« Had the team come out to assess a couple of trees that looked unhealthy. They spent time explaining what they found, showed me the signs of disease, and gave me realistic options without pushing me toward unnecessary work. Really appreciated the honest advice. »
Arborist Consultation
« Our hedge along the front of the house was completely overgrown and blocking the porch. These guys shaped it back beautifully, clean lines, even height, and they hauled away every branch. Looks like a whole new yard. »
Hedge Trimming & Shrub Care
« We needed to clear about a quarter acre of brush and small trees to prep our property for fencing. The crew showed up with equipment, worked efficiently, and left the site ready to go. No debris left behind. Solid work. »
Land Clearing
« That old oak stump in our backyard had been sitting there for years. They ground it down completely, you'd never know it was there now. The cleanup was thorough and they finished in about an hour. »
Stump Grinding
« A large oak in our backyard was leaning toward the house and we were nervous about it coming down. The crew safely removed the entire tree, took it down in sections, and cleaned up everything. Professional from start to finish. »
Tree Removal
« Our big oak was getting too heavy and branches were hanging over the roof. They pruned it back carefully, shaped it up, and made sure nothing was rubbing against the house anymore. The difference is night and day. »
Tree Trimming & Pruning
« Needed some young trees trimmed up to improve the shape and health. The team was knowledgeable about proper pruning technique and didn't just hack them up like some places do. »
Tree Trimming & Pruning
« Storm knocked down a massive tree across our driveway and we were stuck. Called Lexington Tree Service and they got someone out the same day. Had us cleared and back to normal faster than we expected. Couldn't have asked for better service in a pinch. »

Lexington Tree Service is your trusted local partner for professional tree care throughout Lexington, Kentucky and the surrounding region. Whether you're a homeowner searching for tree service near me in Lexington, or you're located in Nicholasville, Georgetown, Richmond, or Winchester, our team brings years of expertise and a commitment to safety on every job. We understand the unique landscape of Central Kentucky, where mature oaks, maples, pines, and cedars thrive on residential properties, in HOA communities, and near structures that require careful, professional handling.
From routine maintenance to urgent situations, Lexington Tree Service delivers comprehensive solutions tailored to your property's needs. Our licensed and insured crew handles everything from routine care to complex removals, and we're here to answer your questions and provide a free estimate whenever you need us. Call us at (859) 710-1736 to discuss your tree service needs today.
Tree removal is one of the most critical services we provide, and it's often urgent. Whether a mature oak is threatening your roof, a storm has snapped branches overhead, or a fallen tree is blocking your driveway or resting against your vehicle, the risks are real and demand immediate professional attention. Large trees on residential lots can pose serious hazards, especially when they're damaged, diseased, or positioned near power lines and structures. Waiting for the right contractor in these situations can turn a manageable problem into a dangerous one.
Lexington Tree Service offers 24/7 emergency tree service for exactly these scenarios. When storm damage strikes, when a tree has fallen on your home or vehicle, or when hazardous hanging limbs threaten safety, our team responds quickly with the equipment and expertise to handle the job safely and efficiently. We manage everything from initial assessment to complete debris removal, and we work directly with your insurance company when applicable. In an emergency, call (859) 710-1736 immediately, and we'll dispatch a crew to your property as soon as possible.
Beyond emergencies, we also handle planned removals for trees that are simply no longer wanted or needed on your property. Whether you're clearing space for new construction, removing a tree that conflicts with your landscaping vision, or addressing a species that doesn't suit your lot, we'll discuss your goals, assess the tree, and provide a detailed plan. Our licensed and insured approach ensures the job is done right, with minimal disruption to your yard and no surprises. Get a free estimate for your removal project.
Tree service costs in Lexington vary based on several factors, including the size and species of the tree, how easily we can access it, its proximity to your home or other structures, and the full scope of work involved. A small removal may cost considerably less than taking down a large mature oak near your roof, and stump grinding, debris hauling, and site cleanup can add to the total investment. Rather than guessing, we recommend requesting a pricing consultation so you understand exactly what to expect for your specific situation.
Beyond removal and emergency response, Lexington Tree Service excels at keeping your landscape healthy and attractive. Stump grinding removes unsightly stumps and opens up yard space after a tree comes down. Tree trimming and pruning during the dormant season reduces disease risk and promotes healthy growth, while hedge trimming and shrub care keeps your landscape polished. For larger projects, we also offer land clearing and arborist consultation services to guide long-term tree health decisions.
Tree removal in Lexington and surrounding areas may require a permit depending on the tree's size, species, and location on your property. Many cities in Kentucky have ordinances protecting heritage trees like oaks and other mature species, and HOA communities often require approval before visible removals. Property line considerations also matter, especially if a neighbor's tree is overhanging your lot. Rather than navigate these rules alone, Lexington Tree Service can advise you on the permit process and help ensure your project complies with local requirements. Contact us for guidance, and we'll help clarify what applies to your specific situation.
