Tree Work We Do Around Liberty
Tree Removal Near Homes and Lines
Tree removal in Liberty is what we do most. Whether it is a dead tree leaning toward your house off Kansas Street or a big one too close to the lines, my crew brings the right gear and takes it down in pieces, safe and controlled.
Older trees are reaching the age where limbs fail, and new builds see trees decline after construction. We section them down and clean up completely.
Pruning That Keeps Trees Healthy
Our ISA-certified arborists thin the canopy so wind blows through, lift limbs off your roof, and remove weak branches before the next ice storm.
Young trees need structural pruning early; mature trees do best thinned every 3 to 5 years.
Emergency Tree Service
Liberty and Clay County get hit first when ice storms sweep in from the north. Our emergency crews serve Liberty 24/7, responding to trees on homes, blocked roads, and downed power line situations.
Liberty and Clay County take the brunt of northerly weather systems that other KC-area communities miss. Ice storms that leave south JoCo with a light glaze can coat Liberty trees with an inch or more of ice.
Stumps Ground Out
Once the tree is down, we can grind the stump out too so you are not left with a trip hazard or a sprouting mess in the middle of your Liberty yard. We grind below grade, clean up the chips, and leave the spot ready for grass, a flower bed, or whatever you want to put there.
We grind 8 to 12 inches below grade, backfill, and leave it ready for sod.
Here's What You Can Count On
- Trimming, pruning, removal and stump grinding
- Homes, HOAs and businesses
- Modern equipment, clean job sites
- Honest advice and fair prices
From Tree Climber to Owner: Meet Zach Johnson
If you have a tree in Liberty 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 near the Square to a storm-split tree hanging over a street off Highway 152. We are owner-operated, I still bid most jobs myself, and you get a straight answer, not a sales pitch.

Liberty Neighborhoods We Serve
We work every corner of Liberty. Around the historic Square and along Gallatin and Kansas streets, the big old trees sit right next to buildings from the 1800s, so we take our time and work careful instead of heavy-handed. The William Jewell College area has beautiful mature trees worth protecting. Down the Shoal Creek corridor and around Stocksdale Park we handle storm-beat and leaning trees, while the newer builds in north Liberty above Highway 152 and out by Liberty Hills, Rush Creek, and the Estates at Liberty usually need shaping before a storm gets them.
What Sets Our Crew Apart
Here is how we work and why folks in Liberty keep calling us back. We are owner-operated, so when you call, you are dealing with the people actually doing the job, not a salesman passing you off.
