Local tree service in Saint Joseph & Kansas City since 2010. Professional tree removal, trimming & stump grinding. Senior discounts available.

Greg Bailey founded this business in 2010 to serve homeowners and businesses across Saint Joseph and the Kansas City area. We're not a national chain sending different crews each time. We're a local team that lives and works in the communities we serve. When you call us, you get people who know Missouri and Kansas weather, understand the trees that grow here, and take responsibility for the work we do. We built this company on repeat customers and referrals, not advertising. That means we have to do the job right every single time.
Tree work requires the right tools and training. We own professional-grade equipment including cranes, stump grinders, chippers, and safety gear. Our crew knows how to handle trees near power lines, structures, and tight spaces without causing damage. We've removed hundreds of trees safely over the past 15 years. Experience matters when a 60-foot oak is leaning toward your house or storm debris is blocking your driveway. We assess the situation, plan the work, and execute it safely. No shortcuts, no guesswork.
Our Team
Meet the Greg Bailey Tree Services Team:
Greg Bailey — Owner and Lead Arborist
Greg started this business in 2010 and handles every estimate personally. He assesses tree health, plans removals, and supervises complex jobs to make sure the work is done safely. You're working directly with the owner, not a salesperson.
From trimming to removal to stump grinding, we handle everything your trees need.

Proper trimming keeps your trees healthy and your property safe. We remove dead branches, shape overgrowth, and improve airflow through the canopy. This prevents disease, reduces storm damage risk, and keeps limbs away from roofs and power lines.

Some trees are too far gone to save. We remove hazardous trees quickly and safely, whether they're leaning over your house or already down from a storm. Our crew works efficiently to protect your property and clean up completely when we're done.

Stumps are ugly, take up space, and attract pests. We grind them below ground level so you can plant grass, add a garden bed, or just reclaim your yard. No leftover mess, no tripping hazards.

Clearing overgrown lots, fence lines, or wooded areas takes the right equipment and experience. We handle brush removal, small tree clearing, and site prep for construction or landscaping projects. Your property gets cleaned up without tearing up the ground.

After severe weather hits Saint Joseph or Kansas City, downed trees and broken limbs need immediate attention. We respond quickly to clear debris, remove dangerous trees, and restore access to your driveway or home. We work with insurance companies to document damage properly.

Discolored leaves, dead branches, or pest damage mean your tree needs help. We assess tree health, identify diseases or infestations, and recommend treatment or removal. Catching problems early saves you money and keeps nearby trees safe.

Homeowners in Saint Joseph and surrounding areas need regular tree maintenance to prevent problems before they start. We provide seasonal trimming, pruning, and health checks to keep your trees looking good and growing strong. Regular care means fewer emergencies and lower long-term costs.

Commercial properties require consistent tree care to maintain curb appeal and safety. We work with business owners, property managers, and HOAs across Kansas City and Platte City to keep parking lots clear, landscapes maintained, and liability risks minimized. Scheduled maintenance keeps your property professional.

Trees with split trunks, weak limbs, or structural damage can be saved with proper cabling and bracing. We install support systems that stabilize compromised trees and prevent further splitting or failure. This extends the life of valuable trees while protecting your property from falling branches.

Free Estimate and Assessment
Call us or fill out our contact form. Greg comes to your property, looks at the trees, and gives you a clear estimate. We explain what needs to be done, why it matters, and how long it will take. No pressure, no upselling services you don't need. You get a price upfront before we touch a single branch. If you have questions about tree health, removal options, or timing, we answer them on the spot.
Safe and Efficient Tree Work
We show up on schedule with the right equipment and crew. Our team removes trees, grinds stumps, or clears land while protecting your property. We use drop zones, rigging systems, and safety protocols to prevent damage to roofs, fences, and landscaping. If we're working near power lines, we coordinate with utility companies. The job gets done correctly without surprises or delays.
Complete Cleanup and Haul-Away
When the work is finished, we clean up every branch, log, and wood chip. We haul away all debris unless you want to keep firewood or mulch. Your yard looks better than when we arrived. We don't leave piles of brush or sawdust scattered around. You get a clean property and a completed job, not a mess to deal with after we leave.

Tree removal costs depend on size, location, and accessibility. Small trees near open areas cost less than large trees close to structures or power lines. We give free estimates after seeing the tree in person so you know the exact price before we start.
