After a St. Peters storm, the pears go first
The morning after a windstorm in St. Peters looks the same every time: Bradford pears split across driveways, big maple limbs on roofs, broken branches still hanging over play sets, and the occasional dead ash tree lying across a fence. The subdivisions here were planted with the same few kinds of trees decades ago, so when one fails on a street, several more have usually failed on the same street. We sort the calls by what the tree is touching, and anything on a house or blocking a driveway goes first.
A tree resting on a roof is under strain in ways you cannot see from the ground, so we never pull it off with a truck. Baylor ties off each section and lifts it clear in small, controlled pieces until the roof is free. Before anything moves we photograph the damage from every angle, and afterward you get an itemized invoice, which is what your insurance adjuster will ask for.

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 St. Peters 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 St. Peters
St. Peters is ten to fifteen minutes from our shop at 211 Hughes Ln in St. Charles, so after a storm we can usually be there the same day for anything threatening a house. We work through the list by how dangerous each situation is, and once the hazard is handled we look over your remaining trees for cracked or hanging limbs the storm left behind.

“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!”
Mick Schlueter
“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 St. Peters
How fast can you get to St. Peters after a storm?
Trees on houses and trees blocking access in St. Peters 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 St. Peters?
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 St. Peters generally do not need a removal permit. Street trees in the city right of way belong to St. Peters, and we will tell you if the tree you are asking about is one of them.
Storm left a mess in St. Peters?
Call now and we will get the dangerous stuff handled first, then leave the property clean.
