When one of the old oaks drops a limb in a storm
The original white oaks and bur oaks left standing through Dardenne Prairie's subdivisions are beautiful, and they drop enormous limbs. A single dead branch from one of these trees can weigh several hundred pounds, and after an ice storm or a summer squall we find them on roofs and hanging half-broken over play sets. The woods along Dardenne Creek add wind-thrown trees to the mix, sometimes leaning into a back yard from the greenway side.
Getting a heavy oak limb off a roof is careful work, done in pieces so the shingles underneath are not torn up on the way out. Broken limbs still hanging over the yard come down next, because a cracked limb that has not fallen yet will, usually in calm weather a week later. Everything is photographed before we cut, and you get an itemized invoice for the insurance claim.

How we handle it
- 1.
Call and triage
Tell us what fell and what it is touching. Active threats to a house or blocked access get moved to the front of the schedule.
- 2.
Stabilize the hazard
We assess what is under load, secure anything that could shift, and photograph the scene for your insurance before cutting.
- 3.
Rig and remove
Sections are roped and lifted off the roof, fence, or vehicle in controlled pieces, smallest loads first, until the structure is clear.
- 4.
Clean up and check the rest
Debris hauled off, the lawn raked, and a walk around your other trees for hangers and cracks the storm left behind.
What sets the price
We quote before we cut, even in an emergency. The price of storm work in Dardenne Prairie depends on:
What the tree is resting on
A limb on a fence is a small job; a whole top on a roof is careful work done in many pieces.
Size and weight
A silver maple limb and a whole white oak are very different lifts.
Access
Trees across a long driveway or wedged between houses take longer to cut apart and carry out.
Whether lines are involved
The utility makes any line safe first, and we work around that.
What comes down later
Clearing the hazard and removing the rest of the tree are quoted as separate steps, so you decide.

Working in Dardenne Prairie
Dardenne Prairie is about twenty minutes from our shop at 211 Hughes Ln in St. Charles, so for anything on a house we are usually there the same day. Once the hazard is handled we walk the rest of your oaks looking for cracks and loosened roots, since a tree that survived this storm with a split fork may not survive the next one.

“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!”

“If you need safe, professional & affordable tree work look no further! I contacted Baylor, he came by the same day for a quote, & had my fallen tree/brush removed by the end of the week. Communication throughout the process was great, he left no trace of his work equipment in the yard, and was even kind enough to offer me a few tips & suggestions about the other trees in my yard. I'll happily be referring his services to all my family & friends. Thanks again BC Tree Service”
Common questions in Dardenne Prairie
How fast can you get to Dardenne Prairie after a storm?
Trees on houses and trees blocking access in Dardenne Prairie come first, and after a major storm we run long days working through the list by how dangerous each situation is. Call (636) 293-6322, tell us what fell and what it is touching, and you will get an honest timeline.
Can you get a tree off my roof without making the damage worse?
Yes. A tree on a building is under strain you cannot see from the ground, so we never drag it off. Each section is tied off and lifted clear in small, controlled pieces until the roof is free.
Do you handle the insurance side?
We are not adjusters, but we photograph the damage from every angle before the first cut and give you an itemized invoice afterward, which is what your insurance company will ask for. Our customers' claims generally go through smoothly.
Do I need a permit for emergency tree removal in Dardenne Prairie?
No permit is needed to make a hazard safe. If the rest of the tree comes down afterward, the usual rules apply: Trees on your own lot in Dardenne Prairie generally do not need a removal permit. Trees in the city right of way or on the Dardenne Creek greenway are not yours to cut, and we will tell you who to call if the tree is on the wrong side of the line.
