Tree Trimming & Pruning in Saint Joseph That Actually Helps Your Trees

We trim and prune trees around Saint Joseph and Kansas City to keep them healthy and off your roof. Been doing it since 2010. We cut what needs cutting, rope down the big branches, and haul everything off when we're done.

Your trees need a trim every few years to stay healthy and keep branches from rubbing your house or hanging over the driveway. We've been trimming oaks, maples, and Bradford pears around Saint Joseph since 2010—everything from the older neighborhoods near downtown to the newer developments out by I-29. We don't just hack off limbs and leave. We prune properly so the tree heals right and grows back stronger. Last month we trimmed a big silver maple in the Ashland area that was scraping someone's roof every time the wind picked up. Took about three hours, roped down all the heavy stuff so it didn't wreck the flower beds, and hauled off two truckloads of branches. Tree looks better, house is safe, and the customer can sleep through a storm now.

WHY HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE MIDWEST TREE SERVICES for Tree Trimming & Pruning Services

Bad pruning kills trees. We cut at the right spots so the tree seals up and doesn't rot. Greg's been doing this fifteen years and knows where to make the cut based on what kind of tree it is. You won't see ragged tears or stubs left behind that invite disease.

Big branches can wreck a fence, crush a garden, or dent your car. We tie them off and lower them controlled so they land where we want. Takes longer but your property stays in one piece. We've trimmed trees six feet from houses without a scratch.

Some crews leave piles of brush in your yard and call it done. We load everything into the truck and haul it off the same day. You shouldn't have to spend your weekend cleaning up after us. When we leave, your driveway's clear and your lawn's raked.

Monday through Saturday, 7 AM to 7 PM. If you work during the week, we'll come on a Saturday. Most trimming jobs get scheduled within three to five days of your call. We show up when we say we will or we let you know ahead if something changes.

Our Tree Trimming & Pruning Services Service Includes:

Crown Thinning & Shaping

We thin out the canopy to let light and air through while keeping the tree's natural shape. Good for oaks and maples that get too dense and block your yard. We remove crossing branches, dead wood, and anything rubbing against itself. Helps the tree stay healthy and makes it less likely to drop limbs in a storm. Most jobs take two to four hours depending on size.

Clearance Pruning for Roofs & Power Lines

If branches are scraping your roof, hanging over your driveway, or getting too close to power lines, we cut them back to a safe distance. We prune at the right spot so the tree doesn't send up a mess of water sprouts next year. Common around older homes in Saint Joseph where trees have outgrown the space. Keeps your gutters clear and your roof shingles intact.

Deadwood Removal & Safety Pruning

Dead branches fall when you don't expect it—usually in a storm or when someone's standing under them. We climb up and cut out all the dead and dying wood before it becomes a problem. Also check for cracks, weak unions, and anything else that looks sketchy. This kind of pruning can save you from a bigger removal job down the road.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!

How much does tree trimming cost in Saint Joseph?

Depends on the size and how much needs cutting. Small tree trim might run $200–$400. Bigger trees like oaks or maples usually cost $500–$1,200 depending on height and access. We give free estimates, so call and we'll look at it and give you a real number.

What's the best time of year to trim trees around here?

Late fall or winter's best. Trees are dormant, easier to see the structure, and there's less cleanup without all the leaves. But we trim year-round if you need it done now. Spring and summer work fine, just costs a bit more because of the extra mess and the tree bleeds sap.

Will trimming hurt my tree or make it grow back weird?

Not if it's done right. We prune at the branch collar so the tree heals properly. Bad cuts leave stubs that rot or send up a bunch of ugly water sprouts. We've been doing this fifteen years—we know where to cut based on what kind of tree you've got.

Can you trim a tree that's close to my house or power lines?

Yeah, we do it all the time. For houses, we rope the branches down so nothing hits your siding or roof. For power lines, we trim around them carefully or let you know if the utility company needs to handle it. We've trimmed trees three feet from houses without any damage.

Do you haul off all the branches or leave them for me?

We haul everything off. Branches, twigs, leaves—it all goes in the truck and we take it to the dump. You won't have piles sitting in your yard. Some people ask us to leave a few logs if they want firewood, and we can do that. Otherwise, it's all gone when we leave.
