McCormick's Property Maintenance is the local tree service that takes down, trims and grinds out trees and clears brush for properties in town and the towns nearby.
Most calls start with one tree. A dead ash leaning toward the garage, a maple dropping limbs on the drive, a stump in the way of a new fence. We take trees down in sections where they stand close to a house, trim the ones that should stay, grind stumps below the lawn and clear brush and small trees off lots and acreage.
One free estimate covers the whole job, from the first cut to the last rake, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
Pick the job you need, and call for a free estimate on the whole thing.
Standing trees near houses, fences and drives are taken down in sections and the wood hauled away. Each piece is roped down with "controlled rigging" rather than dropped, so the roof, the fence and the flower bed under the tree are the same when we leave as when we arrived.

Deadwood, low limbs and branches over roofs and drives are cut back with pruning cuts that keep the tree healthy. We cut at the branch collar so the tree closes the wound, and we do not top trees.
More about tree trimming
Stumps are ground below the lawn so you can seed over the spot or plant again. When the roots have to come out too, for a fence post or a footing, digging the stump out is the other way to remove it.

A tree or limb down on a house, car or drive is made safe and cleared, after the power company has dealt with any lines. We take the weight off whatever is bearing on the roof first, and a broken "hanger" still caught in the canopy comes down before it falls on its own.
More about emergency tree service
A standing tree is looked over for decay, dead limbs and lean, and you get a plain answer: trim it, treat it or take it down. Soil heaving at the base of a leaning tree is the sign to call sooner rather than later.
More about arborist checks
Trees, brush and stumps are cleared off a lot or acreage so it can be built on, fenced or used. We take out what you point to and leave standing the trees you want to keep.
More about land clearing
Brush and small trees are ground into mulch where they stand, so the ground is left covered rather than bare and nothing has to be hauled off or burned.

The same services cover residential yards and commercial properties. A tree over a shop roof or a parking lot gets the same treatment as one over a garage: sections roped down, the ground protected, the site cleaned up. Call and tell us about the property, and we will say on the phone whether the job is one we take and come out to quote it.
Residential or commercial, the estimate is free and the whole job is quoted before we start.
Every job starts with a free estimate that quotes the whole job, and ends with the site cleaned up.
Tell us what you see and we will come take a look. The estimate is free and covers the whole job.
Open Monday to Saturday. Calls outside those hours go to voicemail and we return them the next working morning.
Peyton and his crew were amazing to work with. They removed a very large tree from my backyard that was near houses. They got it out safely and fast. Would definitely hire him again!!
Peyton responded to bid request very quickly and completed work as promised. I would use his services again and high recommend him for any tree service and stump removal.
Peyton and Nick are hard working individuals who get the job done right. Besides working for us I have seen many jobs they have been completed and everything is top notch. Would highly recommend their services!!!!!
We work to the pruning and tree-care guidance that MU Extension and the state conservation department publish, and both are worth reading before you pick up a saw.
The MU Extension guide to pruning and care of shade trees explains where to make a cut and why a topped tree is a weakened one. The Missouri Department of Conservation tree care pages cover choosing, planting and watering a backyard tree. After a storm, the MU Extension first-aid guide for storm-damaged trees says what to look at first, and the short answer is that anything near a power line is the utility's job before it is ours.
Between our visits, water a young tree deeply in a dry summer, keep mulch off the trunk, and call when you see a limb hanging or soil lifting at the base.
We serve the town itself and the communities within about 20 miles of it.
That footprint is our commitment. A job a little farther out is a question for the call, and we will give you a straight answer.
We also work in Belton, Peculiar, Riverview Estates, Lake Winnebago, Greenwood, Loch Lloyd, Pleasant Hill and Lake Annette.
Call and tell us what you have. We come out, look at it and quote the whole job for free.
