Tree Removal in Mexico

Mexico is a city of about 11,000 in Audrain County, roughly 40 miles northeast of Columbia on US-54. It was historically a major saddle horse breeding center and still carries that agricultural heritage. The town has a solid stock of late 19th and early 20th century homes around its historic downtown. Mature trees are common throughout the older residential areas. It has its own economy and isn't primarily a commuter community.

A big tree leaning toward your house after a storm is not something you want to leave until morning. Columbia sits right in the path of strong spring thunderstorms that roll across mid-Missouri, and those storms bring straight-line winds that can crack a mature oak without much warning. The heavy clay soil here also makes trees more likely to topple — roots can't grip wet clay the way they grip sandy or rocky ground, so a tree that looks fine in dry weather can lean or fall after a week of soaking rain.

We start with an on-site look at the tree before we quote anything — no guessing from photos, no flat-rate pricing over the phone. Once we know the size, what's below it, and how tight the space is, we plan the cut so the wood lands where it won't damage your fence, your neighbor's yard, or anything else nearby.
