Belton Tree Services, Start to Finish
Tree Removal in Belton
In Old Town Belton around Main Street, the biggest trees sit close to the house, so tree removal is done in sections and lowered by rope. Out in rural south and west Belton we clear hedgerows and open up land with the grapple truck.
Tree Trimming & Pruning in Belton
Tree trimming in Belton covers everyday work in Belton Gardens and Belton Heights and shaping young trees in the newer Southtowne lots near I-49. We clear dead wood, lift limbs off roofs and thin heavy crowns before storm season.
Emergency Tree Service in Belton
When a storm comes through Cass County and drops a tree on a Belton home, our emergency tree service answers 24/7 and gets a crew on the way.
Stump Grinding in Belton
Stump grinding takes the stump 8 to 12 inches below grade, close to the house or out in the field. We clean up the grindings when we are done.
Here's What You Can Count On
- Removal, trimming and stump work
- Homes, HOAs and businesses
- Safety-first work around homes and lines
- Honest advice and fair prices
A Look at Our Tree Work
What Ice Storms and Ash Borer Leave Behind
Ice storms and the emerald ash borer have hit Belton yards like the rest of the metro, and the open land around town takes a lot of wind. We tell you straight what is healthy and what is a risk.
Belton Neighborhoods We Serve
We work all over Belton. Down in Old Town Belton and around Main Street and Pacific Avenue, the city's oldest and biggest trees need careful removals, large-tree trimming, and stump grinding close to the house. Over in Belton Gardens and Belton Heights near Y Highway, we handle the everyday trimming and storm cleanup. The Southtowne stretch south of 155th Street near I-49 has newer homes and lots where we clear and shape young trees, and out in rural south and west Belton we clear hedgerows and open up land.
What Sets Our Crew Apart
Prevention first. Most of the storm damage we clean up in Belton could have been stopped with the right trimming a season or two earlier, so we would rather make the right cuts now than rope a split tree off your roof later.
What You Get With Our Crew
Licensed & Insured
Fully insured on every job, with a certificate for your HOA or property manager on request.
Over 35 Years of Experience
Over 35 years in the trade, since 1990, and with this company since 1996. We have cleaned up after every big storm since.
Tree Care Specialists
We look at every tree on the lot, not only the one you called about, and tell you what can wait.
24-Hour Emergency Services
Storm calls answered 24/7 at 913-894-4767. Trees on houses come first.
Climbers Who Know Trees
Zach started as a climber. Our crews still climb, and they cut for how the tree will grow back.
Family Owned & Operated
Owner-operated. Zach still bids most jobs himself.

Your Tree Care Questions, Answered
How much does tree removal cost in Belton, MO?
Most tree removals in Belton run between $300 and $3,000. A small tree is usually $300 to $700, a mid-size shade tree runs $700 to $1,500, and a big one close to the house is $1,500 to $3,000.
Does Belton require permits to remove trees?
For a tree on your own residential property in Belton, no permit is needed. Belton is in Cass County, and the city does not require one to remove a tree on private land.
How do I know if a tree is a risk to my house?
If a tree leans toward the house, has a big dead limb hanging over the roof, splits into two trunks with a tight seam, or drops bark and bare branches at the top, those are the ones I worry about. Storms find the weak trees first.
