Keri R.April 2026

Josh and the entire crew did a fantastic job. Very friendly, professional and efficient. They made quick work of a fairly large job. They cleaned up all debris perfectly - there is not a single stick out there after they were done! I would highly recommend.

Response from the owner

Appreciate it, Keri. Glad Josh and the crew made quick work of that big job and left no sticks behind. Happy to help anytime.

Kimberly M.April 2026

Excellent work and great eye for shaping and trimming. Left our yard tidier than they found it. Thank you!

Response from the owner

Thanks Kimberly. Glad the shaping and trimming hit the mark. Left the yard tidier for you.

Tree Work We Do Around Prairie Village

Tree Removal in Prairie Village

Prairie Village has some of the biggest trees in Johnson County on small lots, so most removals are done in sections. We lower each piece by rope or lift it out with the crane, keep it off the roof and the neighbor’s fence, and haul all the wood away.

Tree Trimming & Pruning in Prairie Village

Tree trimming is the main thing those big Prairie Village canopies need. A structural trim every few years and pulling the dead wood out keeps a large tree safe over your roof. We also raise limbs off the street and the driveway.

The Tree Problems We See Most

Big old trees on small lots are what make Prairie Village beautiful, and they are also where the risk is: heavy limbs over roofs, dead ash trees from the borer, and pin oaks thinning out in our alkaline soil. We tell you what is healthy and what is a risk.

Prairie Village Neighborhoods We Serve

We work all of Prairie Village, from the original shops and the older blocks near 75th Street to the mature neighborhoods around Corinth, Corinth Hills, Meadowbrook, and Prairie Fields. After years on these streets I know how the trees change block to block, the biggest canopies between 71st and 75th near Mission Road and Roe, the big lots out by the Homestead Country Club, and the streets along the Indian Creek corridor from Somerset to Roe Boulevard. We handle removals, trimming, and storm cleanup off Mission Road, Nall Avenue, and Tomahawk Road too. PV does not require a permit to remove a tree on your own property, but the city manages its right-of-way trees, so anything near the street we check first.

What Sets Our Crew Apart

We would rather keep a big Prairie Village tree with good pruning than take it down. When one does have to go, we plan it piece by piece around the house and the neighbors.

Your Tree Care Questions, Answered

What does tree removal cost in Prairie Village?

Most removals run between $400 and $3,800. It comes down to the size of the tree and how tight the spot is.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Prairie Village?

Not for a tree on your own property. PV does not require a permit for that.

How do I take care of the big old trees in my yard?

The main thing is do not wait until something fails. A structural trim every couple of years and pulling the deadwood out keeps a big tree safe over your roof.
