“Columbia Tree Service came out and trimmed back all the overgrown hedges around our front foundation. They shaped everything up really nicely and hauled away all the clippings same day. The whole property looks so much more manicured now.”
Hedge Trimming & Shrub Care
“Had them out in early spring to prune back some branches hanging over our driveway. The crew was professional and efficient, took them maybe 3 hours for what I thought would be a whole day job. Really impressed with how clean they left everything.”
Tree Trimming & Pruning
“We needed our shrubs shaped up along the brick exterior of our house and these guys nailed it. They were careful around the foundation and didn't damage anything. Looks like a totally different home now.”
Hedge Trimming & Shrub Care
“Hired Columbia Tree Service to clear out a wooded area on our property back in the fall. They removed a ton of brush and smaller trees, really opened up the valley view. The whole job took two days with a crew of four and they left the site looking pristine.”
Land Clearing
“Had a dead oak in our backyard that was becoming a hazard. They removed it safely and ground out the stump completely so we can actually use that space now. Fair pricing and zero mess when they finished.”
Tree Removal & Stump Grinding
“Called them out for an arborist consultation on a couple of our older trees because we weren't sure if they were healthy. The expert was super knowledgeable and gave us a detailed report with recommendations. Didn't push us to do unnecessary work, really appreciated that honesty.”
Arborist Consultation
“We're building a new house and needed the lot cleared. Columbia Tree Service took care of all the tree removal and brush clearing to prep the site. They worked fast and were really organized about where everything went.”
Land Clearing
“After a storm took down a big tree, we were left with this massive stump in the middle of our yard. They ground it out and the circular area they cleared is already looking better. One small thing, they could've raked the chips a bit more, but honestly it's a minor complaint.”

Columbia Tree Service is your trusted partner for professional tree care throughout Columbia, Missouri and the surrounding region. Whether you're a homeowner in the historic neighborhoods of North Central, the tree-lined streets near the University of Missouri campus, the newer developments in Old Hawthorne and Thornbrook, or the rural farmland around Ashland, Hallsville, Centralia, and Rocheport, our team has the expertise to handle your tree service needs. For over a decade, we've been the go-to choice for homeowners searching for tree service near me in Columbia who demand insured work and prompt, professional service.
From the Victorian and Craftsman homes of the 1920s to the brick ranches along Shepard Boulevard and the contemporary two-story homes in Cherry Hill, Columbia's diverse residential landscape is shaded by mature oaks, maples, sycamores, and other native species. These trees add beauty and value to our community, but they also require expert care and sometimes removal. When you need reliable tree work, call Columbia Tree Service at (573) 533-4825 or request a free estimate to get started.
Storm damage and fallen trees are among the most serious threats to Columbia homes and families. Heavy spring and summer thunderstorms, ice accumulation in winter, and high winds can bring down large branches or entire trees without warning. A mature pin oak, white oak, or sugar maple crashing onto your roof, vehicle, or fence represents thousands of dollars in damage and potential injury. Columbia Tree Service responds to these emergencies 24/7, with crews equipped to safely remove fallen trees, clear hazardous limbs hanging over structures, and restore access to your property when disaster strikes.
Beyond storm emergencies, many homeowners face slow-developing hazards that demand professional attention. Dead wood in the canopy, trees leaning toward power lines or rooflines, and trees with structural weakness or disease can fail without warning, especially during high winds or heavy snow. Our Tree Removal service addresses these risks before they become emergencies. We assess tree health, identify hazards, and recommend safe removal or mitigation strategies tailored to your property and budget.
If you're facing a tree emergency right now, do not attempt removal yourself. Call (573) 533-4825 immediately for rapid response. For non-emergency removal or to discuss hazardous trees on your property, request a free estimate and let our team evaluate your situation. We handle large tree removal, stump extraction, debris cleanup, and restoration work with the safety and precision your home deserves.
The cost of tree removal in Columbia varies based on several factors specific to your property and trees. Tree size and species matter significantly, as does the tree's location relative to your home, garage, fence, or utility lines. Access for equipment, the complexity of the removal, and whether nearby structures or landscaping require protection all influence the final price. A straightforward removal of a smaller tree in an open yard costs far less than extracting a 60-foot oak from a tight residential lot or removing a storm-damaged tree that's already compromised.
To understand what tree service will cost for your situation, visit our pricing page for general guidance, then contact us for a detailed estimate. Every job is unique, and our team will walk you through the scope of work and cost before we begin.
Beyond tree removal, Columbia Tree Service offers a full range of care and maintenance services. Stump Grinding removes the remaining root system after felling, restoring your yard for landscaping or new plantings. Professional Tree Trimming and Pruning improves tree health, shape, and safety while reducing risk of branch failure. We also provide Hedge Trimming and Shrub Care, Land Clearing for property development, and Arborist Consultation to assess tree health and recommend long-term care strategies.
Tree removal in Columbia and surrounding municipalities may require a permit, particularly for trees above a certain diameter or those designated as heritage or protected species. Many communities in the area enforce tree ordinances to preserve the urban canopy and protect significant oaks, redwoods, and other valuable trees. Additionally, if your property is in an HOA community, approval may be needed for visible removals. Columbia Tree Service is familiar with local regulations and can advise you on whether your project requires permitting.
Before scheduling removal, we recommend checking with your local building department or HOA to understand what applies to your situation. Our team can answer questions about the permit process and help ensure your project complies with all local rules. Contact us with details about your trees and property, and we'll guide you through the next steps.
