Storm damage under a century-old canopy
Ladue's white oaks and bur oaks are older than the houses beneath them, and when ice or wind brings part of one down it lands on a garden or a slate roof that cannot simply have a tree dragged across it. A limb from a tree this age can weigh more than a truck. The first emergency is getting it off the building safely, and the second is doing it without damaging the landscape around it.
Every section is lowered on ropes, with mats and plywood wherever wood must touch the ground. Trucks stay off the lawn entirely. The scene is photographed before the first cut for your adjuster, and the debris leaves the property by hand where the landscape demands it. Afterward, the rest of the tree gets an honest assessment: many storm-damaged oaks can be kept, and some cannot.

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 Ladue 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 Ladue
Ladue is about thirty-five minutes from our shop at 211 Hughes Ln in St. Charles, and after a storm trees on houses are handled first across the metro. Ladue's tree preservation ordinance can apply to a full removal, so once the hazard is cleared we confirm the rule with the city before taking the rest of the tree down.

“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!”

“BC was very knowledgeable in his field. He executed extreme care when dropping limbs around power lines. Would highly recommend. A+ rating.”

“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 Ladue
How fast can you get to Ladue after a storm?
Trees on houses and trees blocking access in Ladue 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 Ladue?
No permit is needed to make a hazard safe. If the rest of the tree comes down afterward, the usual 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.
Storm left a mess in Ladue?
Call now and we will get the dangerous stuff handled first, then leave the property clean.
