Winchester's historic downtown and the sprawling Clark County farm properties around it are home to some of the region's most impressive mature trees, from towering hackberries and ash to sturdy sycamores that have stood for generations. When those trees need professional care or removal, Lexington Tree Service is the crew Winchester homeowners and property managers trust.

We've been serving Winchester (40391) and the surrounding Lexington area since 2015. Whether you're dealing with a storm-damaged limb threatening your roof, an aging ash tree showing signs of decline, or simply want to clear land for a new project, our licensed arborists and fully insured crews know Winchester's terrain and tree challenges inside and out.

Tree Service in Winchester (40391)

Winchester sits in the heart of Clark County's mixed hardwood country. Your property likely features oak, maple, and pine, along with the hickories and sycamores that line the creek bottoms and farm boundaries around town. Many Winchester lots are older, with mature trees that have been on the land for decades, sometimes close to power lines, fences, or structures. Our team understands the specific challenges: tight access on residential streets, the need to work around established landscaping, and the importance of getting the job done right without damaging what's around the tree.

We've handled tree removal, trimming, stump grinding, and arborist consultation for Winchester homeowners, farm managers, and commercial properties since 2015. We know which species are most common here, how local weather patterns affect tree health, and what Winchester's permitting process requires.

How a Job Works in Winchester

Step one is always a free on-site assessment. You call us at (859) 710-1736, describe what you need, and we schedule a time to visit your Winchester property. We'll look at the tree, talk through your goals, check for any permit requirements, and give you a clear estimate with no surprises.

Step two is the work itself. Our licensed crews show up on time with the right equipment. If your lot has tight access (common in Winchester's older neighborhoods), we plan accordingly. If there are power lines nearby, we maintain safe distance and coordinate with utility companies if needed. We handle the tree removal, trimming, or stump grinding with professionalism and attention to what's around us.

Step three is cleanup and a final walkthrough. We haul away debris, chip what can be chipped, and leave your property clean and ready. You'll see the difference the moment we're done.

Tree removal in Winchester typically starts at a free estimate, since cost depends heavily on the tree's size, species, location, and how easy it is to access and remove. A moderate oak or maple removal on a standard residential lot usually runs several hundred dollars; larger trees or those near structures, power lines, or on steep terrain cost more. Stump grinding starts at $150 and goes up with stump diameter. Tree trimming and pruning start at $250 for routine work. Emergency tree removal after storms is available year-round. The best way to know what your specific job will cost is to call us at (859) 710-1736 for a free estimate. We'll walk your property, ask the right questions, and give you an honest price.

What's the deal with ash trees in Winchester, and should I be worried about mine?
Ash trees are common around Winchester and Clark County, and many are showing signs of ash borer decline or other stress. If you've noticed thinning canopy, dead branches, or bark damage on your ash, it's worth having a licensed arborist take a look. We offer arborist consultation starting at $95 to assess the tree's health and recommend removal, treatment, or monitoring. Catching problems early can save you from emergency removal later.
I had a storm last night and a big limb is hanging over my roof. Can you come out today?
Yes. We offer emergency tree service year-round, including same-day or next-day response for hazardous hanging limbs, fallen trees, and storm damage. Call us right away at (859) 710-1736 to describe the situation. Our crews are equipped to handle dangerous work safely, and we'll get that limb down before it causes more damage.
How much does it cost to remove a tree in Winchester?
Tree removal cost depends on the tree's size (height and diameter), species, location on your lot, and access. A small to medium tree on an open lot might run $400 to $800. Larger trees, those near power lines or structures, or on steep or wooded terrain can cost significantly more. The only way to get an accurate quote is a free on-site estimate. Call (859) 710-1736 and we'll come out and give you a real number.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Winchester?
Winchester and Clark County do require permits for tree removal in some cases, especially for trees above a certain diameter or if they're protected heritage species. We handle the permit process for our clients. When you call for your free estimate, we'll let you know if a permit is needed for your specific tree and property. It's one less thing for you to worry about.
My HOA says I need approval before removing a tree. How does that work?
Many Winchester communities have HOA rules about visible tree removal. We work with HOAs regularly and can coordinate the approval process with you. Bring the HOA requirements to your initial consultation, and we'll help make sure everything is documented and approved before we start work. We also handle disputes about neighbor trees and overhanging branches, which come down to property line rules. We'll help you understand your rights and options.
Are you licensed and insured?
Absolutely. Lexington Tree Service is fully licensed and insured for general liability and workers' compensation. When you hire us, you're protected, and we're protected. Any legitimate tree service in Winchester should carry this coverage, and we do.
When's the best time to trim or prune trees in Winchester?
Late fall through winter, when trees are dormant, is ideal for most pruning and trimming in Winchester. Dormant season pruning minimizes disease risk and lets the tree heal over spring and summer. That said, we handle emergency pruning year-round if a tree is hazardous. If you're thinking about routine maintenance, plan it for November through February and you'll get the best results.
