“Had the arborist come out to assess a big oak tree that wasn't looking so great. He was really thorough, spent time examining the trunk and branches, and gave us a detailed breakdown of what was wrong and what options we had. Honestly felt a lot better knowing exactly what we were dealing with instead of just guessing.”
Arborist Consultation
“The crew showed up and completely transformed our front entrance hedges in just a couple hours. They were overgrown and messy before, but now they're shaped nicely and actually frame the house like they're supposed to. Plus they cleaned up every last clipping without being asked.”
Hedge Trimming & Shrub Care
“We needed a section of our property cleared out for some drainage work we had planned. The team came in, removed all the brush and smaller trees, and left the site ready to go. They were efficient and didn't leave any debris scattered around.”
Land Clearing
“After we had a tree removed, we were stuck with this ugly stump right in the middle of the yard. Billings Tree Service ground it down completely and the whole thing was done in less than an hour. The area looks level now and we can actually use that part of the yard again.”
Stump Grinding
“Needed to clear out a residential lot before we started some work on it. The crew came out with their equipment and cleared everything we needed removed, trees, brush, the whole nine yards. They left the property clean and ready to work with.”
Land Clearing
“Called them in spring to get our backyard trees trimmed up and shaped for the season. The difference was night and day, they removed all the dead wood and overgrown branches, and now the trees look healthy and balanced. The crew was careful not to damage anything else in the yard.”
Tree Trimming & Pruning
“We weren't sure if a young tree we planted was going to make it, so we had them send out an arborist to take a look. Turned out it just needed some care advice, which they gave us for free.”
Arborist Consultation
“Our big backyard tree was getting out of hand and dropping branches all over the place. The team pruned it back really well, removed the problem limbs, and made sure it's structurally sound now. They even hauled away all the branches they cut, didn't leave us with a mess to deal with.”

Billings Tree Service is your trusted local partner for professional tree care throughout Billings, Montana and the surrounding communities. We understand the unique challenges that Billings' diverse landscape presents, from the mature shade trees lining the North Elevation's historic boulevards to the younger plantings spreading across the Heights and newer subdivisions to the west.
The Yellowstone River valley's distinct climate, soil conditions, and mix of species require specialized knowledge and equipment. That's why Billings homeowners trust us for everything from routine maintenance to urgent storm damage response. Ready to protect your property and your trees? Call us today for a free estimate.
Storm damage doesn't wait, and neither do we. Billings and Yellowstone County experience dramatic weather swings that put trees under real stress. Heavy wet snow in spring and early fall can snap brittle Siberian elm and silver maple limbs, while summer hailstorms and Chinook wind gusts bring down branches and entire tops with little warning. When a tree threatens your roof, vehicle, or power line, or when a fallen tree blocks your driveway or damages a fence, you need immediate professional help. Billings Tree Service offers Emergency Tree Service around the clock because emergencies don't follow business hours.
Large tree removal in Billings requires precision, planning, and the right equipment to work safely in tight spaces between homes, near utility lines, and around the mature landscapes that define our neighborhoods. We handle everything from the initial cut to debris removal and site cleanup, so you don't have to.
If you're facing an emergency right now, call (406) 500-6212 to reach our dispatch team. For non-urgent removals and consultations, we're happy to schedule a site visit at your convenience. Visit our Tree Removal page to learn more about our process and capabilities.
The cost of tree removal in Billings varies based on several factors: the size and species of the tree, how easily we can access it, its proximity to your home or other structures, and the complexity of the job. A mature green ash or silver maple in an open yard costs far less to remove than a large ponderosa pine perched on the Rims or a diseased elm wedged between two houses in an older neighborhood. Additional work like stump grinding and debris hauling affects the final price as well. For a detailed breakdown of our rates and to understand what your specific project might cost, visit our pricing page or call for a free estimate.
Beyond removal, Billings Tree Service provides a full range of tree and landscape care. Stump grinding eliminates unsightly stumps and reclaims yard space after a removal, while Tree Trimming and Pruning keeps your trees healthy, improves their shape, and reduces hazardous branches before they become emergencies. For larger projects, we offer Land Clearing services, and if you're uncertain about a tree's health or need expert guidance on species selection and care, our Arborist Consultation service provides professional insight tailored to Billings' climate and soil conditions.
Many cities in Montana, including Billings, require permits for tree removal depending on the tree's size, species, or heritage status. Protected trees, large specimens, and removals visible from the street may need approval from the local building department or your homeowners association before work begins. While permit requirements vary by location and property type, Billings Tree Service can guide you through the process and help ensure your project stays compliant. We recommend checking with your local building department or HOA early in the planning stage, and we're happy to advise you on what applies to your specific situation. Contact us for a free estimate and we'll discuss permitting as part of our initial consultation.
