Tree Removal, MIDWEST TREE SERVICES

Tree Removal in Saint Joseph & Kansas City Done Safe and Clean

We remove trees that are dead, damaged, or too close to your house. Been doing it around Saint Joseph and Kansas City since 2010. We drop them safe, cut them up, and haul everything off the same day.

Sometimes a tree's gotta go. Storm knocked it over, it's dead and dropping branches, or it's leaning toward your house and you can't sleep at night. We've been removing trees around Saint Joseph and Kansas City since 2010—everything from small Bradford pears in tight backyards to 80-foot oaks next to power lines. Last spring we pulled down a half-dead cottonwood in Parkville that was dropping limbs every time the wind picked up. Owner had been watching it lean closer to his garage for two years. We roped it down section by section, loaded three truckloads, and had it cleaned up by end of day. No damage to the garage, fence, or landscaping. Tree removal's not complicated, but it needs to be done right or you end up with a busted roof or a crushed car.

WHY HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE MIDWEST TREE SERVICES for Tree Removal

We've been doing tree removals since 2010 and haven't put a tree through someone's house yet. We rope down heavy sections, mark off the drop zone, and pay attention to what's around the tree. Fences, gardens, driveways—we work around them. Most of our removals are in tight spots where there's no room for mistakes.

Some crews drop the tree, cut it into rounds, and leave you with a pile of wood to deal with. We load every piece into the truck and haul it to the dump the same day. Trunk, branches, debris—it all goes. Your yard's clear when we leave, not sitting there with wood stacked against your fence for weeks.

Tree came down in a storm? Blocking your driveway or sitting on your roof? We prioritize emergency calls and usually get there same day or next morning. We've cleared trees off houses, driveways, and power lines all over Saint Joseph and Kansas City. When a tree's down, you need it gone now, not in three days.

We carry full liability insurance for property damage and worker injuries. Tree removal's dangerous work—if something goes wrong, you're covered. We're licensed in Missouri and Kansas, and we've been doing this fifteen years without a major claim. Most fly-by-night crews don't bother with insurance. We do.

Our Tree Removal Service Includes:

Complete Dead or Damaged Tree Removal

If your tree's dead, diseased, or structurally unsound, we take it down before it falls on its own. We assess the lean, check for rot, and figure out the safest way to drop it. Most removals we section down from the top—climb up, cut it in pieces, rope them down. Keeps everything controlled and away from your house. Works for trees that are totally dead or half-alive and dropping limbs.

Emergency Storm Damage Tree Removal

Tree came down overnight? Blocking your driveway, sitting on your fence, or leaning on your house? We handle storm calls fast—usually same day if you call in the morning. We've cleared trees after ice storms, wind events, and heavy snow all over the Kansas City and Saint Joseph area. We cut it up, haul it off, and get your property accessible again. Insurance companies usually want photos before we move it, so we can handle that too.

Hazardous Tree Removal Near Structures

Got a tree leaning toward your house or hanging over your garage? We remove trees in tight spots where there's no room to drop them whole. We climb up, section it down piece by piece, and rope each section to the ground. Takes longer but nothing falls where it shouldn't. Common around older homes where trees outgrew the space or got too close to additions and driveways.

Tree down? Branches scraping your roof? Stump in the way?

Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!

How much does it cost to remove a tree in Saint Joseph or Kansas City?

Small trees in open yards run $300–$600. Bigger trees near houses or power lines cost more—usually $800–$2,000 depending on height, lean, and what's around them. We give free estimates. Call and we'll come look at it and give you an actual number based on your tree.

Can you remove a tree that's leaning toward my house?

Yeah, we do it all the time. We don't drop leaning trees whole—we climb up and section them down piece by piece. Each piece gets roped and lowered to the ground so nothing falls on your house. Takes longer but your property stays safe. We've removed trees five feet from houses without a scratch.

Do you remove trees that came down in storms?

Yeah, storm damage is a big part of what we do. If a tree came down overnight, call us and we'll usually get there same day or next morning. We prioritize emergency calls where a tree's blocking something or creating a hazard. We've cleared trees off roofs, driveways, and fences all over the area.

What do you do with the tree after you remove it?

We cut it into pieces, load it in the truck, and haul it to the dump. Trunk, branches, everything goes. You won't have wood sitting in your yard unless you ask us to leave some for firewood. Most people just want it gone, so that's what we do.

How long does tree removal take?

Small tree in an open yard might take an hour or two. Bigger trees near structures usually take half a day. Really big oaks or trees in tight spots can take a full day depending on access and what's around them. We'll tell you how long it'll take when we quote the job.

Do you need a permit to remove a tree in Saint Joseph?

Depends on the size and where it's located. Most residential removals don't need a permit, but some neighborhoods have rules about removing healthy trees. We'll let you know if you need one when we look at your tree. If you do, we can point you in the right direction to get it.
