Tree work in Kirkwood

Kirkwood is one of St. Louis County’s oldest suburbs, built around the railroad station and a walkable downtown on Kirkwood Road (Lindbergh) and the streets that run off it. The older neighborhoods — the blocks around Kirkwood Park, the station, and the streets toward Webster Groves and Des Peres — have the same kind of large, long-lived oaks, maples and sycamores we see in Webster Groves, often on lots that were laid out when those trees were saplings. Newer pockets and the edges toward Manchester and I-44 have the usual subdivision mix. Kirkwood is about 47 miles from our Alton shop, typically 55 to 65 minutes, and we are honest that this is a planned west-county trip. We still come, we still take storm calls, and we bring the crane when a downtown or near-station lot leaves no room to drop a tree. We handle tree service, tree removal and tree trimming in Kirkwood, MO, including those tight downtown lots. East of downtown, the blocks toward Webster Groves keep that same old-suburb pattern of big front-yard trees and not much room to drop them.

Local tip

If you are opening a new driveway or expanding a patio under a big Kirkwood oak, get the tree looked at first. Cutting roots on one side is a classic way to start a lean toward the house.

“They did such a great job! It was rainy when they came to my house and they took extra precautions and laid down boards to help lessen the tire tracks. It was really nice that all the wood was in one nice pile and out of the way! They were quick and efficient and just overall did a job well done!”

“Couldn't be happier!! The boys did a fantastic job. Cleaned up the mess. Was very polite. The price was reasonable. Was good entertainment watching the one up in the tree doing the cutting.”

“These guys were very Professional, fast Responding and Reasonably priced and that’s no lie. I would recommend them over many companies that I got estimates from. They came out, gave an estimate and did the work in less than 2 weeks. They were amazing especially since the tree was between 2 sets of power lines and they dropped it, hauled it off and cleaned up all in less than 8 hours and without disturbing traffic on a very busy road.”
