From hazardous limb removal to full lot clearing, Greater Pitt Tree Service brings certified expertise, proper equipment, and thorough cleanup to every project across Affton, MO.
Our certified crew handles everything from single-tree removals to multi-acre land clearing projects. Every service is backed by ISA credentials and proper insurance.
Structurally compromised, storm-damaged, and disease-weakened trees require specialized removal techniques. Our ISA arborists assess failure risk, develop a removal plan, and execute it safely using proper rigging and crane equipment when necessary to protect your structures.
Hazardous Tree RemovalMaintaining proper crown clearance and balanced canopy structure protects your home, utility lines, and neighboring trees. Our trimmers use ANSI-compliant cutting techniques and proper collar cuts to encourage healthy regrowth while eliminating hazard points.
Tree TrimmingLeftover stumps create pest habitat, trip hazards, and visual eyesores. Our commercial grinding equipment reduces stumps below grade quickly and cleanly. We can also remove grindings and backfill the area to restore a level surface ready for seeding or sodding.
Stump Grinding RemovalDead trees deteriorate rapidly and pose serious hazards during storms. We identify internal decay that may not be visible from the ground, evaluate structural stability, and execute removal before the tree becomes an uncontrolled failure risk on your Affton, MO property.
Dead Tree RemovalPreparing a lot for development, agriculture, or landscaping requires efficient removal of all trees, stumps, brush, and root systems. We coordinate all phases of clearing work and can arrange disposal, hauling, and final grading coordination with your project contractor.
Lot ClearingTree disease spreads rapidly without proper diagnosis and treatment. Our arborists identify fungal infections, insect infestations, root rot, and environmental stressors through systematic examination. We develop treatment plans that address the root cause and stabilize the affected tree.
Tree Health DiseaseFor more than 20 years, Greater Pitt Tree Service has provided services to municipalities, commercial managers, and property owners in Affton, MO. With eight ISA-certified arborists on staff and a fleet of top-notch equipment, what started out as a modest residential tree removal business has expanded into a full-service tree care business.
Every job we take on reflects our core belief that tree care should be performed by credentialed professionals using proper methods. We do not rely on general laborers for complex removals. Our arborists are trained in tree risk assessment qualification protocols, rope rigging systems, integrated pest management, and soil science, which means your trees are evaluated as living biological systems, not just objects to cut down.
When you hire Greater Pitt Tree Service, you get full transparency from the first visit. Our estimators walk your property, identify every concern, and provide a written scope of work before any contract is signed. Work begins only when you fully understand and agree to the plan.

A certified arborist visits your site, evaluates tree conditions, identifies access points, and assesses any structural or safety concerns before pricing is discussed.
You receive a written project proposal with a clear itemized breakdown of all work, equipment, labor, and total cost. No ambiguous estimates and no verbal-only agreements.
On the scheduled day our fully equipped crew arrives on time, sets up perimeter protection, and completes the project using proven techniques suited to your specific tree and site conditions.

Tree removal pricing depends on factors including tree height, trunk diameter, canopy spread, proximity to structures, and site accessibility. A small to medium tree on an open lawn costs significantly less than a large tree growing near a roofline or power lines. We provide itemized written estimates after an on-site visit so you know exactly what you are paying for before any work begins. Contact us to schedule your assessment.
Yes. Greater Pitt Tree Service is a fully licensed tree service contractor and carries $2 million in general liability insurance plus workers compensation coverage for all crew members. Certificates of insurance can be provided before work begins. We strongly advise all property owners to verify insurance credentials before hiring any tree service company, as uninsured contractors leave you liable for any damage or injury that occurs on your property.
Permit requirements for tree removal vary by municipality and depend on the species, size, and location of the tree. Many jurisdictions in the Affton, MO area require permits for trees above a certain diameter or trees located within a certain distance of property lines or protected areas. Our team is familiar with local permit requirements and will advise you during the estimate process. When permits are required, we can assist with the application and documentation.
All branches, debris, and wood chips are removed from your property as a standard part of our service. Larger logs can be cut to firewood length and left on site at your request at no extra charge. Stump grindings can also be left for use as mulch or removed entirely. We rake and blow the work area before leaving and do a final inspection to confirm the site is clean to your satisfaction.
In many cases, yes. Our ISA-certified arborists evaluate the type and severity of disease, the percentage of canopy affected, the structural condition of the tree, and whether treatment has a realistic chance of reversing the decline. Common interventions include targeted fungicide applications, soil treatments, insect management, and corrective pruning. We recommend removal only when disease has progressed to the point where the tree poses a hazard or cannot realistically recover. We explain all options and let you make the informed decision.
