OUR SERVICES

Our Tree Services in Des Moines, IA & Surrounding Areas

Over 40 Years of Trusted Local Experience. Safe. Skilled. Precise.

At Top Notch Tree Care, we do more than just cut trees: we protect homes, improve curb appeal, and keep Iowa yards and lots safe year-round. For over four decades, our family-owned, fully insured company has provided professional tree services across Des Moines, West Des Moines, Urbandale, Clive, Ankeny, and nearby communities.

We use the right tools for every job – cranes, aerial lifts, stump grinders, and low-impact loaders – to complete difficult work without damaging your yard. Every project is done safely, precisely, and with complete cleanup before we leave.

Tree Trimming

Proper trimming helps trees live longer and stay stronger. Our arborists follow national standards for trimming, ensuring clean cuts that promote growth and reduce hazards.

Tree Pruning

We specialize in maintaining strong, healthy trees through expert pruning practices that promote balanced growth, prevent breakage, and protect homes and yards from seasonal storm damage.

Storm Damage Cleanup

Broken or leaning trees can put your family and property at risk. We handle the entire cleanup from cutting to hauling and inspection to prevent future problems.

Tree Removal

Sometimes a tree simply has to go. Whether it’s diseased, leaning toward a home, or damaged by storms, our team performs controlled removals that keep your home, fence, and yard intact.

Emergency Tree Service

When severe weather strikes, quick action prevents bigger problems. Our emergency crews are on call around the clock to clear fallen trees, open blocked driveways, and remove hazards safely.

Lot Clearing

From backyard expansions to multi-acre developments, our land clearing service prepares sites safely and efficiently. We remove unwanted trees, shrubs, and debris while preserving healthy trees.
