When severe Midwest winds or ice bring down mature limbs in Kansas City, immediate safety decisions dictate property protection and claim success. Follow this strict 4-step sequence before authorizing cutting.
Establish an immediate exclusion zone. Move everyone beyond the potential fall perimeter. Never walk beneath a suspended limb, climb on a storm-loaded trunk, or attempt to move branches while tensions are unresolved.
Stay at least 35 feet away from any wire touching trees or ground. Never treat a downed electrical line as dead. Call Evergy first—our arborist crews coordinate and cut only after the utility certifies the electrical hazard is safe.
Take wide-angle and close-up photos from a safe distance before moving debris. Capture the point of trunk failure, roof or gutter impacts, fences, and weather context for your insurance adjuster’s Xactimate audit.
Call Abba's Arbor Care LLC at (855) 615-0568. We stabilize dangerous hanging loads, seal structural openings, and separate immediate stabilization from later stump grinding.
Match your exact storm damage scenario to the safe immediate response, responsible agency, and certified arborist procedure.

Kansas City has established a 35% urban tree canopy goal. We believe in preserving healthy heritage hardwoods through biological care, diagnosing local threats, and respecting strict Missouri seasonal pruning windows.
Routine oak pruning should be strictly avoided from mid-March through June. Sap-feeding nitidulid beetles are attracted to fresh cuts and carry lethal fungal spores that kill white and pin oaks.
EAB makes ash wood dangerously brittle before leaves show total dieback. Brittle ash limbs snap unexpectedly under light ice or wind. We diagnose canopy vigor to provide emamectin benzoate trunk injections or safe crane removals.
Kansas City municipal guidelines strictly reject tree topping, tipping, or flush cutting. Topping starves root systems, induces rot cavities, and produces weakly attached water sprouts that fail during Midwestern thunderstorms.

"During the severe thunderstorm in early May, an 80-year-old silver maple snapped and landed directly on our master bedroom roof. Kevin and the Abba's Arbor Care team responded within 45 minutes. Their crane rigging was like military precision—not a single extra shingle was damaged. Truly grateful for their professionalism."
"We had two massive green ash trees killed by emerald ash borer close to our driveway and children's swing set. Abba's Arbor Care dismantled both trees with aerial equipment without dropping a single heavy limb on our fence. Spotless cleanup and fair pricing!"
"Kevin Ferree is the real deal. He took the time to explain ANSI A300 pruning and why topping our pin oaks would ruin them. His crew thinned the canopy so wind moves right through it, and my lawn is finally getting sunlight. Best arborist in Jackson County."
"Had three enormous oak stumps left over from winter storm damage. Abba's brought in a commercial track grinder and pulverized them 10 inches below grade. They backfilled the holes and raked everything smooth. Outstanding work ethic."
"As a veteran myself, I deeply appreciate the military discipline, punctual communication, and uncompromising safety standards of Abba's Arbor Care. Removing a leaning oak on a steep limestone bluff was challenging, but their technical rigging was flawless."
"Working with our insurance company after a tree fell on our garage was daunting until Abba's Arbor Care stepped in. Their detailed photo log and line-item scope made our claim process completely painless. Full reimbursement received!"
