How It Works

Our Process for Free On-Site Estimate

1

You call or contact us

Reach us at (573) 615-8401 or through the site. Tell us roughly what you're dealing with — one tree, storm damage, a few stumps. We'll schedule a time to come out.
2

We show up on time

We come to your property at the scheduled time. No sending someone to take photos and call back later — the person who quotes the job has done this work.
3

We look at the tree with you

We walk the site together. You point out concerns, we look at the tree from all angles — lean, deadwood, proximity to structures, access for equipment.
4

We explain what we see

If the tree is genuinely fine, we'll say so. If it needs to come down, we explain why in plain terms. We don't manufacture urgency to close a job.
5

You get a written quote

We hand you a written number before we leave. It covers the specific scope we discussed — not a range, not a per-hour guess. A real quote.
6

No obligation

Take the quote home, compare it, think on it. If you call us back, great. If not, the visit cost you nothing.

What's included

In-person site visit at no charge, every time
Written quote covering the specific work discussed
Honest assessment of whether the work is urgent or can wait
Answers to your questions about process, timeline, and scope
Quotes for multiple trees or services in a single visit

What's not included

Formal arborist reports or written tree health certifications — those require a separate process
Quotes for work that requires us to access a neighbor's property without their presence
Emergency same-hour response — we schedule visits, we don't dispatch on demand

Real Situations

Common Scenarios in Columbia

A homeowner on the west side of Columbia got a quote from another company but it seemed high and they weren't sure what was included.

We come out and look at the same tree. We give our own written quote and explain what drives our number. If the first quote was reasonable, we'll tell you that too. We're not here to just undercut — we're here to give you accurate information.

A property manager in Columbia needs three trees assessed across two rental properties before the season starts.

We schedule one visit to cover both addresses. Each tree gets looked at individually and quoted in writing. They leave with clear numbers for each job and can approve them separately or together.

A homeowner isn't sure if their large oak is dead or just slow to leaf out in spring.

We come out, look at the crown, scratch-test a few branches, and check the base for rot or fungal growth. We give our honest read. If it can wait another season, we'll say so rather than push for a removal job.

Columbia Context

Why this matters in Columbia

Columbia homeowners deal with a mix of older established trees in historic neighborhoods and fast-growing species like cottonwoods and silver maples in newer developments. Conditions change year to year — a tree that was fine after last spring's storms may have internal damage that shows up this year. An in-person look is the only way to give you a number that means anything.

Straight Talk

About pricing & scope

A phone estimate isn't worth much for tree work. Size, lean, access, and what's underneath the tree all affect the price significantly. Two trees that look similar in a photo can be very different jobs in person. That's why we do this in person every time — so the number we give you holds up when we show up to do the work.
