We handle tree removal, trimming, stump grinding, and land clearing in Platte City, MO. Been working here since 2010—same crew that serves Saint Joseph and Kansas City. We show up on time, do the job safe, and clean up everything before we leave.

Mid West Tree Service has been doing tree work in Platte City for fifteen years. We've removed storm-damaged trees near downtown, trimmed oaks in the neighborhoods off Highway 92, and cleared land for outbuildings all over the area. Most of our Platte City work comes from repeat customers or referrals. Last summer we cleared about half an acre off Platte Falls Road for someone putting in a pole barn—property had been sitting wild with thick brush and volunteer trees for years. Took us two days to cut it down, grind the stumps, and scrape it level. Left it ready for the construction crew. Platte City's close enough to Saint Joseph that we're there regularly. Greg or someone from the crew comes out for estimates. You get the same service whether you're in Platte City or anywhere else we work.
We've been handling trees since 2010. Here's what we do.

Your trees need a trim now and then. Keeps them healthy, keeps branches off your roof, and makes the yard look better. We come in, cut what needs cutting, and haul it all away. Works for oaks, maples, whatever you've got growing.

Sometimes a tree's gotta go. Storm damage, disease, or it's just too close to the house. We drop it safe, cut it up, and clear it out. You won't even know it was there except for the extra sunlight.
Left with a stump after a removal? We grind it down below ground level so you can replant grass or just forget it was ever there. Takes about an hour depending on size. No mess left behind.
Need a section of your property cleared for a shed, driveway, or garden? We'll take out the brush, small trees, and stumps. Level it off if you need that too. Good for getting land ready to use.
Tree came down in a storm? Blocking your driveway or sitting on your fence? We'll get there quick and clear it. Most of our storm calls happen same-day or next morning. You don't need to wait around with a tree on your property.

Got a pile of branches, brush, or yard junk? We load it up and haul it off. Good for after big projects or if the yard's gotten out of hand. Truck shows up, we load, we leave. Clean yard when we're done.
We Come Out and Give You a Straight Quote
Call us and we'll schedule a time to look at your property—usually within a few days. We check what needs doing, figure out the best way to handle it, and give you a price on the spot. No waiting for an email or callback. If the job doesn't need doing yet, we'll tell you that and save you money.
We Do the Work Right Without Tearing Up Your Property
When we show up, we mark off the work area and bring in the equipment. If it's a removal, we section it down or drop it whole depending on what's around it. For land clearing, we cut, grind stumps, and scrape level if that's what you need. We're not rushing through it—we take the time to do it right and keep your property intact.
We Haul Everything Off and Leave It Clean
Once the work's done, we cut everything into pieces, load the truck, and take it to the dump. We rake up debris, clear your driveway, and make sure there's nothing left sitting around. Most jobs are cleaned up the same day. You get your tree handled or land cleared and your property back to normal.
