About Shawnee Tree Removal

Shawnee Tree Removal is a tree removal company based in Shawnee, KS, with more than twenty years of removals behind us across Johnson County and both sides of State Line Road. We take down trees, prune and cable the ones worth keeping, grind stumps, clear lots and answer the phone when something has come through a roof at two in the morning.

Working a metro that straddles a state line changes the job in ways that are easy to underestimate. Kansas and Missouri answer the neighbor’s tree question through opposite rules, the disposal gates that will take your trunk wood are not the ones a homeowner can use, and one jurisdiction here licenses tree crews by name while neither state licenses the trade at all. Knowing which of those applies at a given address is most of what twenty years buys.

Our Approach

We start every job with a free on-site assessment, and the figure we quote is the figure in writing. Before a crew sets foot on your property you get proof of insurance, and before the saw comes out of the truck you know where the wood and the grindings are going — every stick leaves with us, so nothing ends up stacked at a curb your hauler will refuse to take. Where a tree can be kept, we say so: if cabling or pruning solves the problem, we price that instead of a removal and explain why.

We do not top trees. When somebody else offers to, we will show you on your own tree what topping actually does and what the standard-compliant alternative looks like. And when a tree genuinely is a hazard, you get a written condition assessment naming the defect and the target — something you can hand to a neighbor, an adjuster or an HOA board, rather than a number written on the back of a card. When a tree is on a roof, a car or a service line, we respond the same day.

What We Do

Our work covers the whole life of a tree and the end of it: arborist inspections and written tree risk assessments, tree trimming and pruning, emergency and storm damage tree removal, crane assisted tree removal on tight lots, stump grinding and stump removal, land and lot clearing, shrub, hedge and brush removal, tree disease treatment and plant health care, tree planting and transplanting, and property line and neighbor tree removal where the boundary is the complicated part. If you have a tree you are unsure about, ask us to come and look at it — the assessment is free and you will get a straight answer either way.
