Olathe has grown fast, and many neighborhoods are filled with trees planted when the houses were built. Those trees are now big enough to need real care: branches over roofs, crowded canopies and structural problems that are much easier to fix now than after they get bigger.
Olathe also has older parts of town with mature trees, and more open lots toward the edges of the city where wind exposure is higher during storms.
Getting ahead of problems
For younger and mid-age trees, good structural pruning — removing competing leaders, crossing branches and weak attachments — sets the tree up to handle wind and ice for decades. Fall and winter is the best time to do it for most species, and the only time we prune oaks, because of oak wilt risk in the area.
Some fast-growing trees commonly planted in subdivisions decline early or split in storms. When a tree is past saving, we take it down in sections, haul everything away and can grind the stump so you can plant something better suited to the spot.
Nearby areas we also cover
Along with Olathe, we regularly work in Gardner, Lenexa, Shawnee, De Soto and the rest of the metro within about a 60-minute drive of Kansas City.

My subdivision trees are about 15 years old. Do they need pruning?
Often, yes. That's the ideal age for structural pruning to correct weak branch attachments before they become storm problems.
Do you work in Gardner and De Soto?
Yes. We cover Gardner, De Soto, Lenexa and Shawnee along with Olathe.
Can you replace a removed tree?
We focus on removal, trimming and stump grinding. We'll grind the stump and leave the spot ready for you or a nursery to plant.
