Service 01

Tree Removal

Our certified climbers and bucket-truck crew handle everything from compromised storm-damaged limbs to full-canopy removals over homes, fences, and power lines. We rig piece-by-piece, protect surrounding landscaping, and haul away every log and chip — leaving your yard cleaner than we found it.

A leaning, dead, or storm-damaged tree is a liability — to your home, your neighbors, and the people walking under it. Removing it the right way protects everything around it.

What's included

  • Emergency & storm-damage response
  • Crane-assisted removals on tight lots
  • Full debris haul-off & site cleanup
  • Lot clearing for new construction

Our process

  1. 1Free on-site assessment & risk inspection
  2. 2Rigging plan, permits, and utility coordination
  3. 3Sectional takedown with ground crew & cleanup

Trimming & Pruning

Proper pruning extends a tree's lifespan, improves structure, and reduces storm risk. We follow ANSI A300 standards — thinning the canopy for airflow, raising clearance over roofs and driveways, and shaping young trees so they grow strong from the start.

Pruning is preventive maintenance. The right cuts at the right time can add 20+ years to a mature tree and prevent the limb failures that wreck roofs and cars.

What's included

  • Crown thinning, raising & reduction
  • Deadwood & hazard limb removal
  • Structural pruning for young trees
  • Fruit & ornamental tree care

Our process

  1. 1Canopy assessment & ANSI A300 pruning plan
  2. 2Climber + bucket-truck pruning by species
  3. 3Full chip & cleanup, optional return schedule

Stump grinding service removing a tree stump in a St. Louis yard

Service 03

Stump Grinding

Once a tree is down, the stump shouldn't stop you from using your yard. We grind 6–12 inches below grade, backfill with the resulting mulch (or haul it away), and leave a clean, level surface ready for sod, a garden bed, or a patio.

Old stumps invite termites, sprout suckers, and ruin mowing lines. Grinding them out reclaims usable yard space and prevents pest issues from spreading.

What's included

  • Grinding 6–12" below grade
  • Surface root removal
  • Backfill or full haul-off
  • Access through 36" gates

Our process

  1. 1Locate utilities & protect surrounding turf
  2. 2Grind 6–12" below grade, including surface roots
  3. 3Backfill with mulch or full haul-off

Lawn Maintenance

Weekly or bi-weekly visits keep your turf at its healthiest cutting height, with crisp edges along walks and beds. We sharpen blades daily, alternate mowing patterns to prevent ruts, and bag or mulch clippings based on what's best for your lawn that week.

Consistent mowing height, sharp blades, and rotated patterns are what separate a manicured lawn from a mowed one. The details add up week after week.

What's included

  • Weekly or bi-weekly schedules
  • String-trimmed edges & walkways
  • Blower cleanup of hard surfaces
  • Seasonal aeration & overseeding

Our process

  1. 1Custom schedule based on grass type & growth
  2. 2Mow, edge, line-trim, and blower cleanup
  3. 3Seasonal aeration, overseeding & fertilization

Mulching

Fresh mulch is the fastest way to lift the look of any property — and it protects roots, locks in moisture, and suppresses weeds. We edge beds clean, weed thoroughly, then install hardwood, dyed, or natural mulch at the proper depth.

Fresh mulch is the single highest-impact thing you can do for curb appeal in a weekend — and it protects roots, locks in moisture, and suppresses weeds for the season.

What's included

  • Hardwood, dyed black/brown, cedar
  • Bed edging & weed pull included
  • 2–3" depth installed evenly
  • Per-yard or full-property pricing

Hedge Trimming

Whether you want sharp formal hedges or a softer natural shape, we trim to encourage dense, healthy growth. We time cuts by species, clean up every clipping, and can set you up on a recurring schedule so your hedges always look intentional.

Overgrown hedges block windows, shade out plantings, and look unintentional. Properly timed cuts keep them dense, healthy, and the size you actually want.

What's included

  • Formal & natural shaping
  • Boxwood, holly, arborvitae & more
  • Rejuvenation pruning for overgrowth
  • All clippings hauled away

Our process

  1. 1Species-specific timing & shape consultation
  2. 2Hand & power shears for clean, even lines
  3. 3All clippings hauled away — nothing left behind
