Need a tree service in Platte County, Nebraska? Platte County is home. Vaughn Tree Care LLC is based in Columbus, the county seat, and most of our work is right here, from older neighborhoods in town to farmsteads and acreages out in the county.
Columbus sits where the Loup River meets the Platte, and the river bottoms around town are lined with cottonwoods, willows, and hackberries. In town, older neighborhoods are full of large silver maples, elms, and ash trees that were planted decades ago. Out in the county, you will find farm windbreaks, shelterbelts, and acreages with a mix of shade trees and evergreens.
