Professional Tree Removal Services

When a tree becomes hazardous, diseased, storm-damaged, or too close to structures, it’s important to address the problem before it leads to costly damage or injury.

Some tree removals require specialized equipment. For large trees, hazardous trees, or trees growing in tight spaces near homes or other structures, Tidd Tree uses crane-assisted removal to safely lift and lower sections with precision, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding property.

We handle urgent and high-risk removals across the Kansas City metro, including Olathe, Overland Park, Grandview, Kansas City, KS, Gardner, and surrounding communities.

Signs a Tree May Need Professional Removal

Some tree issues can quickly become dangerous and should be handled by a professional as soon as possible.

You should call right away if:

  • A tree is leaning suddenly or shifting after a storm
  • Large limbs are cracked, hanging, or have already fallen
  • The trunk is splitting or showing major structural damage
  • A tree is too close to your home or has started making contact
  • Roots are lifting or the ground around the tree is shifting
  • There is any risk to people, property, or nearby structures

These situations often require specialized equipment and experience to handle safely.

If you’re unsure whether it’s urgent, don’t wait — we can help you assess the situation quickly and safely.

Tree Removal Services We Offer

Emergency Tree Removal

Storm Clean Up Kansas City Metro

When storms hit and trees fall unexpectedly, fast action matters. Our 24/7 emergency storm-damaged tree removal services help protect your home, restore access, and eliminate immediate hazards safely.

Crane-Assisted
Tree Removal

Some tree removals require more than standard equipment. When trees are large, damaged, or located near homes, structures, or power lines, crane-assisted tree removal provides a safer and more controlled solution.

At Tidd Tree, we use crane-assisted removal to carefully lift and remove sections of the tree with precision—reducing risk to your home, landscaping, and surrounding property.

This method is especially valuable for storm-damaged trees, tight-access areas, and high-risk removals where traditional methods could cause additional damage.

Learn more about our crane-assisted tree removal services.

Large Tree Removal

Large trees require specialized equipment, careful planning, and an experienced crew. We evaluate the tree’s size, condition, location, access, and proximity to homes or other structures before determining the safest removal approach. When traditional removal methods aren’t appropriate, crane-assisted removal can provide greater control for large or difficult trees.

Hazardous Tree Removal

Hazardous trees can become a serious risk to people, homes, vehicles, and surrounding property. Sudden leaning, cracked trunks, damaged root systems, dead limbs, or structural weakness can indicate that a tree needs professional evaluation. Our team assesses the condition of the tree and determines the safest removal method, including specialized or crane-assisted removal when necessary.

Lot Clearing & Multiple Tree Removal

Residential Land Clearing

For properties needing multiple trees removed, we can coordinate larger-scale clearing safely and efficiently

Tree Removal with Stump Grinding

We offer complete tree removal services that include professional stump grinding, leaving your yard level, safe, and ready for replanting or landscaping.

Hazardous & Storm-Damaged Tree Removal

Not every tree removal is routine. Storm damage, leaning trees, split trunks, and large trees near homes or structures often require a safer, more controlled approach.

Hazardous Trees

A tree may become hazardous long before it falls. Leaning trees, cracked trunks, root damage, and large dead limbs can all increase the risk of property damage or injury.

Storm-Damaged Trees

Kansas City storms can leave trees unstable even after the weather has passed. Broken limbs, uprooted trees, and structural damage should be evaluated before conditions worsen.

High-Risk Removals

Large trees near homes, fences, driveways, or utility lines often require specialized equipment. Crane-assisted removals allow for safer, more controlled removal in challenging situations.

Tidd Tip

What Affects Your Quote

No two trees — or jobs — are exactly alike. That’s why our pricing is customized based on your specific situation. After evaluating your tree, we provide a clear, detailed estimate so you know exactly what to expect.

  • Tree Size: Taller, wider trees require more crew time and equipment.
  • Location: Trees near homes, fences, or power lines require special care.
  • Access: Tight spaces or crane setups affect logistics and pricing.
  • Cleanup: We can haul, chip, or leave wood based on your preferences.
  • Stump Grinding: Optional add-on service, quoted separately.

We’ll walk you through it all, so there are no surprises — just straightforward, transparent pricing from a team you can trust.

Tree Removal FAQs

Maybe. Tree removal permit requirements vary depending on where your property is located and the circumstances of the removal. Trees in public rights-of-way, protected areas, or properties subject to local development or HOA requirements may require approval before removal. Rules can also differ between Kansas City and surrounding cities and counties.

If you’re unsure, check the requirements for your specific property before work begins. Tidd Tree can also help identify potential permitting considerations during your tree removal assessment.

Great question! When we arrive to remove a tree, the first thing we do is assess the safest way to take it down. That depends on things like the tree’s size, how close it is to buildings or power lines, and whether we need to use a crane or climbing gear. We’ll usually start at the top and take it down in sections, lowering each piece carefully to the ground. Then we haul everything off unless you’ve asked to keep the wood. It’s not a one-slice-and-done kind of job — we’re all about safety, control, and leaving your yard clean.

Nope — not unless you want to be! We can handle the job whether you’re home or not. Before we start, we’ll confirm everything with you by phone or email so there are no surprises. If there’s a gate to unlock or pets to keep inside, we’ll talk about that in advance. Most of our customers appreciate not having to take time off work just to have their tree removed.

Tree removal pricing can vary quite a bit because every tree and property is different. The biggest factors are the tree’s size and condition, how close it is to your home, power lines, fences or other structures, site access, equipment needed — including whether crane-assisted removal is required — stump grinding, and debris removal. We provide a free estimate up front so you’ll understand the scope of the work and cost before we begin.

There are several warning signs to watch for, including a sudden lean, large dead branches, cracks or splits in the trunk, root damage, decay, or changes around the base of the tree. Storm damage can also make a tree unstable even when the problem isn’t immediately obvious. We can assess the tree and help determine whether removal is the safest option or whether trimming or another approach may be appropriate instead.Check our handy guide – 7 Reasons to Cut Down a Tree. 

It can be, but trees close to homes, garages, fences, utility lines, or other structures require careful planning and specialized equipment. Depending on the tree and site conditions, we may use controlled rigging, specialized equipment, or crane-assisted removal to safely dismantle the tree while reducing risk to the surrounding property. These are exactly the types of complex removals Tidd Tree is equipped to handle.

Tree removal can be extremely dangerous, particularly with large trees, damaged or decaying limbs, limited space, or trees near homes and utility lines. Professional removal involves much more than using a chainsaw — it requires evaluating the tree, controlling how sections are removed, using the appropriate equipment, and protecting people and surrounding property. For large, hazardous, or difficult-access trees, professional removal is the safest approach.
