Highlandville Tree Care, Careful on Every Hillside
A storm-damaged limb, or an oak that's grown too close to the roofline. Highlandville is a bit further out for us, but whatever you're dealing with, we'll walk you through it plainly so you always know what happens next.

Why a Tree Company’s Insurance Matters to You
Tree work is dangerous, and it happens on your property. If something goes wrong, whose insurance pays depends on the company you hired.
- Liability insurance covers damage if a limb or tree lands on your house, fence, car or your neighbor’s property. Without it, you may end up filing the claim on your own policy, or paying out of pocket.
- Workers’ compensation pays medical bills and lost wages if a crew member is hurt on your property. If an uninsured worker gets hurt, you could be the one facing the bills.
Before you hire anyone, ask for a certificate of insurance, and check that it covers both. Trufast carries $5M in coverage, including workers’ compensation, and we’re glad to send our certificate with your estimate.
“True professionals who gave a fair estimate and cut the tree and downed limbs, as well as removing a brush pile, showed up on time and did a great job! Good people, fair prices, hard workers who also cleaned up after a day’s work. Highly recommend!”
Just Past Ozark, and We've Been There Plenty
Trufast is based in Springfield, about thirty-five minutes from Highlandville, just past Ozark. Highlandville is one of the 17 southwest Missouri communities we cover — the drive time puts it in our extended service tier, so we take jobs there as capacity allows.
We run owner-operated on purpose, not a name passed down a chain. Our ISA Certified Arborist is on staff for the calls where judgment matters as much as equipment.
“Sawyer, did an excellent job trimming 2 of my maple trees. His expertise and customer service were outstanding. I will continue to use this company.”
“The crew did a great job of trimming my trees and bushes! Prompt service, friendly, and concern they had trimmed to my liking! They also did a great job of cleaning up! I highly recommend!”
“These guys showed up promptly on the day they were scheduled to work on a large black walnut tree in our back yard. They did an excellent job of trimming the tree. It had broken off at the top in the June storm. They cleaned up behind themselves. I felt the price was fair.”
“Good communication, great job on removing our neighbor’s threatening tree limbs. Professional all the way, and they left our driveway cleaner than it was before they started the job.”
“Competitive prices with fast and good quality service.”
Everything we do, one crew.

Highlandville sits in the hill country of Christian County, south of Springfield — the name itself is a nod to the elevation, and the terrain shapes almost every job we take out there. A few real things about the area worth knowing.
Named for its elevation, and it shows
Highlandville was named for its high ground, and the hilly, undulating terrain typical of Christian County is still the defining feature of the area. Sloped lots are the norm out there, not the exception, which changes how we plan rigging, drop zones, and cleanup — a removal that looks straightforward on flat ground can take longer once a hillside is factored in.

James River and White River watershed
Christian County is drained by the James River and branches of the White River, and a lot of properties in and around Highlandville back up to creek bottoms or drainage draws rather than flat open yard. Trees growing in that kind of ground often have different root structure and stability than trees on drier upland lots — it’s part of what a real hazard assessment near water has to account for, not just tree size and species, but what’s happening underground and how the ground drains.
Extended tier, despite sitting close to our core area
Highlandville sits just past Ozark, a town closer to Springfield that we’re out in constantly. But the drive time to Highlandville itself tips it into our extended service tier at about 35 minutes. It’s a good example of how our service-area tiers are built around real drive time and scheduling capacity, not distance as the crow flies.
Why technique and timing both matter
How you trim a tree affects how well a tree grows over time. Improper trimming and broken branches left to rot can result in the untimely death of the tree. Most often we are brought in to trim trees that are at least fifteen years old. These can require climbing when we cannot access them with a bucket truck.
On hedge and shrub trimming
Pruning trees and hedges is known to generate a positive environment that homeowners love. This is just one of the many tree services we offer that we’ve seen attract positive attention from the surrounding community. By working with our team, your home will become an impressive staple in the neighborhood.
What goes into an estimate
All estimates are in-person and on-site because it has shown over the years to be so very difficult to make sure we are in agreement about what it is to do without walking through the property and talking with our customers. In that walkthrough, we will be listing how many trees there are that need some sort of service, whether trimming or removal, and how many obstacles we have to work around, like power lines or fencing. The size of the tree, how much we're doing to every tree, how much wood has to be removed, and how difficult it is to move the brush and wood out of the property all play a part in the ultimate estimate.
