"Marissa responded very quickly to my request for an estimate. She explained the work to be done to trim and shape 3 trees in my front yard. Marissa emailed me the morning of the day scheduled for the work me know they would arrive late because of an equipment problem at an earlier job. The crew did an excellent job of trimming the trees away from my house and checked with me to make sure I was satisfied. They thoroughly cleaned up all the branches and debris before they left. I've received compliments from neighbors on how the trees look now. I would not hesitate to call A&M Tree Services the next time I need an arborist. ."

"The work crew was phenominal. Before they left, they completely cleaned up the yard. Probably better that we would. They are hard workers and very cordial. I wish I had more trees and shrubs to remove!"

"Great work. Showed up on time. Team hit the ground running. Due to space considerations and the size of the tree, the crew had to drop the tree manually. They moved yard “stuff” (birdbath , etc.) that might be in the trees path. Very professional. Team constantly raking and picking up debris. When they were done they left a very clean space behind, with no yard divots and only a little sawdust. We had a very large tree, and they had it down and out in four hours. Victor was our contact and he was very professional and explained every step of the process. Highly recommend. We are scheduling A & M for additional tree work in the fall."

"Mr. Baumann was relatively punctual in responding to my phone call for an appointment (given that it was summer and a prime season for tree work). He came out to the house within a few days, assessed the work, gave the price and estimated when the team would be out to do the work. His crew was very efficient, did exactly as planned and cleaned up completely. We were very satisfied with the entire experience. They even trimmed so that the remaining branches on our side were rather artfully cut --- not an electric company straight line."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

In St Louis, your home may need tree service if you see declining sugar maples, pin oaks, or sycamores—species common in the area—showing signs of disease or storm damage. Watch for branches growing over roofs or driveways, roots lifting sidewalks, or dense canopies blocking sunlight. If you notice mushrooms at the base or sudden leaf loss, it’s time to consult a certified arborist.

Helpful?

For tree service in St Louis, start by confirming if your neighborhood or HOA requires permits. Schedule tree trimming or removal outside the spring and early summer to protect oaks. Assess access for equipment, alert neighbors about upcoming work, and mark underground utilities. Choose a reputable local tree care provider with insurance and experience handling native Missouri species for a safe, efficient project.

Helpful?

In St Louis, older homes, narrow city lots, and properties in historic neighborhoods often present challenges for tree removal or trimming. Limited side yard access, overhead wires, and mature trees near brick foundations or sewer lines can complicate the process. If your property has steep slopes, clay soil, or trees close to driveways, a professional assessment ensures safe and effective tree service.

Helpful?

When hiring tree service pros in St Louis, prioritize companies with experience handling local species like redbuds and elms, and ask about their approach to regional pests. Confirm they carry proper liability insurance and use up-to-date safety equipment. Request detailed written estimates and check for positive local reviews. Choose professionals who understand city permit requirements and communicate clearly throughout the project.

Helpful?

In St Louis, homeowners often underestimate the risks of DIY tree trimming, especially near power lines or mature oaks. Hiring without verifying arborist credentials or insurance is another frequent error. Over-pruning, topping, or trimming during the wrong season can weaken trees and invite pests. Ignoring local permit rules or failing to communicate with neighbors about large removals can also lead to avoidable disputes.

Helpful?

In St Louis, homeowners often underestimate the impact of local weather on tree trimming and removal, especially with native species like pin oaks and sycamores. Ignoring city permit requirements for tree removal or misjudging the spread of diseases such as oak wilt can cause issues. Attempting DIY work near power lines or on mature trees without proper equipment frequently leads to safety hazards and property damage.
