Silver maples are why the phone rings after a storm here
A fast-grown silver maple at full size is a tree waiting to break, and Maryland Heights has thousands of them over the rooflines of the subdivisions between Creve Coeur Park and the older part of town. After a storm we find whole limbs on roofs, tops lying across two yards at once, broken branches hanging over driveways, and the dead ash trees finally on the ground. Lots are compact, so one tree coming apart usually involves a neighbor.
Silver maple wood is brittle, so a limb resting on a roof can let go without warning. We tie it off before anyone goes near it and lift it off in controlled pieces. The scene is photographed first for insurance, and the debris is chipped and hauled once the roof is clear. If the rest of the tree is living on borrowed time, we will tell you straight.

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 Maryland Heights 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.

“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 Maryland Heights
How fast can you get to Maryland Heights after a storm?
Trees on houses and trees blocking access in Maryland Heights 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 Maryland Heights?
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 Maryland Heights generally do not need a removal permit. Street trees along the city right of way belong to Maryland Heights, and we will confirm which is which before we quote.
Storm left a mess in Maryland Heights?
Call now and we will get the dangerous stuff handled first, then leave the property clean.
