Trusted Tree Care Company

Professional tree care starts with understanding the tree and the property around it. We assess damaged or overhanging limbs, tree structure, access, nearby roofs, power lines, and other potential hazards before deciding whether trimming, pruning, removal, or another approach is appropriate.

Our crews use specialized equipment, climbing and rigging skills, and practical techniques for difficult-access work. Careful planning helps protect homes, landscaping, patios, and other property features while keeping the work controlled, safe, and efficient.

Our Tree Care Services

Tree care professional trimming a tree

Tree Trimming

Tree trimming helps control growth, improve appearance, and address hazardous limbs that extend toward roofs, power lines, or other parts of your property. Careful trimming can also help maintain a safer, more manageable tree structure while reducing branches that create problems around your home.

Tree pruning work near a Lawrence home

Tree Pruning

Tree pruning focuses on the health, structure, and shape of your trees. Removing selected branches can improve airflow and help maintain a stronger, better-shaped tree. Pruning is more deliberate than general trimming, with attention to which branches should be removed and how the tree should develop.

Controlled tree removal using professional rigging

Tree Removal

When a tree becomes dead, dying, unhealthy, dangerous, or simply unwanted, removal may be the safest option. Our crews handle tree removal around homes, roofs, landscaping, and other property features, including difficult situations where careful planning and specialized equipment are needed.

Stump Grinding

After a tree is removed, the remaining stump and surface roots can interfere with lawn maintenance, landscaping, and everyday use of your property. Stump grinding removes the visible stump below the surrounding surface, helping clear the area and making future landscaping or maintenance easier.

Land clearing equipment working on an overgrown property

Land Clearing

Land clearing services can prepare overgrown or wooded property for a new use while improving the condition of outdoor spaces. We handle land and lot clearing, vegetation removal, and selective thinning, helping property owners manage unwanted growth and create more usable areas.

Brush and debris hauling service

Brush Hauling

Tree work and property clearing can leave behind branches, brush, and other debris that needs to be removed. Brush and debris hauling helps clear these materials from your property after tree work or clearing projects, leaving the area more usable and easier to maintain.

Forest Keepers crane assisting with a difficult tree removal

Tree Crane Service

Large trees and difficult removals sometimes require equipment beyond standard climbing and cutting methods. Our crane has an articulating, extensible boom with a reach of more than 90 feet and a lifting capacity greater than 10,000 pounds, allowing controlled handling of large logs in tight quarters.

Tree cabling and bracing hardware

Tree Cabling & Bracing

Tree cabling and bracing can provide additional support where a tree or its branches have structural concerns. This service can help address vulnerable areas that need reinforcement, with the specific approach determined by the condition and structure of the tree and the surrounding property.

Technical tree rigging ropes used for controlled tree work

Tree Rigging

Technical rigging helps control branches and logs during difficult tree work, particularly when sensitive property sits below or nearby. Our experience includes challenging hanging or broken limbs around landscaping, water features, patios, and outbuildings, allowing difficult pieces to be handled with greater control.

Forest Keepers emergency tree service response

Emergency Tree Service

Storm damage, wind, ice, decay, and fallen trees can create urgent hazards around a property. Our 24-hour emergency tree service helps address unexpected tree problems when they cannot wait for routine scheduling. We can assist with fallen or hazardous trees and other urgent tree-care needs.

Forest Keepers did a great job at trimming back dead limbs, while retaining the beauty of three Redwood trees. Mike discussed various options, gave a reasonable price and was able to do the work even earlier than expected. I will definitely contact Forest Keepers in the future and have already referred them to friends.

Forest Keepers did a great job for us removing a large overhanging burr oak and part of maple. For starters, I contaced 3 tree service companies. One said we lived too far from his location, another never got back with us, and Forest Keepers showed up the next day. Their estimate was acceptable and they said the schedule had about a month's wait. They were here and gone within that window of time. Their equipment was top notch and everyone was skillful. We actually had a little more work planned but Mike cautioned that trimming our oak grees in the summer would expose them to a fungus. When things were cleaned up, there was hardly a stray leaf. Highly recommend. Mike and Shem were professional and helpful.

Had a forty foot willow removed. The team showed up on time, made short work of the tree, and were super quick. They were the first quote I got, and the best. Would highly recommend for tree removal in Lawrence

We have used Forest Keepers 3 times so far. This last time was the removal of a very large tree. They are very impressive to watch. I definitely recommend them. They are nice to work with and are so efficient.

I have used Forest Keepers three to four times over the past five years to remove dead and fallen trees from my property. They consistently provide the best pricing and do an outstanding job. They are always my first call for tree care services, and I highly recommend them to anyone else looking for quality work.

Mike and the crew were great from start to finish! They did work for my neighbor so I called for an estimate and they came out a few days later and bid my job at the best price out of 2 other companies I had come out. They took out 2 trees and were fast and efficient and cleaned up the mess after they were done. I would recommend them for any job you might need.
