Removing the trees St. Peters planted in the 1980s
Most of St. Peters was built in the 1980s and 90s, and the trees the builders planted are wearing out together. Bradford pears split down the middle in windstorms. Silver maples grow fast and weak, then drop big limbs on the roofs they were meant to shade. The ash trees killed by emerald ash borer are standing dead in many yards. When one of these trees has to come out, the hard part is not the tree. It is the neighbor's fence a few feet away and the roof right under it.
We handle that by climbing the tree and lowering every piece on ropes, so nothing falls on its own. The brush gets chipped as it comes down and the trunk is cut into short pieces. The lawn is raked before we leave. If you want the stump gone the same day, we bring the grinder. If you want the wood for a fire pit, we stack it. You get one clear price before anything is cut.

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 St. Peters 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 St. Peters
St. Peters is ten to fifteen minutes from our shop at 211 Hughes Ln in St. Charles, so we can usually look at your tree within a day or two and schedule the removal the same week. We work the neighborhoods around City Centre, near Mid Rivers Mall, and along Highway 370 all the time, so we know how the small yards and tight setbacks here shape a safe takedown.

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