Frequently asked questions

How do I choose the best tree removal company in Des Moines?

Verify insurance, ask about equipment and crew experience with your specific tree, and get the estimate in writing before any work starts. Specifically:


  • Ask for a certificate of insurance naming both general liability and workers’ compensation. If a worker is injured on your property and the company carries no workers’ comp, the liability can land on your homeowners policy. 
  • Confirm the company owns the equipment the job needs. A large tree over a structure may require a crane; a company that subcontracts one adds cost and coordination risk. 
  • Get a written, itemized estimate covering removal, debris haul-off, and stump grinding separately, because stump grinding is frequently quoted as an add-on after the fact. 
  • Ask what happens to the debris. Haul-away should be stated explicitly, not assumed.
  • Check reviews that mention cleanup and follow-through, not just the felling itself. That is where most tree service complaints originate. 
  • Be cautious with door-knockers after a storm. Storm-chasing crews from out of state are common in Iowa after severe weather and are often uninsured and unreachable afterward. 
Central Tree Pros is a locally owned, fully insured company operating since 2018, and we provide written estimates at no cost.
Yes. We specialize in large and mature tree removal across Iowa, Indiana, and Illinois, including trees in tight access areas, over structures, and near power lines. Large removals are handled by sectional dismantling, crane-assisted lifts, or bucket trucks depending on the tree’s size, condition, and surroundings. A compromised or storm-damaged tree is often unsafe to climb and is taken down by crane instead. Every large removal begins with an on-site assessment of lean, decay, root condition, and drop zone.
Hire a fully insured company with crane capability and documented experience removing trees near structures, not a general landscaper. A hazardous tree near a house has no margin for error: the removal has to account for internal decay you cannot see from the ground, an unpredictable failure point, and a drop zone that includes your roof, gutters, siding, fence, and utility connections. Central Tree Pros removes hazardous and structurally compromised trees throughout Iowa, Indiana, and Illinois, and offers 24/7 response when a tree becomes an immediate threat.
