"Victor and his team were exceptional. The trimming needs were carefully analyzed as dangerous tree limbs were removed from two very large oak trees thus preventing damage to two homes and garage. All remaining debris including some very large limbs were removed from the property. A and M Tree services exceeded my expectations. I would definitely hire them again in the future. Monica B.

"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!"

"I hired them to trim my hedge, take out some patio ties and remove roots from the old plants. Also, they trimmed the lower branches from my trees. I was very pleased. They arrived on time and did a great job! I highly recommend them."

"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."

"Mike was the third of four tree services that we arranged to have provide us with an estimate. He visited the house, took a look at the trees, and discussed removal with us. His estimate was that his crew could remove both trees in one day, which was faster than several of the other estimates we received. I checked with him for proof of insurance, which he promptly provided, and asked a few questions about his business. Mike provided an estimate that was right in line with most of the other estimates. Because of the stellar reviews that he had on Angie's List, we felt confident hiring. After discussing a few final details, we returned the contract. Scheduling was difficult because of the weather, but Mike remained in touch until we found a day that worked. Mike and his crew arrived in the morning. My wife stayed home that day and said that they laid plywood to protect the yard from the skidder and lift. She said that the crews were efficient and that they were wearing protective equipment. Before noon, they had the trees removed. When I arrived home that night, I observed that the yard was basically as it was before, with very minimal signs that the equipment and crew had been there. The crew cut the stumps or the trees to the ground as far as possible (we did not opt for stump grinding based on the location of the trees), and they picked up all of the debris. We greatly appreciate Mike's attention to detail and the care and concern with which his crew worked. We would absolutely hire him again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

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, 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?

In St Louis, you can trim small, low branches from maples or ornamental trees and clear away fallen limbs after storms. Always check for signs of local pests like emerald ash borer. If you notice branches overhanging roofs, trees close to power lines, or symptoms of disease, stop and contact a tree care professional to avoid injury and protect your property.
