01. How do I know if a tree needs to be removed?
If you’re unsure, our arborist can perform a tree risk assessment and explain whether pruning, cabling, or removal is safest for your home.
02. Can you remove trees near power lines or homes?
03. What happens to the wood and debris after the job?
We also offer wood-chipping and mulch-return options if you’d like to reuse the material on your own property.
04. Is your crew licensed, insured, and professionally trained?
Our team members receive ongoing safety and rigging training through ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) standards, so you’re protected on every job.
05. Will my yard or property be damaged during tree work?
Every job is planned to prevent contact with fences, siding, driveways, or flower beds. We also perform a full walk-through cleanup before leaving so your yard looks better than when we arrived.
06. How often should trees be trimmed or inspected?
Younger or fast-growing trees may need annual shaping. We recommend a yearly inspection for older or storm-exposed trees to catch decay early.

What our happy clients say about us
Serving commercial and residential clients since 1982 across Des Moines and a 75-mile radius. Homeowners and property managers trust us year after year because of our honest work, dependable crews, and clean, professional results.
"These guys did an amazing job trimming my 50 plus year old trees. They look amazing! Besides that, my front tree lost a large limb in last week’s storm & they got here the same day that I called them & had it cut down & cleaned up by noon even when they were so busy with storm damage. They are great to work with & want to make sure you are satisfied. Thank you so much Rod!"
“These guys were great to work with. Very friendly and professional. They did a great job, and I will happily send people your way for services. Rod was out there working along side the other guys in the crew. They were quick and left the work area nice and cleaned up for future use.”
“I have never seen a tree crew as organized, quick, thorough and respectful as Top Notch. They took down our mature but dying maple yesterday in short order and with no way to tell they'd even been here. (Other than the missing tree!) We have a partially fenced yard and no way to move any equipment in. With all their specialized equipment it was no problem! We are very grateful to Rod for noticing our tree from the street to begin with and knocking on our door to talk to us about how bad it actually was. You won't regret going with Top Notch!”
