Tree Service in Colfax County, NE

Need a tree service in Colfax County, Nebraska? Colfax County is our neighbor to the east. We work in Schuyler, the county seat, and in the towns, farms, and acreages across the rest of the county.

The Platte River runs along the southern edge of Colfax County, and the river bottoms near Schuyler and Richland are full of big cottonwoods and willows. The rest of the county is mostly farm ground, dotted with windbreaks and farmstead groves that have been standing for generations.

Common Tree Problems in Colfax County

  • Large cottonwoods near the river that drop heavy limbs and are hard to remove safely without the right equipment
  • Old farmstead windbreaks filling with dead trees and volunteer growth
  • Storm damage from summer thunderstorms and winter ice
  • Emerald ash borer in ash trees planted in town and on farmsteads

A certified arborist can tell you which of these problems can be treated and which trees are better removed. That is part of every free estimate.
