1,000+ trees removed and trimmed across Overland Park and Johnson County
Tree Removal Overland Park provides tree removal, tree trimming and pruning, stump grinding, emergency storm cleanup, land clearing, and ash tree treatment for homeowners and businesses throughout Overland Park, KS. Our crews bring 20+ years of experience across the Kansas City area, and they are ISA certified, licensed, and insured.
Overland Park has a lot of big, mature trees. Oak, silver maple and ash are everywhere. Many are decades old, and some are on their way out. Some need regular care. Some need to come down. A tree turns into a hazard for a few reasons: disease like emerald ash borer, a Kansas ice storm, a stiff spring wind, or plain old age. Our team looks at every tree from the crown down to the root flare, then gives you a straight recommendation. No guessing. Not sure if yours is dangerous? An ISA TRAQ risk assessment rates how likely it is to fail.
Projects range from one overhanging branch to a whole yard of trees. Our crews work with bucket trucks, cranes and sectional rigging, often within a few feet of houses, fences or power lines. Every job follows ANSI Z133, the industry safety standard for tree work.

Residential Tree Services in Overland Park, KS
Tree Removal & Tree Cutting
Tree Removal Overland Park takes down dead, diseased and storm-damaged trees, from tall oaks to split maples. Near houses, fences or power lines, climbers rig each section and lower it into a marked drop zone. Too tall to climb? A bucket truck or crane takes over. A 10-foot section of a 24-inch oak weighs close to 2,000 pounds, so nothing gets hand-rigged over your roof. A brush chipper clears the limbs.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Regular trimming keeps trees sound and cuts the risk of falling limbs. Deadwood removal protects your roof and walkways, and silver maples get a close look because their branch unions are weak. Cuts follow ANSI A300, just outside the branch collar, and never take more than about 25 percent of the crown in a season. Oaks get pruned in winter, when oak wilt beetles are inactive. We never top a tree, since cutting it back to stubs weakens it.
Stump Grinding & Removal
After a tree comes down, the stump stays behind. A stump grinder takes it 6 to 12 inches below ground, so you can reseed the lawn or replant, and it removes a hiding spot for termites and carpenter ants. Planning a driveway, patio or new structure on that spot? Then the whole root ball comes out with a mini excavator. Wood chips stay as mulch or get hauled away.
Emergency & Storm Damage Tree Service
High winds, ice storms and heavy snow can drop a tree with little warning. Our emergency crews start with trees on homes, vehicles and power lines, using sectional removal, rigging and roof tarping to limit the damage. Anything touching a line waits until the utility has made it safe. We also document the damage for your insurance claim.
Dead Tree Removal
A dead tree gets less stable every season. Brittle branches, peeling bark, no leaves in summer and shelf-like fungal conks at the base all point to rot inside. Ash killed by emerald ash borer is a common sight here. We take these trees down with sectional rigging or a bucket truck before a windstorm turns them into a hazard for your home, garage or anyone underneath.
Hazardous Tree Removal
Some trees are riskier than they look: severe leans, split trunks, lifted root plates, internal decay. A certified arborist checks first whether the tree can be saved. Anything touching a power line is a job for the utility first and for us second, and OSHA keeps unqualified workers at least 10 feet away from lines up to 50 kV. In tight spaces, we rig the tree down piece by piece, sometimes with a crane.
Commercial Tree Services in Overland Park, KS
Commercial Tree Removal
A dead or failing tree on commercial property is a liability. Tenants, customers and employees walk under it every day. Our certified arborists assess each one, then remove it section by section with rigging, a bucket truck or a crane, which protects pavement, vehicles and buildings in crowded lots. Property managers also get a certificate of insurance and storm damage documentation for claims.
Commercial Stumpgrinding & Removal
Leftover stumps are tripping hazards in parking lots, walkways and common areas. A tracked stump grinder cuts them below grade after a Kansas 811 utility locate, so the spot can be filled, reseeded or paved right away. Shopping centers, office parks and apartment complexes get multi-stump jobs done in one visit, and the grindings leave with us.
Commercial Tree Trimming
Overgrown branches block signage, hide lighting and crowd walkways and drive lanes. Clearance pruning keeps space open for pedestrians, delivery trucks and building entrances, while crown thinning and deadwood removal cut wind resistance in storms. Cuts follow ANSI A300. A yearly trim costs far less than a call after a limb lands on a customer's car.
Specialty Tree Services in Overland Park, KS
Emerald Ash Borer Treatment & Ash Tree Removal
Emerald ash borer arrived from Asia, was first found in the US in 2002 and has been in Johnson County for over a decade. Thinning crowns and D-shaped exit holes about 1/8 inch wide mean an ash tree is under attack. Trunk injections of emamectin benzoate, repeated about every two years, can protect healthy ash. Trees too far gone come down before they turn brittle.
Lot & Land Clearing
Tree Removal Overland Park clears residential lots and commercial parcels for construction, landscaping or development. Crews remove trees, stumps and underbrush with forestry mulchers, skid steers and excavators, grub out the roots and haul the debris away. You get a rough-graded, clean site, coordinated with your contractor so the next phase starts on schedule.
Brush Removal & Wood Chipping
After ice storms, straight-line winds or a property cleanup, brush and fallen limbs pile up fast. Our crew clears them and runs everything through a wood chipper on site, which shrinks the pile a lot. Chips go into your garden beds as mulch or get hauled off. Clearing dense brush also lowers fire risk.
Tree Health Assessment & Arborist Consultation
A certified arborist checks the canopy for thinning and dead branches, the trunk and root flare for cracks, cavities and fungal growth, and the roots for decay or girdling. Where decay is hard to judge by eye, a resistance drill or sonic tomography can see inside the trunk. The recommendation is clear: treatment, pruning, cabling and bracing, or removal. We would rather tell you a tree is fine than sell you a removal.
What to Expect When You Hire Us for Tree Removal
Free Estimate & Site Assessment
We visit your property, check the tree's size, lean, and access, and look for hidden rot and deadwood. The visit usually takes 30 to 60 minutes. You then get a clear written estimate and a start date that fits your schedule.
Planning the Safest Method
Tree size, drop zone, and nearby fences or power lines decide the method: climbing, bucket truck, or crane. Crane setup adds time but cuts labor hours, so large trees near houses can finish faster. We also leave a scheduling buffer for surprises.
Site Setup & Safety
Before the first cut, the crew marks the drop zone, protects lawns and driveways, and checks for underground utilities with an 811 locate when stump work is planned. Setup usually takes 30 to 60 minutes and follows ANSI Z133 safety practices.
Careful Tree Removal
Most residential removals take two to six hours. A small ornamental tree can come down in under an hour. A mature oak may take most of a day, using sectional dismantling and rigging to lower each piece safely.
Cleanup & Haul-Away
Limbs go through the chipper, logs are cut to size, and sawdust is raked and blown clear. Hauling debris usually adds one to two hours. Wood chips and logs stay with you if you want them.
Stump Grinding & Final Walkthrough
If you want the stump gone, a tracked stump grinder takes most of them below grade in about an hour. Then we walk the property with you, rake out the grinding debris, and make sure everything looks the way we agreed.
Tree Service Expertise in Overland Park, KS
Tree work in Overland Park follows the calendar, and knowing that calendar is where local experience shows. Each season brings its own risks, and the trees that fail are rarely a surprise to someone who has watched them through a few years of Kansas weather.
Pin oak, red oak and bur oak, silver maple, Bradford pear, American elm, cottonwood, hackberry and ash fill many older yards. Each has its own weak spot: pin oaks drop heavy limbs, silver maples split, cottonwoods shed branches in storms, and elms carry Dutch elm disease. Knowing the species tells us what to look for.
Winter
Winter is when oaks get pruned, because the dormant season keeps oak wilt from spreading through fresh cuts. Prune an oak in the wrong month and you are inviting trouble. Bare branches also make deadwood and cracked limbs much easier to spot from the ground. It is also ice storm season, when heavy ice loads bring down weak limbs and split Bradford pears first, often onto roofs, fences, and cars.
Spring
Spring brings severe thunderstorms and high winds, and the first calls about broken limbs and fallen trunks. Saturated clay soil loosens the grip of roots, so a tree that stood fine all winter can lean or uproot after a few wet days. Bradford pears are popular for their spring blooms, but their tight V-shaped branch unions tend to split at 15 to 25 years.
Summer
Summer is the time to check ash trees for thinning crowns, woodpecker damage, and the D-shaped exit holes left by emerald ash borer. The beetle has been in Johnson County since 2012 and is now well established across the area. The beetle was first found in Overland Park in 2014 and is now established across Johnson County. Ash trees caught early can often be protected with trunk injections every two years, while badly infested ones become brittle and are safer to take down.
Fall
Fall is when we plan removals for weak or dead trees before the next ice season hits. Maples are everywhere in Overland Park, and fall is when their problems show up right next to the colors.
One more local detail: the city only handles street trees. Anything in your own yard is your responsibility, and that is where a trained ISA Certified Arborist and a good crew make the difference. A tree is a bit like a roof. You can ignore it for years, and then one storm sends the bill.
Tree Removal Cost & Pricing in Overland Park, KS
Tree removal costs in Overland Park depend on a few clear factors. Tree Removal Overland Park gives you a written, itemized estimate after an on-site visit, so you know what you are paying for.
What Affects Tree Removal Cost?
- Size: Height and trunk diameter (DBH) drive labor and equipment.
- Species: Dense hardwoods like bur oak and red oak take longer than softer woods.
- Access: Tight yards, fences, and structures often call for rigging, a bucket truck, or a crane.
- Power lines: Work near energized lines needs qualified line-clearance workers.
- Condition: Dead, storm-damaged, or EAB-killed ash trees turn brittle and need extra care.
Extra Costs to Ask About
- Stump grinding: typically $100 to $400, often priced separately.
- Crane: when a tree can only come down by crane, expect an added charge, about $600 or more depending on crane size and time on site.
- HOA rules: the city handles street trees, but an HOA may limit what you can remove from your yard. A tree in your own yard is normally your decision, so ask before anything gets cut if you are unsure of the property line.
- Lawn repair: ruts from cranes or skid steers may mean sod or reseeding.
How Much Does Tree Removal Cost?
Across the Kansas City area, most residential removals land between $00 and $1,200. Large trees, tight access and work near power lines can push a job past $2,000. Emergency work costs more than a scheduled job.
Tree Size | Estimated Cost Range |
|---|---|
Small (under 30 ft) | $150 to $500 |
Medium (30 to 60 ft) | $350 to $1,500 |
Large (60 to 80 ft) | $650 to $2,000 |
Very large (over 80 ft) | $800 to $2,500 |

If you are not sure what your tree needs, we will look at it and recommend an option.
Pricing depends on the tree's height, diameter, location on the property, and how difficult it is to access. A small tree away from structures costs less to remove than a large tree near a house or power line.
We provide a specific price after we inspect the tree in person. We don't rely on phone estimates alone, since trunk diameter and root conditions affect the final cost. Stump grinding is often priced separately, so ask for it on the quote if you want the stump gone.
