About Crestwood Tree Service
Personal service for small jobs and unusual jobs in South County & West County
Personal Service from an Owner You Can Trust
Chris McKenna, Owner - When you call Crestwood Tree Service, you're dealing directly with the owner at all times. No middlemen, no confusion about who's in charge of your project.
We specialize in small jobs and unusual jobs - the kind that larger tree services often turn down or don't have time for. Whether it's a tight backyard where bucket trucks can't go, a private estate with a winding driveway, or simply a small tree that needs removal, we're here to help.
Working primarily alone, we take pride in providing prompt service with thorough cleanup. Weekend work is available to fit your schedule, and if you're home at the time of the estimate, it may be possible to do the work right then upon your approval.
Company name is clearly displayed on all vehicles. As a non-smoker, you'll never find cigarette butts left on your property.

How to Choose a Tree Service
With nearly 100 tree services in the St. Louis area, here's what to consider
1. Location of the Tree
If it's in the backyard or somewhere a bucket truck can't reach, call Crestwood Tree Service for a bid.
2. Size of the Job
We specialize in trees up to 18" diameter. If it's larger, one of the bigger tree services might be a better fit.
3. Insurance Protection
Always ask for a Certificate of Insurance showing Tree Service Liability coverage. Don't hesitate to call the agent to verify the policy is still in force. Cheaper now isn't always better later.
4. Meet the Owner
With Crestwood Tree Service, you deal directly with the owner at all times. You'll know exactly who is working on your property.
5. Your Driveway
Our Ford E250 van, F250 pickup, and small 6" chipper won't damage your driveway like heavy trucks and large chippers can.
6. Parking & Access
Do you have a long winding driveway, live on a cul-de-sac, or have limited parking? If a large truck towing a chipper couldn't turn around, call us.
7. The Written Estimate
Is it specifically and clearly worded? It's a legal document that should be written with care and professionalism.
8. Discount Options
We offer discounts for keeping your own firewood logs or chips. Options to save money by doing part of the work yourself.
9. Seasonal Pricing
Consider having work done between November and early March when weather permits - this is the slow season and you may get a better price.
10. Customer Satisfaction
We never ask for payment until you're happy with the work. Don't pay others in advance - too often they'll stop before the work is finished.
