Midwest Trees
About Midwest Trees
Midwest Trees, LLC is a tree consulting and care business run by Andy Berg in Shiloh, Illinois. It serves St. Clair County. Andy has been in the industry for over 16 years. He holds an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist credential (IL-5361B), an ASCA Registered Consulting Arborist credential (#902), ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualified status, and pesticide licenses in both Illinois and Missouri. For landowners with woods, the work starts with a walk through the property to assess the trees, identify key species, both native and invasive, and give practical advice on long-term forest health. Tree and woodland inventories, management plans and woodland appraisals are part of the consulting side. A consulting job begins with a site visit and a talk about your goals, any limits on the land, and what you plan to use the information for. Written reports, maps and photo documentation can follow. The company also does tree planting, plant health care and small tree care. It does not do large tree removal or large tree pruning, and it does not take logs. Midwest Trees plans to stay small so it can focus on high quality and customer service. In its words, "Keeping trees around is my business." Consulting is provided independently, so the advice may or may not lead to any tree work. A good fit for a landowner who wants an independent look at their woods and a plan for keeping them healthy before deciding anything about a harvest. From midwest-trees.com, read 9 November 2026.
Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber AppraisalAn estimate of what your standing timber is worth in dollars, based on how much there is, its quality, and current prices. When you are selling, settling an estate, dividing property, or need a value for taxes or insurance.What does this mean? → — not listed
works out what your standing timber is worth
Timber Cruise & Volume EstimateA field measurement of your standing trees — their species, sizes, and quality — that adds up to how much wood you actually have. Before you sell, so you go in knowing roughly what is out there rather than taking a buyer's word for it.What does this mean? → — not listed
measures and grades what's actually out there
Timber Sale & Contract AdministrationRunning the sale for you: advertising the timber, taking bids, writing the contract, and overseeing the logging so the agreed terms are met. When you want someone on your side handling the whole sale rather than dealing with buyers and loggers yourself.What does this mean? → — not listed
runs the sale and handles the contract
This firm isn't credited with all three, which doesn't make it a worse forester — plenty specialise in management planning, wildlife or wetlands. It does mean that if your goal is to sell timber, you'd likely need someone else for the part that's missing.
