Need a tree service in Merrick County, Nebraska? Merrick County runs southwest of Columbus along Highway 30. We serve Central City, the county seat, along with Silver Creek and the farms and acreages along the way.
The Platte River valley runs through Merrick County, and the river corridor is part of the spring sandhill crane migration route. Cottonwoods, willows, and cedars grow thick along the river, while towns and farmsteads have a mix of shade trees, evergreens, and windbreaks.
