Trimming and pruning may seem similar, but they are surprisingly quite different. While both services involve cutting away branches, the difference is in the intended outcome of the services.
The goal of tree trimming is to clean up broken branches to restore the aesthetic of your tree, while the goal of tree pruning is to cut away decaying branches to restore the health of your tree.
Both services require the care and attention only a professional tree service provider, like Tree Police, can provide.
There are a lot of reasons a tree in your yard may need to be removed. Whatever your reason is, you don’t have to face the task alone.
Our team of tree experts can assess the situation and perform master tree removal quickly and efficiently. Reasons for tree removal could include:
Do you have tree stumps littering your beautiful property? Stumps not only ruin your perfect landscape, but they can actually be quite a hazard to your yard. If you’re looking to get rid of any tree stumps in your yard, call Tree Police for expert stump grinding!
Stump grinding is an efficient and environmentally friendly way to rid your yard of any unsightly tree stumps. The process involves grinding down the tree stump into woodchips using specialized equipment. This creates a hole where the tree stump previously existed, which goes below the surface of your yard. That hole can be filled with a mixture of dirt and ground-up chips, and you can even plant something new in the spot.
If you’re looking for professional stump grinding service in Iowa City, call Tree Police! We offer free estimates.

Iowans remember 2020’s derecho well, and Iowa City felt the power of hurricane-force winds, dropping branches, violently snapping trees, and plenty of downed power lines all over the city. We’re still seeing trees all over the area that somehow survived the storm but never got back to their former glory. Add in our summer thunderstorms, and the area’s in desperate need of a good crew that’ll handle 24/7 storm-damaged trees.
If a tree’s downed or touches a power line, stand far away (about 35 to 50 feet away), and call MidAmerican Energy first. Then call us and we can deal with:
Neighborhoods near the University of Iowa (go Hawkeyes!) are jam-packed with rentals, duplexes & apartments, a lot of them with old, large trees.

We work with Iowa City property managers to:
Trees in Iowa City are right-of-way (especially those between the sidewalk & street) and they’re maintained by the City’s Forestry Division. If a tree in front of your business or property needs work, you’ll need to get in touch with them first.
On the flipside, trees on your own property are your responsibility. Even when their branches are hanging over the sidewalk/street. And this is important, since any branches that are a danger to walkers, delivery trucks, signs, or drivers are a huge safety risk that could end in complaints or injury. Iowa City code has some clearances: 13.5 feet over streets/alleys.
The Tree Police can help raise those canopies and trim back those nosy branches & clear sightlines around your storefront and everything else so your frontage stays open (and safe).
We work all throughout Iowa City, including Northside, Goosetown, Manville Heights, Longfellow, Court Hill, Lucas Farms, Walnut Ridge, the Peninsula, and the South District. We also serve nearby Coralville, North Liberty, University Heights & Tiffin, plus Cedar Rapids to the north.
