Every Tree Service You Need, From One Local Company
Safe, Reliable Tree Removal
Need a tree gone in Leawood? We handle removals of every size, from a dead ash in a tight Old Leawood backyard to a storm-damaged giant hanging over the house. We protect your lawn, your fence, and your neighbor’s yard, clean up every branch, and leave the place better than we found it. You get a fair price up front and a crew that does it right.
In Leawood’s older, established neighborhoods, a lot of the big trees are now at the age where limbs start failing and removals get tricky: tight backyards, trees close to the house, branches over the power lines. In the newer subdivisions the problem is usually construction damage, where builders compact the soil and grade over the roots and the tree slowly declines a few years later. Either way, we start with a real look at the tree: the lean, the root base, what is overhead, and how we get our equipment in. On most Leawood lots we section the tree down piece by piece with a bucket truck, controlling every cut to protect your roof, fence, and landscaping. Then we clean up completely, branches chipped, trunk hauled or left for firewood, and the yard raked. If you want the stump gone too, we bundle it at a discount. Call for a free estimate.
Professional Tree Trimming & Pruning
Regular trimming keeps your trees healthy and storm-ready. Our ISA-certified arborists thin the canopy so high winds blow through instead of catching it, lift limbs off your roof, and make the cuts that keep weak branches from tearing loose in the next ice storm. You get a straight answer on exactly what each tree needs.
If you have young trees, the best time to start trimming is now. A little structural pruning in the first few years sets up a strong, safe tree for the rest of its life, and it is far cheaper than correcting a big tree later. On mature Leawood trees we shift to thinning the canopy and clearing out deadwood, a thinned canopy lets the wind pass through instead of catching it, which is the best protection you have against storm damage. The right timing depends on the tree: most big shade trees do best pruned in late winter while they are dormant, but anything hazardous gets handled right away, any time of year. For most mature trees we suggest a trim every 3 to 5 years. Call and we will walk your property and tell you exactly what each tree needs.
24/7 Emergency Tree Service
When a mature tree fails during a Leawood storm, the stakes are high, large trees on large homes mean major potential damage. Our 24/7 emergency crews respond with cranes and bucket trucks capable of handling Leawood’s biggest trees. Full insurance documentation provided with every emergency job.
For emergency tree service in Leawood, call 913-894-4767, we respond 24/7 across the Leawood area.
When severe weather hits Leawood, the potential for costly damage is significant. Large mature trees on high-value properties mean a single failure can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage to structures, landscaping, vehicles, and outdoor living spaces. Our emergency response is built for these high-stakes situations.
Leawood emergency calls get the same immediate triage as everywhere in our service area: trees on structures with collapse potential get first-response crews within the hour. Our equipment inventory includes cranes rated for the heavy lifting that Leawood’s large mature trees demand, trunk sections that weigh several tons need to be lifted off structures without causing additional damage.
Speed matters, but so does precision. A rushed emergency removal can cause more damage than the original tree failure. Our crews assess each situation, structural integrity of the building, position of the tree, potential for further movement, before making cuts. This methodical approach protects your property during the removal process.
We provide comprehensive documentation for every emergency: professional photos of all damage, written descriptions for your insurance carrier, and detailed invoices. Leawood homes typically carry high-value homeowner’s policies, and we make sure our documentation meets the standards those carriers expect. Call 913-894-4767 for emergency tree care.
Complete Stump Grinding & Removal
Once the tree is down, that stump should not be left to rot in your yard. We grind it well below grade, haul off the chips or leave them if you want them, and rake the spot clean so you can sod or replant. It is a fast, tidy finish that gets your Leawood yard looking right again.
Here is what happens to a stump if you leave it: it starts to rot, and rotting wood is the number one thing that draws subterranean termites and carpenter ants in the KC metro, right toward your foundation, deck, and fence. Stumps also send up sucker shoots for years and keep the root system active. We grind the stump 8 to 12 inches below grade with a commercial grinder, rake up the chips, backfill the hole, and leave the spot ready for sod, a garden bed, or hardscaping. A single stump usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. If you have several to clear, common in Leawood where the ash borer took out a few trees, we price them together so doing them all at once is the smart move.

From Tree Climber to Owner: Meet Zach Johnson
If you have a tree in Leawood you are worried about, you are in the right place. I am Zach Johnson. I started out climbing trees back in 1990, and I started this company in 2011 on one rule: honest tree work at a fair price. My crew and I handle the jobs other companies tip-toe around, from a tight backyard removal in Old Leawood to a storm-split tree leaning over Mission Road. We are owner-operated, I still bid most jobs myself, and you get a straight answer, not a sales pitch.

We've Already Seen It on Your Block
After this many years on Leawood trees, my crew and I have seen just about everything this metro does to a yard, from ice storms that split weak limbs to the ash trees the borer wiped out and the mess the 2024 derecho left on older streets near Tomahawk Creek. You do not need to know the science behind any of it. You need a crew that has already worked your block. We will walk your property, tell you straight what is healthy and what is a risk, and give you a fair price to fix it.
Leawood Neighborhoods We Serve
We work all over Leawood. Up north we handle the big mature canopy in Old Leawood and the streets off Mission Road and State Line between 79th and 95th. Through the middle we take care of yards around Leawood Estates, Corinth Downs, Villaggio, and the 119th and 127th Street corridors. Out south and west we work Hallbrook, Ironwoods, Tuscany Reserve, and the newer high-end homes near 135th and Nall Avenue. One thing to know before you cut: trees in public rights-of-way always need city coordination, and many Leawood HOAs require approval before you remove a tree over a certain size, so check your neighborhood rules first. If you are not sure, we will help you sort it out. We also keep local pages for Old Leawood and Hallbrook.
Every Tree Service You Need, From One Local Company
Here is how I work. I would rather keep your trees standing and healthy than wait for one to fail, so most of what we do starts with an honest look at your property and a plan to head off trouble. A lot of the storm damage we clean up could have been prevented with the right trimming, so we thin canopies so high wind passes through instead of catching the crown, and we make the structural cuts that keep weak limbs from splitting in ice and wind. When a tree truly has to come down on a tight, high-value lot, we rope it out piece by piece so nothing touches your roof or hardscape, then grind the stump below grade and haul off the debris. We are owner-operated, licensed, and insured, we respond around the clock when a storm hits, and I still bid most jobs myself, so you are talking to the person who stands behind the work.
