A Team Committed to Excellence
Family-owned tree and lawn care serving Davenport for 30+ years. Expert tree removal, trimming, stump grinding, and lawn services. Call (563) 320-1948.
Built on Farm Values
I grew up on a farm outside Davenport where taking care of the land wasn't something you talked about—it's just what you did. My father owned successful businesses and showed me what hard work looks like when your name is on the door. My stepfather was a certified arborist, and watching him work taught me that tree care isn't just labor—it's knowledge, precision, and respect for what you're handling. Those two men shaped how I run Rivers Edge. We show up with the right equipment, we know what we're doing, and we don't cut corners. That's the standard I learned, and it's the standard we keep.
30 Years of Local Experience
We've been serving the Quad Cities for over three decades. That's 30 years of removing dangerous trees, grinding stumps, treating lawns, and responding to storm damage across Davenport, Bettendorf, Rock Island, Moline, East Moline, and Eldridge. I'm currently studying to become a certified arborist because this work deserves that level of expertise. We've invested in a bucket truck and professional-grade equipment that handles jobs other companies turn down. When you call Rivers Edge, you're working with a team that's seen every tree problem this area can throw at us—and we've solved them all.

Our Services in Iowa
Complete Tree Care and Lawn Health for your Properties
From tree removal to lawn aeration, we handle the work that keeps your property safe and healthy.
Professional Tree Removal Services
We remove trees of any size—dead, diseased, or just in the way. Our bucket truck and heavy-duty equipment handle jobs other companies turn down. We'll clear the tree, haul it away, and leave your yard clean.
Tree Trimming and Pruning
Overgrown branches damage roofs, block views, and create hazards during storms. We trim and shape trees to improve their health and appearance while keeping your property safe. Proper pruning extends the life of your trees.
Stump Grinding and Removal
Stumps are trip hazards, they attract pests, and they make mowing a nightmare. We grind stumps below ground level so you can replant, lay sod, or just reclaim that space. Fast, clean, and thorough.
Emergency Storm Damage Tree Service
Storms don't wait, and neither do we. When a tree falls on your house, blocks your driveway, or threatens power lines, call us. We're available 24/7 to handle emergencies across the Quad Cities.
Core Aeration and Lawn Care
Compacted soil suffocates grass roots and creates thin, patchy lawns. Our core aeration service pulls plugs of soil to let air, water, and nutrients reach the roots. Your lawn will be thicker and healthier within weeks.
Grub Control and Mole Removal
Grubs eat grass roots from below while moles tear up your yard hunting for them. We treat both problems with targeted solutions that stop the damage and prevent it from coming back. One service solves two headaches.

Safe, Professional Execution
Once you're ready to move forward, we show up with the equipment needed for your specific job—bucket truck for tall trees, grinders for stumps, aerators for lawns. We work methodically, keeping your property and our crew safe throughout the process. Every cut, every removal, every treatment is done with precision. We don't rush. We've been doing this for 30 years, and that experience shows in how we handle each task from start to finish.

Complete Cleanup and Final Walkthrough
When the work is finished, we haul away debris, grind stumps below ground level, and leave your yard cleaner than we found it. Before we leave, we walk the property with you to make sure everything meets your expectations. If something needs adjustment, we handle it then. You don't pay until you're satisfied with the results. That's how we've built our reputation in the Quad Cities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
How much does tree removal cost in Davenport?
Tree removal costs depend on size, location, and access. A small tree in an open yard runs $300–$600, while large oaks near structures can cost $1,500–$3,000. We give free estimates so you know the exact price before we start.
Do you offer emergency tree removal after storms?
Yes. We're available 24/7 for storm damage emergencies across Davenport, Bettendorf, Rock Island, Moline, East Moline, and Eldridge. If a tree falls on your house or blocks your driveway, call us immediately and we'll get there fast.
What's the best time of year for tree trimming in Iowa?
Late winter or early spring—before trees leaf out—is ideal for most trimming. Trees are dormant, so they heal faster and you can see the structure clearly. We also trim year-round for hazard removal or storm damage.
How does core aeration improve my lawn?
Core aeration pulls small plugs of soil from your lawn, creating channels for air, water, and nutrients to reach grass roots. This breaks up compacted soil, encourages deeper root growth, and results in a thicker, healthier lawn within a few weeks.
Can you remove a tree close to my house safely?
Yes. Our bucket truck and rigging equipment let us remove trees in tight spaces without damaging your house, fence, or landscaping. We lower sections piece by piece instead of dropping the whole tree.
Do you grind stumps below ground level?
Yes. We grind stumps 6–12 inches below ground level so you can replant grass, add landscaping, or install hardscaping without the stump interfering. The area will be ready to use right away.
How do I know if my tree is dangerous?
Look for dead branches, cracks in the trunk, leaning after storms, or roots lifting near the base. If the tree drops large branches regularly or shows decay, it's time for an assessment. We offer free evaluations if you're not sure.
What areas do you serve for tree and lawn services?
We serve Davenport, Bettendorf, Rock Island, Moline, East Moline, Eldridge, and surrounding areas within 30 minutes of Davenport. If you're in the Quad Cities and need tree or lawn work, we'll come to you.
