Did you know the landscaping around your house could increase your property’s value by up to 20%? We can help create a special outdoor experience for you and your guests. Creativity and maintenance are our two top priorities when drafting a landscape plan for you. We not only create landscapes, we maintain them too. As a landscape company, we can do as little as replacing a dead plant or creating a completely new outdoor experience for you. Our landscape crews complete extensive training, especially in regards to planting, pruning and maintenance. As a complete tree and plant health care company, we see so many problems with trees and most of them are due to incorrect planting. We always follow the “Right tree in the right place” motto and use correct spacing when designing a landscape. We have several ISA Certified Arborists, horticulturists, and landscape designers on staff if you need help or have any questions about your landscape.

The most important qualifications a tree care company should possess are education, experience, and insurance. Our employees are trained in accordance with ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standards to perform tree service to ensure the health and protection of your trees. We employ ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) Certified Arborists, experienced climbers, and experienced groundsmen who are trained to provide the most professional and quality tree care possible. Most homeowners are unaware of the great risks of hiring a tree service company without general liability insurance and worker's compensation insurance. A company possessing general liability insurance covers objects or structure on your property if they become damaged for any reason. Worker's compensation covers any injuries to the company’s employee. We recommend that you obtain a copy of a company’s Insurance Certificate and contact the insurance company prior to choosing a company.

We are equipped with the most up to date equipment and knowledgeable employees to make your tree care experience a safe and pleasant one. Our crews hold weekly safety meetings to ensure quality and to minimize the risk for accidents. These are just a few of the things that are required by the TCIA (Tree Care Industry Association) for Accredited Tree Service Companies such as us. There are only 6 companies in the state of Missouri to have this credential. Hiring a company without these qualifications could put you, your home, automobile, landscape and checkbook at great risks.

We provide deadwooding, corrective pruning, crown thinning, crown raising, crown cleaning and removals. When it comes to having a tree removed, you have many options to consider. You may choose from hauling or not hauling the debris and wood or to have it cut into 18-24" lengths. After the tree is removed, a stump is normally left at ground level or we can grind it out for you. After grinding a stump there will be a mound of woodchips left. We can leave the chips, haul the chips to ground level, or completely remove the chips and fill the hole with topsoil. We can also re-seed, sod, or plant a new tree for you in that place. The wood chips are very acidic and some plants do not like acidic soil, so be careful when using them.

Allen's Tree Service also recycles 100% of our green and wood waste materials to reduce the amount of debris in landfills. We produce mulch and organic compost (no human waste).
