Nic's Works is a locally owned tree service company based in East Gull Lake, in the middle of the Lakes Area. Our crew works on in-town lots, lake homes, cabins, wooded acreage and commercial properties across the region.
The Brainerd Lakes Area is known for its mature pines, oaks and birch, and for the lakes they grow around. Those trees are a big part of why people live here. They also mean tight access, shorelines, septic systems and buildings tucked close to large trunks.
We plan every project around the property. Before work begins, we look at the tree, the access, the terrain and the structures nearby, then choose the equipment and method that fit the site.
Dead, declining, leaning and storm-damaged trees are a common concern on Lakes Area properties, especially when they stand close to a home, cabin, garage or driveway. Nic's Works removes single problem trees and groups of trees on residential, lake and commercial properties across the region.
Large and hazardous trees are our specialty. Many Lakes Area lots have tall pines and oaks growing a few feet from a roof, a deck or the shoreline, with little room to work.
When a tree cannot be dropped in one piece, we take it down in controlled sections. That lets us manage where each limb and trunk section lands and protect the buildings, landscaping and neighboring property around it.
Trimming removes dead, broken and overextended limbs before wind, snow or ice brings them down. We prune mature trees over roofs, decks, driveways and outdoor living areas throughout the Lakes Area.
Timing matters for some species. Oaks in Minnesota are best pruned outside the oak wilt risk season, and we can advise on timing when we look at your trees.

A leftover stump gets in the way of mowing, landscaping and building. We grind single stumps and multiple stumps below ground level, as part of a removal or as a separate visit.

Not sure whether your property is in our service area? Call 218-270-0861 and we will let you know.
Summer thunderstorms, straight-line winds, heavy snow and ice all take down trees in Central Minnesota. Nic's Works removes fallen trees, hanging limbs and unstable trees across the Brainerd Lakes Area, including trees resting on homes and cabins or blocking driveways.
If a tree is down or looks ready to fail, stay clear of it and call 218-270-0861.
Building a home, cabin, garage or driveway on a wooded lot starts with clearing. We remove trees and brush, grind stumps and handle debris, and we can clear selectively so the trees you want to keep stay standing.
We also remove invasive buckthorn, which crowds the understory on many wooded and lake properties in the area.

Lake property is what sets the Brainerd Lakes Area apart, and it is where tree work gets complicated. We work on lake homes and cabins on Gull Lake, the Whitefish Chain, Pelican Lake, North Long Lake and the smaller lakes between them.
These properties often have narrow driveways, steep slopes to the water, septic systems and mature trees between the cabin and the shoreline. We plan equipment access and removal methods around those limits to keep disturbance to the lot as low as we can.
Seasonal owners can send photos and a description with an estimate request, and we will follow up to discuss the project.
What parts of the Brainerd Lakes Area do you serve?
We serve Brainerd, Baxter, East Gull Lake, Nisswa, Lake Shore, Pequot Lakes, Breezy Point, Crosslake, Merrifield, Crosby and surrounding Central Minnesota communities. Call us if you are unsure whether we cover your property.
Do you work on lake properties with limited access?
Yes. Narrow driveways, slopes and trees close to cabins and shorelines are common here. We look at access before the job and plan the equipment and removal method around it.
Can you remove a large tree close to a house or cabin?
Yes. Large trees near structures are a major part of our work. They are usually taken down in controlled sections to protect the building and the property around it.
How much does tree service cost in the Brainerd Lakes Area?
Cost depends on the size and condition of the tree, how many trees are involved, access, nearby structures and how much cleanup is needed. We provide free estimates based on the actual property.
Do you provide emergency tree service after storms?
Yes. We remove fallen trees, hanging limbs and unstable trees after storms. Stay clear of the tree, contact the utility if power lines are involved, and call 218-270-0861.
