Removals under one of the metro's oldest canopies
Ladue grew up under white oaks and bur oaks that are older than the houses beneath them, and removing one is never routine. The tree is usually standing over a garden or a slate roof that took decades to establish, and the trunk alone can weigh more than a loaded truck. Oak wilt is the other constant here, which affects when we cut as well as how.
Protection is the core of how we work in Ladue. Every limb is lowered on ropes, and mats and plywood go down wherever anything must touch the ground. We park the trucks where they stay off the lawn entirely, and sections are carried out by hand where the landscape demands it. When the oak is down and the stump is ground, the property should look untouched apart from the tree that needed attention.

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 Ladue 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 Ladue
Ladue is about thirty-five minutes from our shop at 211 Hughes Ln in St. Charles, and we make the drive for exactly this kind of exacting work. Ladue has a tree preservation ordinance, so removing a larger tree can require city approval first; we check the current rule and handle that step with you. We will tell you plainly what a tree needs, and we are just as quick to say when it needs nothing.

“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 Ladue
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Ladue?
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 take down a very tall tree in Ladue?
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 Ladue 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 Ladue 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 Ladue lots the wood is carried out by hand.
