featured in The Telegraph and The Riverbender
Back in the day, cats getting stuck in trees and fire departments coming to the rescue used to be commonplace. There is a new technology twist to this story that doesn’t involve cats, and this time it’s the local responders who need assistance. Earlier this month, the Alton Police Department tactical drone got stuck up in a tree.
“The Alton Police Department called me first out of all the other tree services… they called early and we hurried to their rescue,” said Aaron Hodge, owner of Riverbend Tree Service.
Riverbend Tree Service provided this rescue as a complimentary service to the city and giving back to the community.
In a letter from Alton Chief of Police Jarrett Ford, Jarrett wrote “Your service went above and beyond to retrieve the drone. We appreciate you and your community partnership”.
Hodge believes that the Alton Police Department called Riverbend Tree because of his longstanding contract in managing the trees throughout the Alton City Cemetery.
According to the review left on Riverbend Tree Service Google Business page, Joel Bromaghim of the Alton Police Department wrote, “They responded immediately to help us out… and not only quickly recovered an expensive piece of equipment for us, but also donated their time and services”.
Hodge enjoys doing things for the Riverbend community, and even named his business after it. Riverbend Tree Service is often confused with another service that goes by a similar name that started later.
“You’ll know it’s us by the Piasa Bird logo and doing our best work at a price you can afford… we always appreciate FIVE Star reviews like these on Google and will continue to keep our high standards”, said Hodge.
