Tree Removal in the Quad Cities
What changes the price
Height
A small tree under 30 ft costs less than a 60-80 ft mature oak.
Trunk diameter
A bigger trunk means more cuts and a heavier load on the rigging.
Access
A narrow gate or tight backyard means more carrying, no truck close.
Nearby structures
A tree over a roof or fence calls for rope-and-lower, not a free drop.
Haul-away
Log and brush haul-off is included; keep the firewood and we knock the price.
What's included
- Climb or lift removal, sectional, to the ground
- Rigging to lower pieces clear of the house, fence and beds
- Flush cut to the trunk at grade
- Haul-off of logs and brush, site raked clean
How a local crew does it
- 01
Assess the lean
We read the lean, the dead wood and the drop zone before a climber leaves the ground.
- 02
Set the rigging
We set a rigging line and notch the top so each piece comes down on a rope, not a free fall.
- 03
Sectional removal
We take the tree down in sections — top first, working down — so nothing lands on the roof or the fence.
- 04
Flush cut and clean
We flush cut the stump to grade, haul the logs and brush, and rake the site clean.
Safety & assessment
Every removal starts with an honest look: the lean, the dead wood overhead, and what's under the drop zone. If a tree is too close to the house or the wires to take with a crew and ropes, we say so and tell you what the next step is. No scare tactics — just a plain read on the job and what it takes.
Local hazards in the QC area
In the QC area we watch for emerald ash borer (EAB is now confirmed in all 99 Iowa counties and across the Illinois Quad Cities), oak wilt, and silver maples that crack in storms. The 2020 derecho is the reference storm — if a tree wouldn't hold in that wind, we'll tell you before the next one.
