Commercial & Residential Tree Care.
From delicate structural pruning of heritage oaks to high-risk crane removals, Freers & Sons brings 90 years of specialized knowledge to every job in Muscatine County and surrounding communities.
Tree Removal
Safe, complete removal of any tree on your property.
Whether it's a dying oak threatening your roof or a diseased elm too close to a powerline, we assess, plan, and execute every removal with precision — leaving your yard clean and safe.
Crane-Assisted Removal
Our signature capability for the biggest, most hazardous trees.
Our specialized crane allows us to lift tree sections vertically over houses and structures, eliminating ground-level risk and protecting your lawn from heavy equipment damage.
Trimming & Pruning
Structural care to promote health and longevity.
We follow ANSI A300 standards for crown reduction, thinning, and deadwooding. Expert pruning prevents storm damage and keeps your heritage trees healthy for the next generation.
Stump Grinding
Complete removal of stumps and surface roots.
We grind stumps to below grade, allowing you to replant grass or landscape immediately. We can haul away the mulch or leave it for your garden beds.
Cabling & Bracing
Structural support for multi-stemmed heritage trees.
Not every damaged tree needs removal. High-strength cables and braces can provide the structural integrity needed to save a split or leaning tree of significant value.
Storm Damage Response
24/7 emergency service when you need it most.
When a storm hits Muscatine, we respond fast. Our crane and crew are ready to remove fallen trees from roofs and driveways safely and efficiently.
EAB & Disease Management
Specialized removal of compromised ash and elm trees.
Emerald Ash Borer and Oak Wilt are devastating our local canopy. We provide expert assessment and safe removal of infected trees before they become brittle hazards.
Commercial & Municipal
Contract tree care for businesses, HOAs, and cities.
We provide the COIs, safety protocols, and equipment capacity required for HNI, Kent, GPC, and municipal contracts across Muscatine County.
Lot & Land Clearing
Reclaiming land and preparing sites for construction.
Preparing a lot for construction or reclaiming overgrown land? We clear trees, brush, and stumps — chipping and hauling everything off-site or grinding in place for natural mulch cover.
The Crane Advantage.
Most tree services in Muscatine rely on bucket trucks and manual rigging. We operate a specialized crane that allows us to lift trees over houses, eliminating impact on your lawn and risk to your structures.
