Who We Are
A Team Committed to Excellence
Local tree service in Saint Joseph & Kansas City since 2010. Professional tree removal, trimming & stump grinding. Senior discounts available.
Started in Saint Joseph
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.
Experience and Equipment
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 Services in Missouri
Complete Tree Services for Missouri and Kansas Properties
From trimming to removal to stump grinding, we handle everything your trees need.
Tree Trimming and Pruning Services
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.
Tree Removal and Emergency Tree Services
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.
Stump Grinding and Removal
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.
Land Clearing and Brush Removal Services
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.
Storm Damage Tree Cleanup and Restoration
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.
Tree Health Assessment and Disease Treatment
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.
Residential Tree Care and Maintenance
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 Tree Services and Property Management
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.
Tree Cabling and Bracing for Safety
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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
How much does tree removal cost in Saint Joseph and nearby ?
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.
Do you offer emergency tree removal services?
Yes. We handle emergency calls for storm damage, fallen trees, and dangerous limbs. If a tree is blocking your driveway, hanging over your roof, or creating a safety hazard, we respond quickly to remove it and clear the debris.
Can you grind stumps below ground level?
Yes. We grind stumps several inches below the surface so you can plant grass, add landscaping, or build over the area. The grinding process removes the visible stump and major roots without tearing up your yard.
Do you work in Kansas City or just Saint Joseph?
We serve Saint Joseph, Kansas City (Missouri side), Savannah, Weston, Platte City, and Parkville. Our crew travels throughout the area to handle tree trimming, removal, stump grinding, and land clearing for residential and commercial properties.
What's included in tree trimming service?
Tree trimming includes removing dead or overgrown branches, shaping the canopy, and clearing limbs away from structures and power lines. We clean up all debris and haul it away when we finish. Your trees stay healthy and your property stays safe.
Do you remove trees near power lines?
Yes, but we follow strict safety protocols. If the tree is touching live power lines, we coordinate with the utility company before starting work. We have the equipment and training to handle trees near electrical lines without causing outages or injuries.
How long does stump grinding take?
Most stumps take 30 minutes to an hour depending on size and root structure. Large stumps or stumps with extensive root systems take longer. We grind the stump, rake the area clean, and haul away the wood chips unless you want to keep them for mulch.
Do you offer senior discounts on tree services?
Yes. Seniors receive a discount on all our services including tree trimming, removal, and stump grinding. We also offer 10% off to return customers and referrals. Tree care shouldn't strain your budget, especially for those who maintain their properties year after year.
