Tree Removal
Dead, dying, storm-cracked, or just in the wrong spot: when a tree has to go, we take it down in controlled sections with proper rigging, and we do not flinch at the tall ones. Fully licensed and insured, with your house, fence, and lawn protected the whole way down.

The tall, tight, and tricky removals are our specialty
Most of the trees we remove in St. Charles County are not standing in open fields. They lean over roofs, thread through power lines, and shade the same fence they are about to fall on. That is exactly the work Baylor and the crew are built for: climbing, rigging, and lowering every piece under control instead of hoping gravity cooperates.
We remove everything from storm-split silver maples to 40-year-old sweetgums and oaks that have outgrown their yards. You get a straight answer on whether the tree actually needs to come down, a fair quote, and a property that looks better when we leave than when we arrived.
Very tall trees, no problem
Baylor climbs and rigs the trees other crews turn down. Height and tight quarters are the jobs we like best.
Nothing free-falls
Limbs and trunk sections are roped and lowered piece by piece, so your roof, deck, and landscaping stay untouched.
Honest recommendations
If trimming or cabling can save a healthy tree, we will tell you before we ever quote a removal.
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 this covers
Dead and dying tree removal
Brittle, decayed trees are the most dangerous to climb, and the most important to remove before a storm does it for you.
Large and tall tree removal
Mature oaks, sweetgums, silver maples, and pines, including trees well over roof height.
Close-quarters takedowns
Trees against houses, over garages, along fence lines, and near power lines, removed without damage.
Storm-damaged and hazard trees
Cracked leaders, hangers, and uprooted trees stabilized and removed safely.
Stump grinding add-on
Most removals can include grinding the stump below grade the same visit, so the job is truly finished.
Wood handling your way
Full haul-off, or we cut logs to length and stack them neatly if you heat with wood.

Built for St. Charles County trees and storms
Between summer windstorms, winter ice, and heavy clay soil that lets roots heave, trees around St. Charles, St. Peters, and O'Fallon fail in predictable ways. Bradford pears split at the trunk, silver maples drop half their crown, and pin oaks hold dead limbs over driveways for years.
We remove trees across St. Charles County and the St. Louis metro every week, so we quote quickly, show up when we say we will, and know exactly how these species behave on the way down.

Matt
“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
How much does tree removal cost in St. Charles, MO?
It depends on the height, trunk diameter, condition of the tree, and what is underneath it. A small ornamental may be a few hundred dollars, while a large oak over a house is significantly more. We give free on-site estimates, and customers regularly tell us our quotes came in under the other bids they collected.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
Most tree removals on private residential property in St. Charles County do not require a permit, but a few municipalities have rules for street trees or protected areas. We flag it during the estimate if your situation needs one.
Can you remove a tree that is close to my house or power lines?
Yes. Close-quarters removals are the bulk of our work. We climb and rig every piece so nothing swings toward the house, and around service lines we take extra care with rope control on every cut.
Is the stump included in a tree removal?
Standard removal takes the trunk down to a low stump. Stump grinding is a separate add-on that most customers bundle in, and we quote both up front so there are no surprises.
What happens to the wood?
Your choice. We haul everything away as part of cleanup, or we can cut the trunk into firewood lengths and stack it neatly on your property at no extra charge.
