Tree Service Throughout Lawrence
We've worked across Lawrence for years. From the historic University of Kansas area to newer subdivisions on the edges of town. Common job sites include Old West Lawrence, East Lawrence, Brook Creek, Pinckney, KU campus area, west Lawrence subdivisions.
Lawrence's tree mix is dominated by bur oak, pin oak, silver maple, honey locust, hackberry, and Eastern redcedar. The same mix as the rest of Greater Topeka. The same regional issues apply: emerald ash borer killing untreated ash trees, oak wilt on red and pin oaks, pine wilt nematode on non-native pines, and surface-root damage from compacted clay-loam soils.
Severe weather hits Douglas County hard across multiple seasons. Ice storms (December 2007, 2017, and recent 2024-2025 events) drop limbs and split silver maples. Tornadoes and derechos (most notably the 1966 Topeka F5 and the 2018 Shawnee County EF-3) cause sudden whole-tree failures. We work with dozens of homeowners and adjusters in Lawrence after every major event.
We dispatch from Greater Topeka and typically reach Lawrence addresses within hours for routine quotes and same-day for emergencies. Most Lawrence tree service quotes are returned within 2 business hours.

Local. Not Storm Chasers
We're a Topeka company. We work in Lawrence year-round, not just after ice storms and derechos. We don't show up in magnetic-sign trucks after a storm and disappear when the work runs out. We're here in July when nothing's broken, and we'll be here next July too.

What Topeka Homeowners Say
"A massive silver maple split during an ice storm and dropped a scaffold across our driveway. They had a crew there in two hours, dealt directly with our adjuster, and our yard was clean by the next day. Calm, professional, and fairly priced."Sarah K.Westboro
"Got three quotes for removing two big pines too close to the house. They weren't the cheapest, but they were the only ones who showed me actual insurance certificates and answered every technical question. Worth every dollar."Mike R.Auburn
"Hired them to do storm-prep pruning on four bur oaks before tornado season. They explained why they wouldn't "top" the trees and what proper pruning actually looks like. We didn't lose a single limb during the May derecho."Linda T.Lawrence
