Neighborhoods We Serve
Summit Tree Service serves homeowners throughout Ames and nearby communities.
Downtown Ames
Tight lots near the Old Town Historic District and older commercial buildings mean most downtown jobs call for rigged removal.
View Downtown Ames →Old Town
Old Town's recognized historic streets carry decades-old shade trees that need regular structural pruning.
View Old Town →Campustown
Campustown's dense rental housing near Iowa State means small lots with large legacy trees overhanging multiple properties.
View Campustown →Somerset
Somerset's newer subdivisions have younger, still-establishing trees that benefit most from structural training pruning.
View Somerset →Northridge
Northridge's established yards often carry old stumps left behind from removals done by previous owners.
View Northridge →North Ames
North Ames' mature residential canopy generates a steady stream of storm-related emergency calls each season.
View North Ames →West Ames
West Ames' wider, tree-lined lots make it one of the more open areas we serve, adding wind exposure to individual trees.
View West Ames →South Ames
South Ames' aging tree stock means we see more standing dead trees here than in newer parts of the city.
View South Ames →University Area
The University Area's mix of campus-adjacent housing and Reiman Gardens traffic means scheduling around events.
View University Area →Kate Mitchell Area
The Kate Mitchell area's established residential streets carry mature canopy that needs regular seasonal attention.
