Safe, Reliable Tree Removal

Need a tree gone in Mission? On these tight older lots, removal is about doing it cleanly and safely, with no damage to the house, the fence, or the neighbor. My crew rigs and lowers limbs where there is no room to drop them, hauls it all off, and leaves your yard clean. I will give you a straight price up front.

In Mission’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 Mission 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.

Tree trimming and pruning in Kansas City

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 Mission 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

Mission’s tight neighborhood grid means one fallen tree can block a street, hit multiple properties, and take out power lines all at once. Our 24/7 emergency crews know how to work in close quarters, clearing damage quickly and safely. Insurance documentation provided with every emergency call.

For emergency tree service in Mission, call 913-894-4767, we respond 24/7 across the Mission area.

Emergency tree situations in Mission are high-intensity events because of the tight spacing. A single tree failure can simultaneously damage a house, block a street, take out a power line, and threaten the neighboring property. Our crews are experienced in exactly these scenarios, working fast but carefully in the close quarters that define Mission’s residential grid.

When you call our emergency line, we triage immediately. If the tree is on your roof or there’s ongoing collapse risk, we deploy within the hour. If the tree is blocking access or threatening further damage but no one is in immediate danger, we get there as fast as critical calls allow, typically within a few hours.

Our Mission emergency response often involves street-side work, which means coordinating with city services and managing traffic flow while we remove the hazard. We bring compact equipment configurations when full-size trucks can’t navigate Mission’s narrow streets and tight driveways.

Every emergency job gets fully documented: damage photos, written descriptions, and itemized invoices for your insurance claim. In Mission, where trees often span property lines, we document damage to all affected properties to help everyone involved file accurate claims. Call 913-894-4767 for emergency tree care any time of day or night.

Stump grinding service by Kansas City Tree Care
Tree removal service in Kansas City

Complete Stump Grinding & Removal

Once a tree is down in Mission, that leftover stump is in the way and tough on a mower. We grind it well below grade, clean up the chips, and leave you a spot you can sod over or plant. On the smaller Mission yards, that means you get your usable space back fast.

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 Mission 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 Mission 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 off Johnson Drive to a storm-split tree leaning over Nall Avenue. We are owner-operated, I still bid most jobs myself, and you get a straight answer, not a sales pitch.

Mission’s compact residential grid makes every tree removal a technical challenge. Our gallery shows how our arborist team sections large trees down safely when homes sit just 20 feet apart. You’ll see precision tree cutting that protected neighboring properties, tree pruning that brought overgrown canopies back under control, and emergency tree service responses on Mission’s tight streets.

Our stump grinding results demonstrate how removing even one stump on a Mission lot reclaims meaningful outdoor space. Tree trimming projects throughout the neighborhood show the difference professional care makes. Call 913-894-4767 for a free tree service estimate.

We've Already Seen It on Your Block

After this many years on Mission 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 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 the tight, mature lots around here. 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.

Mission Neighborhoods We Serve

We work all over Mission, from the older homes near Johnson Drive and Martway to the Rushton area between 51st and 55th near Lamar and Nall. Over in East Mission near Metcalf and 61st, we clear limbs over the commercial corridor. Along the Rock Creek corridor on the west side we handle storm-damaged and leaning trees, and down in Broadmoor south of Johnson Drive we take down hazard trees crowding these compact lots. Mission does not require a permit for residential tree removal, but trees in the public right-of-way, like the street trees between the sidewalk and curb, need to be coordinated through the city Public Works department, and we will handle that for you.

Every Tree Service You Need, From One Local Company

Here is how we actually work, and what sets us apart on lots like yours. We do not just cut, we try to prevent. Most of the storm damage we clean up in Mission could have been avoided with the right pruning a year or two earlier, so when I bid your job I am thinking about what keeps your tree standing through the next ice storm, not just what looks tidy today. We will tell you straight when a tree can be saved with a good trim and when it has become a hazard that needs to come down. We rope and lower the big stuff carefully near roofs, fences, and power lines, grind the stumps below grade, and we are on call around the clock when a tree comes down. Owner-operated means I stand behind every job, and you get honest tree work at a fair price, not a sales pitch.

Your Tree Care Questions, Answered

Most removals run between $350 and $3,000. On Mission's smaller lots, a lot of trees sit tight to the house, the fence, or the power lines, so we have to rope and lower the limbs instead of dropping them, and that careful work is what moves the price. Bigger trees that need a crane run toward the high end. I will give you a straight, all-in price up front, and cleanup is always included. The only way to know your number is to let me come look at the tree.
For a tree on your own residential property, Mission does not require a permit. The one thing to know is that street trees in the public right-of-way, the strip between the sidewalk and the curb, have to be coordinated through the city Public Works department. If your tree falls under that, we will handle the city side of it for you so you do not have to chase it down.
In Kansas, you are allowed to trim the branches that hang over onto your side, up to the property line, but you cannot go onto their property or kill the tree doing it. On these tight Mission lots that overhang is right over a roof or a fence, so it is worth having us make the cuts clean and safe. If your neighbor's tree looks dead or dangerous, tell them in writing and keep a copy. If it later falls and damages your property, that written notice matters for their insurance.
Yes. We run 24/7 emergency service and can usually be on site in 1 to 3 hours for the urgent stuff. On these compact Mission streets a fallen tree blocks the road and can hit more than one house, so we get to trees on a roof, on power lines, or across the street first. For storm cleanup that is not an emergency we usually schedule within a day or two. If a tree is down or leaning over your house right now, call us.
All of it, from Nall Avenue over to Lamar and from Johnson Drive down to 67th Street. That covers the Rushton area, East Mission, Broadmoor, the Rock Creek corridor, and every side street in between Shawnee Mission Parkway and Martway. We also do commercial tree work for the businesses along Johnson Drive.
For most trees, winter is the easiest time. The leaves are off, so we can see the structure and make clean cuts, and the tree handles it well before spring growth. That said, if a limb is dead, broken, or hanging over your roof, do not wait for a season, that one comes off now. When I look at your trees I will tell you what needs doing today and what can wait.

The clearest signs are a lean that is getting worse, big dead limbs or a dead top, mushrooms or soft spots at the base, and roots that are lifting or cracked. After a storm, any tree with a split trunk or a hanging limb needs a look right away. If you are not sure, call me out, I will tell you straight whether it can be saved or it is safer to take it down. No scare tactics.

A few things to watch for: big dead branches up in the canopy, mushrooms growing on the trunk or at the base, a noticeable lean that got worse, cracks or splits in the trunk, or roots lifting out of the ground. After a storm, look for broken limbs hung up in the tree. If you see any of that, get it looked at. We will come out and tell you straight whether it is fine, whether it needs a trim, or whether it needs to come down before the next storm.
