Expert Tree Removal in Pleasant Hill, MO

Tree removal in Pleasant Hill means working around mature trees on established residential lots, tight fence lines, and properties where access can be limited. Riffle Landscaping & Tree Service removes trees that are hazardous, diseased, storm-damaged, or simply in the wrong spot on your property. We serve homeowners across Pleasant Hill, Lee's Summit, and Blue Springs. The Kansas City area sees strong storm seasons, and trees weakened by wind, root damage, or pests like the emerald ash borer often reach a point where removal is the only safe option. Our owner grew up doing hard physical work from an early age, and that foundation carries into every job we take on. We assess the tree, plan the removal to protect your yard and structures, take the tree down in sections when needed, and clear the debris when we're done. If you have a tree that's concerning you, contact us to get a quote.

These guys are amazing! Our neighbors had them out to remove a tree, and I wandered over to see about getting a quote for some tree work we needed done. We had gotten about 5 or 6 different quotes before I asked them, and I'm so glad I did! They were by far the most competitive bid we received. Not only that, but they were quick, efficient, and I swear they left our yard better than it was when they arrived. We had them remove one tree and clean up 3 others. He dropped by for a second look before finalizing the quote, and when I asked for scheduling, he said, "How about Thursday?" They showed up right at 8am and managed to finish all 4 trees by 4 pm. They did an excellent job with cleanup, and even took care of some piles of brush that we had set aside to deal with at an undetermined point in the future. They had to remove part of our fence in order to remove the tree in the back yard, and we never expected them to attempt putting it back together. We told them multiple times that it was going to be replaced this spring and so it was completely fine to take it down. Before we could tell them not to worry about it, they were trying to reconstruct a 40 year old, janky fence. Would definitely use these guys again in the future!

Excellent job putting rock border around our pool! Very prompt when asking for a quote & got the job done a week later. Great communication. They came a day early & got the entire job done in one day.

Tommy did an exceptional job of rebuilding 130 ft of retaining walls for me. The original builder did not build the original ones correctly and they were not level and leaning. Tommy and his crew tore down the original walls and rebuilt them properly. There construction was done correctly with a french drain behind the wall at the base followed by backfilling with clean gravel and installed a geogrid to anchor the wall permanently in place. I would absolutely have them tackle any projects I have in the future.

Tommy and his team did a fantastic job on our new landscaping. From design to final product, we could not be more thrilled with how everything went!! It was SO hot, over 100 degrees, when they started and stayed and worked in the heat all day! Needless to say, we are beyond pleased and love the whole process.
