Tree Service in Rochester, MN

Residential and commercial tree work across Rochester and Southeast Minnesota, from Owatonna to Winona. Every job below is quoted on site, after somebody has looked at the tree and what's under it. Call (507) 299-5771 if you don't see what you need.

Residential

Tree Removal

Dead, hazardous and large trees taken down, including removals tight to houses where nothing can be dropped. Brush chipped, wood cut to length, drop zone raked clean. Oak work scheduled around Minnesota's April-through-July oak wilt window.

Tree Trimming & Pruning

Deadwooding, crown reduction and thinning, and clearance over roofs, drives and walkways. Cuts made just outside the branch collar to the ANSI A300 standard — no topping, no flush cuts, no lion-tailing.

Stump Grinding & Removal

Stumps ground below grade so you can mow over the spot, or excavated entirely where a footing, fence or replacement tree is going in. Grind depth set by what the ground is for, and grindings mounded, backfilled or hauled.

Emergency Tree Service

Trees on houses, hangers over doorways, and trunks still under tension. The hazard gets neutralised first and the removal, wood and cleanup follow on a scheduled daylight visit. After-hours and weekend calls taken.

Storm Damage Tree Cleanup

The aftermath once nothing is imminently dangerous: downed trunks bucked and hauled, brush chipped, hangers cleared out of the canopy, and torn limbs on surviving trees cut back to proper collar cuts so the wounds can seal.

Brush Removal & Clearing

Overgrown thickets, saplings, fence lines and dense vegetation cut low and hauled off, leaving ground you can walk and mow. Buckthorn handled with an honest plan for what happens after the cut, since it resprouts from the stump.

Lot & Land Clearing

Taking a parcel from wooded or overgrown to workable ground — trees, brush, stumps and buried debris. Keeper trees marked and their root zones protected before any traffic starts, with the finished condition agreed up front.

Tree Health & Maintenance

Visual assessments from root flare to crown, preventative pruning on a cycle, deadwood removal and structural work on young trees. Straight answers on oak wilt and emerald ash borer, and a referral when what's needed is diagnosis rather than pruning.
