Tree Services We Provide in Hollister, MO
From one dead limb over a driveway to a wooded lot that needs clearing, one local team handles the whole job. Our tree care follows ANSI A300 pruning standards and ANSI Z133 safety standards.
Tree Removal in Hollister
A dead, leaning, or storm-damaged tree is a risk to your home, your neighbors, and nearby power lines. We take trees down in sections, lower each piece under control, and protect the roof, fence, and lawn beneath. Tight access, steep slopes, and trees over structures are routine for our crews, and crane-assisted tree removal is available when a site calls for it.
Tree Trimming and Pruning
Proper pruning keeps a tree healthy, balanced, and clear of your roof and gutters. Our arborists handle corrective pruning, deadwooding, crown density reduction, and shrub trimming to A300 standards. We also install cabling and bracing to support weak limbs on trees worth saving.
Stump Grinding
A leftover stump is a tripping hazard, and it can attract carpenter ants and termites. We grind stumps below grade so you can replant, lay sod, or reclaim the space, whether we removed the tree or someone else did.
Emergency Tree Service and Storm Damage Cleanup
Ozark storms do not keep business hours. When a tree lands on your house, blocks your driveway, or hangs over a power line, call us for 24/7 emergency tree removal and storm damage cleanup in Hollister. We secure the hazard first, then clear the debris.
Tree and Shrub Health Care
Many declining trees can be saved when the problem is caught early. Our plant health care covers fertilization, insect and disease management, soil and tissue testing, and soil health care, based on what an arborist finds on your property.
Land Clearing
Building a home, adding a driveway, or opening up an overgrown lot? We clear trees, brush, and cedar thickets and leave the site ready for the next stage of your project.
Commercial Tree Services
We care for trees at Hollister businesses, HOAs, resorts, and managed properties. Scheduled pruning, tree inspections, and storm response keep your site safe and presentable for guests and tenants.
Tree Planting and Arborist Consulting
The right tree in the right place prevents most future problems. Our consulting arborists inspect trees, assess risk, and recommend species suited to Hollister's rocky soil, then plant them properly.

Tree Care in Hollister: What Local Homeowners Should Know
The Trees That Grow Around Hollister
Hollister sits in the oak-and-hickory woods of the Ozarks. Most yards hold some mix of oak, hickory, black walnut, eastern red cedar, and silver maple, with dogwood and redbud beneath them. Each species has its own pruning needs and its own way of failing, which is why an arborist's eye matters.
Why Ozark Storms Make Tree Work Urgent
Spring thunderstorms, straight-line winds, and winter ice put real strain on Hollister's trees. Thin, rocky topsoil on steep hillsides gives roots less to hold. Removing deadwood and reducing heavy limbs before storm season best protects your roof.
Oak Wilt: When Not to Prune Oaks
Oak wilt is a lethal disease of oaks, especially the red oak group. The Missouri Department of Conservation advises against pruning or wounding oaks from mid-March through June. Plan routine oak pruning outside that window, and have fresh storm wounds sealed right away in spring.
Emerald Ash Borer and Hollister's Ash Trees
Emerald ash borer is now widespread in Missouri, and it kills ash trees that are left untreated. If you have an ash worth saving, a certified arborist can treat it. An ash that is already declining is safer to remove before it turns brittle.
The Best Time of Year for Tree Work in Hollister
Late winter, while trees are dormant, is the best window for most structural pruning. Tree removal, stump grinding, and land clearing can be done year-round, and emergency tree service happens whenever it is needed.
Lakefront and Hillside Properties
Homes above Lake Taneycomo and near Table Rock Lake bring steep grades, exposed rock, and limited equipment access. Selective trimming and canopy thinning can often open up a lake view without removing the trees that hold the slope.
Serving Hollister and the Tri-Lakes Area
Our crews work throughout Hollister (ZIP codes 65672 and 65673), from the historic Downing Street district to the hillside neighborhoods above Lake Taneycomo and south toward Branson Creek. We also provide tree service in the surrounding Taney County and Stone County communities:

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Service in Hollister, MO
How much does tree service cost in Hollister, MO?
The price depends on the tree's size, condition, location on the property, and how easily our equipment can reach it. We give free, no-obligation estimates with upfront pricing, so you know the cost before any work begins.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Hollister?
Most tree removal on private residential property in this area does not require a permit, but rules can vary by municipality. Check with the City of Hollister if the tree stands in a street right-of-way, and with your HOA if you have one.
Do you offer emergency tree service in Hollister?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency response for storm-damaged and fallen trees in Hollister. Keep people and pets away from the tree, stay clear of any downed power lines, and call (417) 208-9368.
Is Monster Tree Service licensed and insured?
Yes. We carry full licensing and insurance, and our team includes ISA Certified Arborists.
When is the best time to trim trees in Hollister?
Late winter, while trees are dormant, suits most pruning. Oaks are the exception to plan around: the Missouri Department of Conservation advises against pruning them from mid-March through June because of oak wilt.
How do I know if a tree needs to be removed?
Warning signs include large cavities in the trunk, mushrooms or other fungal growth at the base, a canopy that is more than half dead, or a lean that is new or getting worse. An arborist inspection will tell you whether the tree can be saved.
Do you grind stumps from trees someone else removed?
Yes. Stump grinding is available on its own or as part of a tree removal.
Do you work with businesses, HOAs, and resorts?
Yes. We provide commercial tree services for businesses, HOAs, resorts, and property managers in Hollister and across the Tri-Lakes area.
