Every Tree Service You Need, From One Local Company
Safe, Reliable Tree Removal
Tree removal in Lee’s Summit is what we do best. Whether it is a dead tree hanging over your roof or a big one crowding the house, my crew and I get it down safe, in tight spaces and over fences. We bring the right gear, protect your yard, and clean up like we were never there. You get a fair price up front, no surprises.
In Lee’s Summit’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 Lee’s Summit 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 Lee’s Summit 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
Lee’s Summit’s eastern Jackson County location puts it in the direct path of storms sweeping across the metro. When trees fail during severe weather, our 24/7 emergency crews respond fast, clearing damage, stabilizing structures, and documenting everything for your insurance claim.
For emergency tree service in Lee’s Summit, call 913-894-4767, we respond 24/7 across the Lee’s Summit area.
Lee’s Summit’s position in eastern Jackson County puts it at the receiving end of storm systems that build across the KC metro. By the time severe weather reaches Lee’s Summit, it’s often at peak intensity, maximum wind speed, heaviest rain, largest hail. The city’s mix of mature trees and construction-weakened trees means storm damage can be severe and widespread.
Our emergency crews know Lee’s Summit well. We respond across the city, from the older neighborhoods near downtown to the newer subdivisions off 291 and Colbern Road. Triage follows our standard protocol: trees on structures and imminent collapse risks first, access blockages and leaning hazards next.
For Lee’s Summit’s larger properties and wooded lots, storm damage sometimes involves multiple tree failures on a single property. We handle these as comprehensive jobs, clearing all hazards, chipping all debris, and restoring full access in one mobilization rather than making you schedule multiple visits.
Every emergency includes complete insurance documentation. Lee’s Summit homeowners with storm damage should also check their policy for debris removal coverage, some policies cover the removal even when the tree misses the house if it blocks access. Call 913-894-4767 for emergency tree service Lee’s Summit.
Complete Stump Grinding & Removal
Once the tree is down, that stump should not be left behind. We grind stumps below grade so you can reclaim your Lee’s Summit yard for grass, a garden, or a new tree. We haul off the grindings, rake it smooth, and leave it ready to seed. It is a small step that makes the whole job feel finished.
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 Lee’s Summit 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 Lee’s Summit 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 Raintree Lake to a storm-split tree leaning over a street near Chipman 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 Lee’s Summit trees, my crew and I have seen just about everything this metro does to a yard, from ice storms that snap weak limbs to the ash trees the borer wiped out and the mess the 2024 derecho left on older streets all over town. You do not need to know the science behind any of it. You need a crew that has already worked your block and knows what to look for. 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.
Lee's Summit Neighborhoods We Serve
I work all of Lee’s Summit, and each area asks for something different. Down in the historic downtown around Third and Douglas, we take care of the big old trees crowded in next to homes and structures. Out by Lakewood and Raintree Lake south of I-470, and over near Longview Lake where yards back up to the woods, we clear storm damage and take down trees that have gotten dangerous. In the newer Chapel Ridge and Greenwood Hills builds east of Chipman Road, we get young trees established and clean up after the crews. For most home tree removal on your own property here, you do not need a city permit, though some neighborhoods like Lakewood, Raintree, and Summit Ridge have HOA rules to check first. We also keep local pages for Downtown Lee’s Summit and Lakewood.
Every Tree Service You Need, From One Local Company
Here is how my crew and I actually work, and what sets us apart from the company that just wants to drop your tree and run. We are owner-operated, I still bid most jobs myself, and we would rather save a good tree than sell you a removal you do not need. Most of the storm damage I clean up around town could have been headed off with the right pruning a season or two earlier, so we look at what is coming and tell you straight. When something does go wrong, a tree on your roof or a limb hanging over the driveway at 2 a.m., we show up around the clock with the trucks, the equipment, and the paperwork your insurance is going to want. Honest call, fair price, and we leave your yard clean.
