A dead tree by the driveway, a leaner after a storm, a silver maple that outgrew the lot. The crew brings it down in sections, hauls it off, and rakes the yard before the trailer leaves.

Limbs over the roof, branches into the neighbor's yard, dead wood you can see from the street. A trim planned around the tree's health and the clearance you need.

Ground below grade, chips hauled off, ready for seed or sod. The spot the mower kept catching is just lawn again.
view serviceManchester's neighborhoods mostly went in between the 1960s and the 1980s, and the trees planted with them are full grown now. That means a lot of the same calls: a silver maple that has gotten too big for the lot, a pin oak dropping dead limbs onto the driveway, a sweetgum shading out the whole backyard. Lots run smaller than in Wildwood or Town and Country, so the tree is usually close to the house, the fence, or the neighbor's roof.
Close quarters change how the job gets done. The crew climbs and rigs rather than dropping whole sections, and every piece comes down where it was planned to. Alberto leads that work, and the crew has done it enough times that it looks calm from the driveway.
The question most Manchester homeowners actually have. Tree trimming is the answer when the tree is healthy and the problem is a limb, clearance, or dead wood in the canopy. Tree removal is the answer when the tree is dead, failing, or in a spot where no amount of trimming fixes it. Stump grinding follows a removal and takes the stump below grade so you can seed or sod over it.
Matt makes that call on the property, with you, and tells you why.
Step four is the one homeowners write reviews about. It is also the one most crews treat as optional. We do not.
Late winter is the easiest time to trim most shade trees. The tree is dormant, the structure is visible without leaves, and cuts heal quickly once spring growth starts. Removals and stump grinding happen year-round, weather and ground conditions allowing.
A limb on the roof or a dead tree leaning toward the house does not wait for a season. Matt will tell you during the estimate whether waiting makes sense for your tree.
Every job is quoted in person. The size of the tree, how close it sits to the house or lines, how much needs to come off or come down, and how hard it is to get equipment back there all change the number. The estimate is free, and what Matt quotes is what you pay.
Manchester is next door, and a lot of the work here comes from a neighbor who watched the crew handle the house across the street. The reviews say the same things. The owner showed up. The crew knew what it was doing. The yard was clean afterward. Ballwin Tree Service has over 100 five-star reviews, and the specific ones are the ones we hold ourselves to. "You'd never know a crew was there." "Qualified professionals and safety minded."
Manchester shares a border with Ballwin, so it has been part of Ballwin Tree Service's route for as long as the company has existed. Over 15 years working Manchester, Ballwin, Chesterfield, Clarkson Valley, Ellisville, and Wildwood. We do three things: tree removal, tree trimming, and stump grinding. Owner Matt Neal walks every estimate himself, Alberto leads the crew, and the yard is clean when we leave. Every time.
