Every Tree Service You Need, From One Local Company
Safe, Reliable Tree Removal
When a tree in Shawnee has to come out, my crew and I get it down safe, whether it is a dead one leaning toward the house or a storm-split trunk over your driveway. We work clean, protect what is around it, and haul off every piece. You get a fair price up front and no surprises.
In Shawnee’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 Shawnee 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 Shawnee 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
Shawnee’s dense tree cover means big damage when severe weather hits. Our emergency crews work around the clock, removing trees from roofs, clearing driveways, and making your property safe. We bring bucket trucks and cranes, and we handle your insurance documentation start to finish.
For emergency tree service in Shawnee, call 913-894-4767, we respond 24/7 across the Shawnee area.
Shawnee’s extensive tree canopy is a double-edged sword during severe weather. More trees mean more targets for wind, ice, and lightning, and more potential for damage to homes, vehicles, and infrastructure. When a major storm hits Shawnee, our phones light up and we run a triage operation to handle the most dangerous situations first.
Priority one: trees on occupied homes or structures where further collapse is possible. We mobilize within the hour for these calls. Priority two: trees blocking access or posing an imminent falling risk. These get handled as fast as possible, typically within a few hours even during major storm events.
Our storm crews arrive with everything needed for Shawnee’s big trees: bucket trucks with 75-foot reach, cranes for heavy trunk sections, commercial-grade saws, and industrial chippers. When power lines are involved, and they often are in Shawnee’s overhead-line neighborhoods, we coordinate with Evergy before making any cuts.
We photograph and document every emergency job for your insurance claim. Most KC-area homeowner’s policies cover tree removal when the tree hits a structure, the key is having proper documentation that matches what adjusters need. Call 913-894-4767 for emergency tree care. We pick up the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Complete Stump Grinding & Removal
After a removal we can grind the stump out too, so you are not left with a trip hazard or something sprouting back. We grind it well below grade, rake out the chips, and leave your Shawnee yard flat and clean enough to seed grass or plant over.
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 Shawnee 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 Shawnee 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 Nieman Road to a storm-split tree hanging over Johnson Drive. 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 Shawnee 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 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.
Shawnee Neighborhoods We Serve
No two parts of Shawnee are the same. In Old Shawnee and the downtown core near Nieman Road and Johnson Drive, we work mature yards with big trees close to the house, so we take our time and rope things down piece by piece. Out toward Monticello, K-7, and Midland Drive, the lots are newer and more open, and we can usually get equipment in and finish fast. Along the Mill Creek and Turkey Creek corridors and out by Shawnee Mission Park, we handle a lot of storm cleanup and limbs over fences. Shawnee does not require a permit for residential tree removal, but the city does want clearance kept over streets and sidewalks, and some subdivision HOAs have their own rules, so we check before we start. We also keep local pages for Old Shawnee and Monticello.
We'd Rather Save Your Tree Than Sell You a Removal
We would rather keep your tree standing than talk you into taking it out. We are family owned, and when you call you get a real person, usually me. Most of the storm damage we clean up here could have been prevented with the right trimming, so that is where we start when we can, thinning canopies so high wind passes through and lifting limbs off your roof and driveway. When a tree truly has to come out, we rope it down safe near your house, fences, and power lines and haul off every piece. We are licensed, bonded, and insured, we run our own bucket trucks and cranes, and we answer the phone around the clock when a storm drops a tree on your house.
