What kind of trees are common around Edwardsville, IL?

I'm working on a rendering of a new building in Edwardsville, IL and need to know what kind of trees and possibly other plant life(i.e. shrubs) to populate the landscape with.

Should you know the answer for any of the surrounding areas, St Louis, I'd welcome that also.

It has the usual suspects of temperate North America, oak, ash, elm, etc. The high school project cited below appears to have the information that you want.
If you are looking for something deeper try the book for sale at the second source.
But perhaps you could just look around. Try Google maps streetview feature, you can see the trees in the area (third source).

Thank you for your response.

Perhaps I wasn't as clear as I should have been. I'm looking to find out what kind of trees are native to that area not landscapers.
