Question 1

How much does tree removal cost in Kansas City?

Accepted Answer

Every job is different, so pricing depends on a few factors: the size and condition of the tree, how accessible it is, proximity to structures or power lines, and how much cleanup is involved. Rather than give you a ballpark that might not apply to your situation, we prefer to come out, look at the job in person, and give you a straightforward, no-obligation estimate. That way you know exactly what you're paying for with no surprises.

Question 2

Do you offer free estimates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every estimate is 100% free with no obligation. We'll come out to your property, assess the job, and provide a clear written estimate — typically the same day or within 24 hours. No pressure, no hidden fees.

Question 3

How fast can you get me on the schedule?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the time of year and our current workload, but we do our best to schedule jobs quickly. For standard tree trimming or removal, we can usually get you on the schedule within a week or two. For emergency situations, we move much faster. Give us a call and we'll let you know our current availability.

Question 4

Do you require payment upfront?

Accepted Answer

For most jobs, no deposit is required. Payment is due upon completion of the work, once you've had a chance to see the finished result. For larger projects, we may discuss a partial deposit to secure your spot on the schedule. We'll always be upfront about payment expectations before any work begins.

Question 5

What services do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer a full range of tree and property services including tree removal (safe removal of dead, damaged, or unwanted trees of any size), tree trimming and pruning (shaping, thinning, and maintaining healthy growth), stump grinding (removing stumps below ground level so you can reclaim your yard), brush and debris removal (clearing out overgrowth, fallen limbs, and storm debris), and junk removal. If you're not sure whether your project falls under what we do, just give us a call.

Question 6

Do you handle emergency tree removal?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If a tree has fallen on your home, is leaning dangerously, or a storm has left hazardous limbs hanging, call us right away. We understand that emergencies don't wait, and we'll do everything we can to get to you as quickly as possible to make your property safe.

Question 7

Do you clean up after the job is done?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Full cleanup is included with every job. We haul away all branches, logs, and debris so your property looks better than when we showed up. It's one of the things our customers mention most in their reviews, and it's something we take a lot of pride in.

Question 8

Can you remove a tree close to my house or power lines?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly handle removals near homes, fences, power lines, and other structures. Safety is our top priority, and we use careful rigging and cutting techniques to control exactly where every piece of the tree goes. We assess each situation before we start and walk you through our plan so you know what to expect.

Question 9

How often should I have my trees trimmed?

Accepted Answer

For most mature trees, every 3 to 5 years is a good rule of thumb. Younger or faster-growing trees may benefit from trimming every 1 to 3 years. Fruit trees generally need annual attention. If you notice dead branches, heavy leaning, or branches getting close to your roof or power lines, don't wait — give us a call and we'll take a look.

Question 10

What's the difference between tree trimming and tree removal?

Accepted Answer

Tree trimming is about maintaining a tree's health, shape, and safety. We remove dead, damaged, or overgrown branches while keeping the tree intact and looking great. Tree removal is when the entire tree needs to come down, whether it's dead, diseased, storm-damaged, or just in the wrong spot. We cut it down safely and haul everything away. Not sure which one you need? We'll come take a look and give you our honest recommendation.

Question 11

Are you licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Squirrel's Enemy LLC is fully licensed and insured. We carry general liability insurance to protect your property and our crew. This means you can have peace of mind knowing you're working with a legitimate, professional operation — not someone with just a chainsaw and a truck.

Question 12

How long have you been in business?

Accepted Answer

Every Squirrel's Enemy LLC has been serving Kansas City and the surrounding areas with professional tree care. Andrew, the owner, is hands-on with every project and has built the company on word-of-mouth referrals and repeat customers. Our reviews speak for themselves — 5 stars on Google and 100% recommended on Facebook.

Question 13

Will the owner be on-site during my job?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Andrew is personally involved in every project. From the initial estimate to the final cleanup, you're dealing directly with the owner — not a sales rep or a subcontractor. That's how we make sure every job meets our standards.

Question 14

What areas in Kansas City do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We serve the greater Kansas City metro area and surrounding communities. Whether you're in KC proper, the suburbs, or a nearby town, there's a good chance we can get to you. If you're not sure whether you're in our service area, just give us a call and we'll let you know right away.

Question 15

Do you work on commercial properties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We handle tree work for both residential and commercial properties. Whether it's a single tree in your backyard or a larger project for a business, apartment complex, or HOA, we've got the equipment and experience to handle it.

Question 16

Do I need to be home when you do the work?

Accepted Answer

It's not always necessary, but it can be helpful — especially if we need access through a gate or want to confirm details before we start. If you can't be there, we'll work it out ahead of time and keep you updated throughout the day so you know exactly what's happening.

Question 17

What happens to the wood and debris after removal?

Accepted Answer

We haul everything away as part of the job. Branches get chipped and logs get removed. If you want to keep the wood for firewood, just let us know and we're happy to leave it for you. Either way, your yard will be clean when we leave.

Question 18

How long does a typical job take?

Accepted Answer

Most tree trimming jobs take a few hours. Tree removals can range from a few hours to a full day depending on the size and complexity. We'll give you a time estimate upfront so you know what to plan for. We don't drag jobs out — when we show up, we work until it's done.

Question 19

What's the best time of year for tree work?

Accepted Answer

Tree removal can be done year-round. For trimming and pruning, late fall through early spring (the dormant season) is ideal for most species since there's less stress on the tree and it's easier to see the branch structure. That said, dead or hazardous branches should be taken care of anytime — don't wait for the "right" season if safety is a concern.
