Whether it’s a tight squeeze between houses or a wind-bent cottonwood on the section line, we get it on the ground safely.
Our Tree Services: Protecting Your Home & Land
Residential & In-Town Tree Removal
Taking down a tree in a backyard isn't the same as felling one in the woods. We specialize in technical removals in the tri-city area (Hastings, Kearney, and Grand Island). We work carefully around roofs, septic lines, and fences.
The Result: We remove the threat while protecting your lawn and driveway.
Rural, Pasture & Shelterbelt Clearing
Farmers and landowners know that efficiency matters. We clear overgrown locusts, dead shelterbelts, and cottonwoods crowding your creek beds or shading your pivots. We clear the way for healthier pastures and easier equipment access.
Stump Grinding & Site Cleanup
Nobody wants to trip over a "wooden mushroom" for the next five years. We grind stumps below grade to ensure your ground is level and safe. We can fill and rake the area upon request so it's ready for new grass or landscaping.
Problems We Solve
“Cottonwood dropped a widow-maker in the last storm.”
“Roots heaving the sidewalk and the city sent a letter.”
“I mow around the same stump every weekend.”
“Tree’s dead, but the neighbor’s fence is three feet away.”
What Affects Cost
Size & Species: Cottonwood mass vs. a smaller elm makes a difference.
Complexity: Over the roof? Over the deck? Near primary lines?
Access: Gate width, soft yards, slope, fences, and septic fields.
Finish Choices: Grind depth, backfill/topsoil, chip/haul.
Extras: log bucking for firewood, after-hours emergency.
How We Work: Our 4-Step Process
We believe in transparency. Here is exactly how our team in the tri-city area handles your project:
We Assess & Plan: Every safe removal starts with a site walkthrough to identify targets (houses, power lines) and soil conditions.
We Section & Lower: We dismantle the tree section by section, lowering limbs with ropes to control every cut.
We Grind & Fix: We grind stumps below grade and backfill the surface for a clean finish.
We Haul & Sweep: You choose if logs are hauled or mulched. We sweep up before we leave so your property looks cared for, not torn up.
