Emergency

Crane capability
Most Des Moines tree services subcontract their crane. We own ours.
A crane turns a multi-day rigging job into a single-day lift, and it takes the risk off your roof. Because the machine and the operator are ours, crane work schedules faster and quotes as one line item instead of two.

Frequently asked questions
What services does Central Tree Pros offer?
Central Tree Pros provides tree removal, tree trimming and pruning, crane-assisted tree removal, stump
grinding, land clearing, and 24/7 emergency tree services across Des Moines and central Iowa. We serve
residential homeowners, commercial properties, HOAs, and construction contractors, and every job
includes full cleanup and debris haul-away.
What areas do you serve?
We proudly serve customers throughout Iowa, Indiana, and Illinois, including communities throughout these states. We are based at 3175 NW Prairie Ln., Des Moines, IA, and travel 30 miles for standard work. We’ll accommodate for larger projects. If you are outside this area, get in touch.
Are you fully insured, and can I see proof?
Yes. We are fully-insured, and provide a certificate of insurance
upon request before work begins. Workers’ compensation matters as much as liability: if an uninsured crew
member is injured on your property, the claim can fall to your homeowners policy. We are also a
registered U.S. federal contractor.
How experienced is your team?
Central Tree Pros has served the Des Moines area since 2018, with 20+ years of combined crew experience in tree removal, crane operation, and storm response. Our crews are safety trained.
Do you provide free estimates, and do you price match?
Yes. Estimates are free, written, and carry no obligation. Estimates are itemized so you can see removal, debris haul-away,
and stump grinding priced separately. You can request an estimate online or by phone. We are the number one referred company in the market.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We offer financing through Wisetack for projects up to $25,000, with terms from 3 to 60 months and APRs ranging from 0% to 35.9% based on creditworthiness. There are no hidden fees or compounding interest, the application takes about a minute, and checking your options does not affect your credit score. Financing is particularly useful for unplanned storm removals, which most homeowners have not budgeted for.
All financing is subject to credit approval; terms may vary. Payment options through Wisetack are provided by our lending partners.
Do you clean up and haul away the debris?
Yes. Full cleanup and debris haul-away are included in every job at no additional charge. We remove all
wood, branches, and debris and leave the work area clean before we go. If you want to keep the wood for
firewood, tell us during the estimate and we will cut it to length and stack it instead of hauling it.
