O'Fallon's trees grew up fast and are coming down on schedule
O'Fallon added subdivisions by the dozen through the 1990s and 2000s, and nearly every one was planted the same way: Bradford pears along the drive and silver or red maples in the yard. Twenty to thirty years later, the pears split in the first strong wind and the maples drop big limbs on roofs. We remove more failed pears in O'Fallon than anywhere else we work, often two or three on the same street in the same week after a storm.
Every O'Fallon removal is planned around what sits under the tree, which here means fences, play sets, trampolines, and the neighbor's siding. We lower each limb on ropes so nothing drops into the yard on its own, and we chip the brush as we go. If you want the spot ready for a better tree, we grind the stump the same visit. The large older trees near Fort Zumwalt Park get the full climbing treatment that tall oaks over houses require.

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 O'Fallon 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 O'Fallon
O'Fallon is about twenty minutes from our shop at 211 Hughes Ln in St. Charles, and we are in the city several times a week, so an estimate rarely waits more than a couple of days. Street trees between the sidewalk and the curb belong to the city, which has its own rules for them. Trees on your own lot are yours to remove, and we will confirm which is which before we quote.

“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 O'Fallon
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in O'Fallon?
Trees on your own lot in O'Fallon are yours to remove without a permit in most cases. Street trees between the sidewalk and the curb belong to the city, which has its own rules for them, and we will confirm which is which before we quote.
Can you take down a very tall tree in O'Fallon?
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 O'Fallon 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 O'Fallon 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 O'Fallon lots the wood is carried out by hand.
