Highland’s tree-lined streets and mature shade trees near the historic Town Square are part of what makes the community feel like home — but that same maturity means many trees here are decades old and due for professional evaluation. BCS Tree Service has provided tree removal, pruning, and stump grinding to Highland homeowners and businesses since 1995, with ISA Certified Arborists on every job.
Whether you’re dealing with a storm-damaged limb near Silver Lake, an overgrown tree crowding a fence line in one of Highland’s newer subdivisions, or a stump left behind from a landscaping project, our crews handle it with the same care whether the job is downtown or on the edge of town.
Like much of Madison County, Highland sits on heavy clay soil that can restrict root development and make trees more prone to stress during dry summers or saturated winters. Combined with the area’s exposure to strong seasonal storms, this makes routine pruning and periodic tree health checks especially worthwhile here — problems that start as a small dead limb can become a bigger hazard fast when root systems are already under stress.
Yes. Highland is a short drive east of our Troy base, and there’s no added travel charge — it’s part of our regular Madison County service area.
Definitely. We remove and trim trees along fence lines, windbreaks, and open lots, and we’re equipped for the larger trees common on rural Highland properties.
Pricing depends on the tree’s size, species, and access. We provide free estimates and honest recommendations for every Highland job.
Storm and wind damage on exposed rural lots, Emerald Ash Borer, and Oak Wilt are frequent issues here. Our arborists can assess your trees and recommend a plan.
Yes, around the clock. Open, windy conditions can bring trees down fast, and our 24/7 crews respond to clear the hazard.
We can. Stump grinding is available with any removal, including multiple stumps on acreage.
Yes. We’re set up for big removals on both in-town lots and open acreage, using cranes, bucket trucks and rigging to handle tall or heavy trees safely.
We do. Our crews maintain proper clearance from energized lines, and when a tree threatens or touches the service line we can arrange a temporary disconnect with the utility. Trees on the primary high-voltage lines are usually the utility’s responsibility, and we’ll advise you.
Our fleet includes bucket trucks, cranes, lifts, and stump grinders — a real advantage on larger Highland lots and acreage, where the right machine handles big trees quickly. That cuts labor time and cost, and lifting wood out rather than dragging it protects your lawn.
Fully insured, BBB A+ rated, and trusted across the Highland area since 1995.
