Our Story: Military Precision Meets Arboricultural Science
Founded by arborist Kevin Ferree, Abba's Arbor Care LLC brings disciplined safety protocols, certified equipment, and botanical preservation expertise to residential and commercial properties throughout the Kansas City metropolitan area.
Integrity, Punctuality & Zero Property Damage Guarantee
When Kevin Ferree established Abba's Arbor Care LLC, his goal was to eliminate the reckless shortcuts, unpredictable pricing, and damaged landscaping that too often plague tree contracting. Drawing on years of military service, Kevin instituted strict standard operating procedures: daily equipment inspections, aerial hazard surveys, and documented rigging calculations.
Across Kansas City's established neighborhoods—from the massive mature pin oaks of Brookside to the towering silver maples of Independence—trees present intricate structural challenges. Many canopies hang directly over slate roofs, historical chimneys, detached garages, and overhead power conductors. We treat every tree removal as a surgical engineering task, using dynamic rigging lines and mechanical advantage systems rather than allowing unrestrained gravity drops.
Equally central to our mission is scientific tree conservation. We view tree removal as the necessary last resort. If an aging oak or declining walnut can be safely retained through crown thinning, deadwood removal, or deep root fertilization, our arborists provide honest assessments rather than pushing unnecessary removals.
“We are a Veteran owned and operated company, we take pride in our ability to provide quality tree care which include stump grinding, tree removal, tree trimming and pruning and pest/disease diagnosing.”
The Four Cornerstones of Our Arborist Practice
Every cut, climb, and client relationship reflects our unwavering commitment to veteran discipline and botanical stewardship.
Calculated Precision
We calculate tree centers of gravity, structural tension, and fall trajectories before chainsaws ever begin cut sequences.
$2,000,000 Insurance
Full commercial general liability and workers' compensation coverage protecting your home, family, and adjoining properties.
ANSI Standard Pruning
Strict adherence to ANSI A300 crown care and ANSI Z133 safety mandates. We never top trees, create flush cuts, or cause lion-tailing.
Immaculate Cleanup
Every branch, twig, and woodchip is chipped and hauled away. We rake turf, blow off walkways, and leave your property immaculate.
Equipped for High-Risk Urban Removals
Handling 80-foot hazardous trees over Kansas City properties requires industrial-grade machinery, certified aerial apparatus, and meticulous maintenance schedules. Our fleet stationed at our 5624 E 36th Terrace yard includes high-reach forestry bucket units, Vermeer commercial stump cutters, high-volume wood chippers, and turf-protection trailers.
Proudly Caring for Kansas City's Urban Forest
From Jackson County and Kansas City core neighborhoods to Independence, Raytown, Lee's Summit, Grandview, Blue Springs, Liberty, and Gladstone, our crews are mobilized 24 hours a day. Whether you need planned seasonal canopy thinning or urgent storm clearing, we deliver dependable local service backed by certified arborist leadership.
