We're MidWest Tree Service, and we've been handling tree removal, trimming, stump grinding, and storm cleanup in Saint Joseph since 2010. Greg started this business right here in town after getting tired of seeing tree work done halfway. We show up on time, do the job safe, and haul everything off before we leave.

Mid West Tree Service has been working in Saint Joseph for fifteen years. We've trimmed oaks in the Ashland neighborhood, removed storm-damaged trees near downtown, and ground stumps in yards all over the north side. Most of our calls come from people who've used us before or heard about us from a neighbor. Last winter we pulled a big cottonwood off someone's garage on Frederick Avenue after an ice storm—tree came down overnight, and we had it cleared by noon the next day. We're local, licensed, and insured. Greg lives here, the crew's from here, and we're not going anywhere. When you call, you get someone who knows Saint Joseph streets and actually answers the phone. That matters when a tree's sitting on your fence.
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 Price
Call us and we'll schedule a time to look at your tree—usually within a couple days. We check what needs doing, figure out how long it'll take, and give you a price on the spot. No waiting for an email quote or callback. If we think the job doesn't make sense or the tree doesn't need work yet, we'll tell you that too.
We Do the Work Safe Without Wrecking Your Property
When we show up, we mark off the work area and set up our equipment. If it's a removal, we either drop the tree whole or section it down piece by piece depending on what's around it. For trimming, we rope down the heavy branches so nothing crashes into your yard. We're not rushing—tree work done fast usually means something gets damaged.
We Haul Everything Off and Leave It Clean
Once the tree's down or trimmed, we cut it into pieces, load the truck, and take it all to the dump. We rake up the small stuff and clear your driveway before we leave. Most jobs are cleaned up the same day. You get your tree handled and your property back to normal without lifting a finger or dealing with piles of brush.
