Tree service in Raymore
We are McCormick's Property Maintenance, a tree service working on yards and lots here in town, from removal and trimming to stumps, storm calls and clearing.
Most calls start with one tree: a dead ash leaning at the garage, a maple shedding limbs onto the drive, a stump in the path of a new fence. Where the tree stands close to a house we bring it down in pieces, each one roped to the ground rather than dropped. The trees worth keeping get pruned the way a tree heals from, the stump gets ground below the turf, and brush and scrub come off a lot so it is ready to build on or fence.
Tell us what you see on the phone, and we come out, walk the yard with you and look at what is under and around the tree before we put a price on anything.
The tree work we do
Each kind of tree work below has its own page with how the job runs.
-
Tree removal
Tree removal takes a standing tree down, in sections where there is something to miss, and chips or hauls what comes down. Where a tree on your property stands over a roof, a fence or a line, each piece comes down on a rope with "controlled rigging" instead of a free drop.

Tree trimming and pruning
Trimming takes dead, crossing and overhanging limbs with cuts that keep a living tree sound. We cut just outside the branch collar so the tree closes over the wound, and "deadwood removal" on a tree over your property takes the limb before it comes down on its own.

Stump grinding
Stump grinding cuts a stump to chips below the lawn so grass closes over the spot. The grinder rolls through a yard gate, and the stump on your property leaves as a pile of chips that fills its own hole.

Stump and root removal
Stump removal digs out the stump and its root ball where a footing, a bed or a new tree needs the ground clear. It is the heavier of the stump jobs, so we suggest it only where the stump on your property is in the way of something you want to build or plant.

Emergency tree service after storms
A tree on a roof, a car, a drive or a line after a storm is emergency work, done once the power is off and the scene is safe. A downed line is a job for the utility first, and then we take the weight off whatever the tree on your property is resting on before anything else is cut.

Arborist assessments
An arborist assessment reads a tree's health and risk before anyone decides to prune, treat or remove it. A "tree risk assessment" is where a property with a leaning tree, a hollow trunk or soil heaving at the base should start, and it tells you which maintenance the tree needs, if any.

Land clearing
Land clearing takes trees, brush and stumps off a lot or acreage for a build, a fence line or pasture. We clear the land you mark on the property and leave the trees you want standing.

Forestry mulching
Forestry mulching grinds brush and small trees into a mulch layer where they stand, with nothing hauled. The property is left covered instead of bare, so it holds with little maintenance afterward and nothing goes on a burn pile.

Got a tree you are worried about?
Tell us what you see and we come out and look at it with you. The estimate is free, and it covers the whole job from the first cut to the last rake.
How a visit runs
A call is followed by a look at the tree, a quote for the job, the work and the cleanup.
- Call
Tell us what the tree is doing and where it stands. We answer, or call back the same working day.
- Look at the tree
We come out, walk the yard with you and check what is under and around it: the roof, the fence, the lines, the gate we have to fit through.
- Quote
You get one price for the whole job before we start, with no surprise charges after.
- The work
The crew shows up when we said it would. The crew does what the quote says, start to finish, and nothing you did not ask for.
- Cleanup
Wood and brush are chipped or hauled off, and the lawn and the drive are raked before we leave.
What the price depends on
A tree job's price follows the tree's size, its lean, what sits under it and the access to reach it.
A tall tree over a roof that has to come down one roped piece at a time is more work than the same tree in an open field, and a stump in a tight back corner takes a smaller machine and more time. Storm damage work usually runs above a scheduled job, because a broken or "uprooted tree" takes more care to handle than one standing on its own roots.
We give no figure over the phone, because the tree and what is under it decide the number. The estimate is free, and the cost guide explains what sets a removal's cost and why.
what tree removal costsWhat customers say
Peyton and his crew were amazing to work with. They removed a very large tree from my backyard that was near houses. They got it out safely and fast. Would definitely hire him again!!
Peyton responded to bid request very quickly and completed work as promised. I would use his services again and high recommend him for any tree service and stump removal.
Peyton and Nick are hard working individuals who get the job done right. Besides working for us I have seen many jobs they have been completed and everything is top notch. Would highly recommend their services!!!!!
Caring for your trees between visits
Missouri's state conservation agency publishes tree care and pruning guidance for backyard trees, the place to start between visits.
The Missouri Department of Conservation, Tree Care pages cover how to care for and prune the trees in a backyard and when to bring in an arborist. Read them before you pick up a saw, and leave the limbs over the house and the ones near a line to a crew with ropes.
What we look for on a visit is what you should watch for between them: dead limbs still hanging in the crown, a trunk going hollow, a lean that is new, and soil lifting at the base of the tree. Any of those is a reason to call before the next storm rather than after it.
The towns around us
We take tree work in the towns around us, listed on the service area page with their distances.
Home is here in Cass County, and the service area reaches into Jackson County, about 23 miles out, so a job past that line is a question for the call.
