Old-town oaks and subdivision pears, taken down the same careful way
Cottleville has two kinds of tree removal. In the old town near Legacy Park the trees are genuinely old. Oaks and hackberries hold limbs heavier than a car over small historic houses and narrow side yards. In the subdivisions around it the trees are younger but failing faster, mostly Bradford pears that split in a storm and fast-growing maples with weak forks. Both need a crew that climbs, because a bucket truck rarely fits.
Baylor climbs every tree himself and lowers each piece on ropes, so a sixty-foot oak leaning over a cottage does not change how we work or push the price out of reach. Smaller subdivision removals go quickly, often done by lunch with the stump ground. Cleanup is included on every job: brush chipped, wood hauled or stacked, lawn raked, driveway swept.

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 Cottleville 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.

Working in Cottleville
Cottleville is about fifteen minutes from our shop at 211 Hughes Ln in St. Charles, close enough that we can often look at a tree the day you call. The wet ground along Dardenne Creek causes leaning trees and loose roots that we rarely see on higher ground, so we check how solid the roots are before deciding how to take a creek-side tree down. Trees along the street right of way belong to the city, and we will tell you if yours is one of them.

“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 Cottleville
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Cottleville?
Trees on your own lot in Cottleville generally do not need a removal permit. Trees along the street right of way belong to the city, and we will tell you if yours is one of them before we quote.
Can you take down a very tall tree in Cottleville?
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 Cottleville 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 Cottleville 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 Cottleville lots the wood is carried out by hand.
