How We Care for Trees in Lee's Summit
Taking Problem Trees Down
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.
Tight backyards and lines overhead are where removals get tricky; we rope it down piece by piece.
Thinning and Shaping
Good pruning now prevents the split limbs we clean up after every big storm.
Thinning lets wind pass through the crown instead of catching it.
Storm Damage Help
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.
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.
Stump Grinding
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.
Stumps send up suckers for years. Grinding below grade ends that.
Here's What You Can Count On
- Every service from one local crew
- Careful inspections before any removal
- Modern equipment, clean job sites
- Honest advice and fair prices
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.

Ice Storms, Ash Borer, and Old Trees
Ice storms snap weak limbs and the ash borer has killed ash trees all over the metro. We help you get ahead of both.
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.
What Sets Our Crew Apart
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.

Your Tree Care Questions, Answered
Tree removal in Lee's Summit usually runs from about $300 for a small ornamental up to $3,500 for a big one near the house that needs careful rigging or a crane. Most jobs land somewhere in between.
For most home tree removal on your own property in Lee's Summit, you do not need a city permit. The one thing to check is your HOA, since neighborhoods like Lakewood, Raintree, and Summit Ridge can have their own rules about what comes down.
Around Lee's Summit, emerald ash borer is the big one. It has killed ash trees all over Jackson County, and a dead ash gets brittle and dangerous fast.
