Trees Close to Houses, Fences and Drives

When a Raymore tree has no room to fall, we do not fell it whole; we rope it down piece by piece instead.

That is "controlled rigging": the line from each cut section runs up through a point higher in the tree and back down to one of us on the ground, who lets the piece down slowly and steers it past the gutter, the fence boards or the neighbor's shed. Nothing gets dropped free over anything you would mind losing.

When a section is too heavy to lower, or the yard has no open ground at all, the trade's answer is a "crane-assisted removal", which lifts each piece up and over the house instead of lowering it beside it. You hear at the estimate how your tree will come down and why.

The Wood, the Brush and the Stump

Brush is chipped, the wood is hauled away or left for you as you ask, heavy machines stay off the lawn wherever they can, and the stump can be ground out afterward.

What is left to decide after the tree is down:

  • Chipped brush

    Limbs and leaves go through the chipper on site, so nothing is dragged across the yard in piles.

  • Logs and firewood

    The trunk is cut to rounds. Keep them for the fire pit or the woodpile, or tell us to take them.

  • Haul-off

    Whatever you do not keep leaves with us. We keep heavy machinery off lawns and beds where we can, so the soil is not packed down.

  • Stump grinding

    The stump can be ground below the grass after the removal, so you can seed or plant over the spot.

Homes, Rentals and Commercial Lots

Tree removal is not only a backyard job: the same sectional work takes down trees on Raymore rentals and commercial lots as well as residential yards.

A tree over a shop roof, a parking lot or a sign comes down the same way one over a garage does, in sections, roped down, with the site cleaned up after.

The commercial work we take is the list with our services on our home page. Call and tell us about the property, and we will say on the phone whether it is a job we take, then come out and quote it.

Other tree work we do

Most removals come with a second question about the trees that stay, the stump or the brush. One call covers all of it.
