Common Tree Problems Around Howells

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.

  • 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

How It Works

  1. Call, text, or send a message. Tell us what is going on with your trees.
  2. Free estimate. We come out, look at the trees, and give you a clear, written price.
  3. The work. Our crew completes the job safely, with mats under our equipment to protect your lawn.
  4. Cleanup. Brush is chipped, wood is hauled away, and the area is raked and blown clean.
