Affordable, professional tree care for Columbia and mid-Missouri — led by ISA-certified arborists who treat your trees and your property with real respect.
Columbia Tree Co. is a local, owner-operated tree service rooted right here in Columbia, Missouri. Our owner, Mike, leads a team built around a simple idea: tree work should be affordable and professional, done by people who actually understand trees. That's why our work is guided by ISA-certified arborists and why we're members of both the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) and the American Society of Consulting Arborists (ASCA). Those credentials aren't just letters — they're the reason we can diagnose what's really wrong with a tree and recommend the right fix.
We're also fully licensed and insured, carrying both liability and workers' compensation coverage. That protects your property and our crew on every job, so you never take on risk by hiring us. Before any work begins, you get a free consultation and a detailed written contract that lays out scope, cost, and timing — no surprises, no pressure.
One thing we will never do is top a tree. Topping might look like a quick fix, but it harms a tree's health and structure and forces weak, hazardous regrowth. Instead, our arborists consider gentler options first — like proper pruning or cabling and bracing — and only recommend removal when a tree truly can't be saved. When the work is done, we clean up thoroughly and leave your property looking better than we found it. Useful wood doesn't go to waste, either: it becomes seasoned firewood or bulk mulch for the community.
From routine trimming to 24/7 emergency response after a thunderstorm, we're proud to be the tree service Columbia homeowners trust — and our 5.0-star rating from 7 Google reviews reflects it.
