Sixty feet of tree over a modest Ballwin lot
Ballwin's neighborhoods filled in between the 1960s and 80s, and the sweetgums and pin oaks planted when the houses were new are now the biggest things on the block. They stand sixty feet and taller over patios, pools, fences, and the neighbor's garage, dropping gumballs and dead branches in equal measure. Streets near Vlasis Park and out toward Castlewood State Park show the pattern: big trees on small lots, with very little room for anything to fall.
That is why every Ballwin removal is taken apart limb by limb on ropes. The crew clears a spot on the ground and Baylor lowers each piece to it, so nothing touches the patio or the pool cover. Sweetgum wood is heavy and awkward, so we cut it small and haul it, then rake the lawn until the gumballs we knocked loose are gone too. Grinding the stump the same visit leaves you a spot you can seed.

How we handle it
- 1.
Free on-site assessment
We look at the tree, the lean, the targets underneath, and give you a clear quote with no upsell.
- 2.
Rig and protect
Drop zones get planned, ropes get set, and anything below the canopy gets protected before a single cut.
- 3.
Take it down in sections
Limbs first, then the trunk in manageable pieces, each one lowered under control.
- 4.
Clean up and haul off
Wood hauled away or cut and stacked if you want to keep it, debris raked, lawn left spotless.
What sets the price
Every Ballwin removal is quoted in person and for free. The number comes from a few things we can see standing in your yard:
Height and trunk size
A taller, thicker tree means more pieces to lower and more wood to move.
What sits underneath
A roof, a fence, a pool, or a service line under the tree adds careful work, since nothing can be dropped.
Condition of the tree
Dead, brittle wood has to be climbed and cut more slowly than sound wood.
Access for hauling
Wood that must be carried out through a gate or gangway costs more to move than wood a truck can reach.
Stump and wood choices
Grinding the stump and hauling versus stacking the wood are separate lines you can add or leave off.

“Baylor did an awesome job cutting down a dead tree right next to my house. So glad we don't have to worry about it falling on our house during a storm. Super polite and friendly, I highly recommend him!”
Deanna Moseley
“Baylor Cole, owner of BC's Tree Service, did a phenomenal job for us. His pricing was competitive, and his service was exceptionally professional and thorough. We needed two trees removed, and he was communicative, quick to respond, and an absolute joy to work with. His attention to detail in cleanup, the photos he provided of the completed work, and his willingness to cut and neatly stack the wood exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend BC's Tree Service!”
Chris Stephens
“BC's tree service did a great job taking down my huge 40 year old gumball tree. They got my scheduled out quickly and got the job done in one day, including grinding the stump down. Great work, no damage to the house, they cleaned up the huge mess and hauled it all off. Will be calling him back for my pine tree next!”
Common questions in Ballwin
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Ballwin?
Trees on your own lot in Ballwin generally do not need a removal permit. Street trees in Ballwin's right of way belong to the city, and we will tell you if the tree you are asking about is one of them.
Can you take down a very tall tree in Ballwin?
Yes, and tall trees are our specialty. Baylor climbs and lowers trees on ropes that many crews will only quote with a crane, which is why our price on a large Ballwin removal is often lower than homeowners expect.
Is stump grinding included in the removal?
Standard removal takes the trunk down to a low stump. Grinding is a separate line on the quote that most Ballwin customers add so the job is finished in one visit and the spot can be seeded or replanted.
Will the removal damage my yard?
No. Every limb and trunk section is lowered on ropes to a cleared spot, heavy wood is moved without tearing up the lawn, and the crew rakes and cleans before leaving. On tight Ballwin lots the wood is carried out by hand.
