Omaha's weather puts stress on trees. Hot summers, cold winters, and occasional severe storms mean trees fail when you least expect it. We see a lot of calls after wind events, ice storms, and when homeowners notice a tree leaning toward their house or dropping large branches. We also remove healthy trees that are too close to foundations, blocking views, or making way for additions and new construction.
Most removals in the Omaha area take one day. We bring in the right equipment, work safely around power lines and structures, and haul everything away when we're done. If you want the stump ground out, we take care of that too. We're fully insured and handle any required permits so you don't have to worry about the details.
We remove trees of any size, from small ornamentals to large cottonwoods and oaks. Our crew handles difficult removals near houses, power lines, and in tight backyard spaces common in older Omaha neighborhoods.
When trees come down in storms or high winds, we respond fast to clear your property and prevent further damage. We've handled cleanup after major events and know how to safely remove damaged trees that are leaning or hung up in other trees.
After a tree comes out, we grind the stump below ground level so you can replant grass or landscape over it. Our grinder handles stumps of all sizes and works in tight side yards and backyards.
If you're building an addition, putting in a pool, or preparing land for construction, we clear trees and brush to get your property ready. We work with builders and homeowners throughout the metro on residential lot clearing projects.
Dead, diseased, or leaning trees are a liability. We assess the risk and remove hazardous trees before they cause damage to your home, vehicles, or neighbor's property.
Sometimes you don't need the whole tree removed. We trim back overgrown branches, clear limbs away from roofs and power lines, and prune trees to keep them healthy and safe.
We work in every part of the metro, from older neighborhoods like Dundee and Benson to newer subdivisions in Elkhorn and West Omaha. We know the local soil conditions, permit rules, and how to navigate tight lots and mature landscaping.

Omaha sits on deep loess soil along the Missouri River bluffs and expansive clay farther west, both of which affect how trees grow and how we remove them. The silty loam soil compacts heavily in newer subdivisions, limiting root growth and making trees more prone to blowing over in high winds. Expansive clay in areas like West Omaha, Elkhorn, and Papillion swells when wet and shrinks when dry, which stresses tree roots and can cause mature trees to lean or crack at the base. We see a lot of removals after spring storms when saturated soil loses its holding power.
Omaha's weather is hard on trees. Summer heat and drought stress trees, especially in clay soil that bakes hard by August. Winter cold reaches down to around 42 inches of frost depth, and ice storms have caused widespread damage over the years. Major storm events have taken out thousands of trees across the metro, and older neighborhoods with large oaks, elms, and cottonwoods see regular limb failures. Most homes in central Omaha were built between 1920 and 1970, and the mature trees on those properties are reaching the end of their lifespan. Tree removal in Omaha requires a city permit if the tree is over six inches in diameter and located in the right-of-way, though most backyard removals don't need permits. We handle the paperwork when it's required.
Tree removal in the Omaha area typically costs between $400 and $1,500 for most residential jobs. Small trees under 30 feet run $300 to $600. Medium trees from 30 to 60 feet cost $600 to $1,200. Large trees over 60 feet, including big oaks and cottonwoods, run $1,200 to $3,000 or more depending on access and complexity. Stump grinding adds $100 to $400 depending on the size. The price goes up if the tree is near power lines, requires a crane, or sits in a tight backyard with no alley access. Emergency storm work often costs more due to the urgency and risk. Multiple trees on the same property usually get a better per-tree rate.

Most backyard tree removals don't require a permit. You do need a city permit if the tree is over six inches in diameter and located in the public right-of-way, which typically means between the sidewalk and the street. We handle permit applications when needed.
Most residential tree removals in Omaha take between three and eight hours depending on the size and location. Small trees might only take a couple of hours, while large trees near houses or power lines can take a full day. We usually complete the job and haul everything away in one visit.
We haul away all the wood, branches, and debris as part of the standard service. If you want firewood, we can cut logs to length and stack them on your property at no extra charge. Just let us know when we give you the quote.
Yes, we regularly remove trees near structures and power lines throughout Omaha. We use rigging and ropes to control each piece as it's cut, and we work carefully to avoid damage. For trees touching live power lines, we coordinate with OPPD to de-energize the line if necessary.
We take care to minimize damage, but heavy equipment does leave some marks, especially in wet conditions or on Omaha's clay soil. We use plywood under equipment when needed and avoid driving on saturated ground. Most tire tracks settle or can be raked out, and grass grows back quickly.
We work year-round in Omaha. Winter is actually a good time for tree removal because the ground is frozen and there's less damage to lawns. We don't work during active storms, high winds, or lightning, but we resume as soon as it's safe.
