Some tree companies are best suited for straightforward jobs.
Nic's Works has built its capabilities around handling more challenging tree projects.
Our crew regularly works with:
Every property is different. Before beginning a difficult tree removal, we consider the condition of the tree, surrounding structures, terrain, equipment access, landscaping, and other site conditions to determine an appropriate approach.
Tree work is safer and more efficient when the crew has equipment suited to the project.
Nic's Works invests in professional tree-service equipment that allows our team to approach everything from routine pruning and stump grinding to large and difficult tree removals.
The equipment is only part of the equation. Knowing how to plan the job, evaluate the property, and use that equipment appropriately is just as important.
This combination of experience, planning, equipment, and attention to the property allows us to take on tree projects throughout the Brainerd Lakes Area that can require more than a basic tree-cutting operation.
Lake properties are a major part of the communities we serve.
Tree work around a lake home or cabin can involve limited equipment access, narrow driveways, mature trees, slopes, landscaping, septic systems, neighboring properties, and trees growing close to buildings or shorelines.
Nic's Works has experience working in these environments.
Whether you need a hazardous tree removed beside a cabin, branches trimmed away from a roof, storm damage cleaned up, or several trees removed from a wooded property, we'll evaluate the site and determine how to approach the project.
Tree work can involve significant weight, height, equipment, and unpredictable conditions. That's why planning and safety are important parts of every project.
Before work begins, our crew considers the tree, structures, working area, equipment access, terrain, and surrounding property.
Our goal isn't simply to get the tree on the ground.
We want to complete the work efficiently while taking reasonable precautions to protect:
Nic's Works is licensed and insured, giving customers additional confidence when hiring us to perform tree work on their property.
Taking down a tree can create a substantial amount of branches, logs, wood chips, and debris.
That's why cleanup is an important part of the overall project.
Depending on the work you've requested, Nic's Works can handle tree debris, chipping, hauling, and stump grinding as part of the project.
We'll discuss what's included in your estimate before the work begins so you know what to expect when the job is finished.
Nic's Works provides a range of professional tree and property services so customers can work with one local company for many of their tree-care needs.
We remove dead, unwanted, hazardous, storm-damaged, and difficult trees, including large trees located near homes, cabins, garages, driveways, and other structures.
Proper trimming and pruning can remove dead or damaged branches, improve clearance around structures, and help maintain healthy, attractive trees.
After a tree has been removed, stump grinding can eliminate the remaining above-ground obstruction and make the area easier to return to lawn or landscaping.
Minnesota storms can leave behind fallen trees, broken limbs, split trunks, and dangerous hanging branches. Nic's Works provides storm-damage tree removal and cleanup throughout the Lakes Area.
When a fallen or severely damaged tree threatens a home, driveway, structure, or access to the property, Nic's Works can evaluate the situation and determine what needs to be done.
We remove trees and vegetation for new construction, garages, driveways, property improvements, wooded lots, and other clearing projects.
Invasive buckthorn can quickly take over wooded areas and compete with desirable native vegetation. Nic's Works provides buckthorn removal to help property owners reclaim and manage affected areas.
