Clearing under a canopy that must not be disturbed
Even in Ladue, the edges of a property can grow wild: honeysuckle and volunteer trees along a back line, or old plantings that outgrew their beds decades ago. Clearing here happens under oaks that are older than the houses, so the work is done by hand and the equipment stays off the roots and the lawn.
We mark what stays, cut the rest by hand, and carry it off the property rather than dragging it across the lawn. Mats go down anywhere equipment must travel. Stumps are ground flush only where you want lawn, with the underground utilities and irrigation lines marked first. The plantings you keep are left exactly as they were.

How we handle it
- 1.
Walk the property together
We flag what stays, what goes, and where the property lines and utilities are, then give you a free, clear quote.
- 2.
Drop the trees
Unwanted trees come down first, felled or rigged in sections depending on how tight the lot is.
- 3.
Cut the brush and understory
Honeysuckle, cedar, vines, and saplings get cut to the ground so you can see and use the space again.
- 4.
Haul, grind, and finish
Debris hauled off, stumps ground on request, and the ground left ready to mow, build on, or fence.
What sets the price
Clearing in Ladue is priced by the area and what is growing on it. The price depends on:
Size of the area
A fence row is a few hours; an overgrown acre is a day or more.
What is growing
Honeysuckle and small volunteer trees go fast; big trees that have to come down in pieces do not.
Trees to keep
Working carefully around the trees you are keeping takes longer than clearing everything.
Stumps
Grinding the stumps flush so the ground can be mowed is a separate line you can add or leave off.
Chip on site or haul
Chipping the brush where it falls costs less than hauling it all away.

Mark
“We had a great experience with BC's Tree Service. They removed two large trees and cut everything down to the stump. The crew showed up on time, worked hard, and completed everything in a timely manner. Communication throughout the process was excellent, and the cleanup afterward was very impressive. Everything was left neat and clean. Very professional, efficient, and easy to work with. Highly recommend!”

They provided a clear, detailed estimate and completed the tree removal with precision and care. They even took the time to clean up the area thoroughly, leaving my yard in better shape than before. I highly recommend them for anyone needing tree services. Five stars!”
Common questions in Ladue
Do I need a permit to clear my lot in Ladue?
Cutting brush and small volunteer trees on your own lot does not need a permit in Ladue. If the clearing takes out larger trees, the removal rules apply: Ladue has a tree preservation ordinance, so removing a larger tree can require city approval first. We check the current rule with the city and handle that step with you before scheduling.
Can you clear just part of the lot?
Yes. We walk the property with you first, mark the trees you want to keep and the line where the clearing stops, and leave everything beyond it alone. Most jobs are a back corner, a fence line, or a slope rather than the whole property.
Will clearing damage the trees I keep?
Not if it is done carefully. We stay off the root zones of the trees you are keeping with any equipment, lay mats where we have to cross a lawn, and cut by hand close to the trees that stay. Compacted soil over the roots is the main thing that harms a big tree, and we avoid it.
What grows back after clearing in Ladue?
Honeysuckle and the fast-growing volunteer trees will try to come back from the roots, which is why we grind or cut the worst of them below the surface. Mowing the cleared ground a few times the first season keeps it open, and we are glad to come back for a touch-up the following year.
