Large trees, damaged trees, leaning trees, and trees growing close to structures require careful planning and the right equipment. Nic's Works specializes in tree removals where size, location, condition, or limited access make the job more challenging.
We regularly help property owners with:
Before beginning work, we evaluate the tree, surrounding structures, access to the property, and other potential hazards to determine the best approach.
Some of the most challenging tree removals involve trees growing close to a house, cabin, garage, driveway, or other structure.
Simply dropping the entire tree may not be an option.
Depending on the location and condition of the tree, it may need to be removed carefully in sections so branches and trunk sections can be controlled as the tree comes down.
Nic's Works has the experience and equipment needed for these more difficult removals. We plan the job around the property and surrounding landscape with the goal of safely removing the tree while minimizing unnecessary disturbance.
If you're concerned about a large tree growing close to your home or cabin, we can inspect the situation and recommend the appropriate approach.
Tree removal on lake property can present challenges you don't encounter on a typical residential lot.
Homes and cabins may be surrounded by mature trees, narrow driveways, landscaping, septic systems, neighboring properties, slopes, shorelines, and limited equipment access.
Nic's Works serves homeowners and cabin owners throughout the Brainerd Lakes Area and understands the additional planning that can be required when removing trees from lake properties.
Whether you're dealing with a dangerous tree near your cabin, storm damage along the shoreline, or a large tree in a difficult location, we'll determine an appropriate removal plan for the property.
Removing a healthy tree isn't always necessary. However, there are situations where removal may be the safest or most practical solution.
You may want to have a tree evaluated for removal if you notice:
A tree doesn't necessarily need to be removed simply because it has a damaged limb or looks unhealthy. In some cases, professional pruning may be a better solution.
Nic's Works can evaluate the situation and discuss your options before the work begins.
Dead trees can become increasingly unpredictable as their wood and branches deteriorate.
Limbs may begin falling, trunks can lose structural strength, and the tree may become more difficult to remove safely as deterioration progresses.
This can be particularly concerning when the tree is located near:
If you suspect a tree is dead or seriously declining, having it evaluated sooner rather than later can help you understand the potential risk and your removal options.
High winds, heavy snow, ice, and severe thunderstorms can split trunks, break major limbs, uproot trees, or leave trees leaning dangerously toward structures.
Some storm-damaged trees can be saved through proper pruning. Others may have suffered enough structural damage that removal is the safer option.
Nic's Works can help with:
Storm-damaged trees can be unpredictable. Avoid standing beneath hanging limbs or attempting to cut heavily loaded or partially fallen trees yourself.
Every tree and property is different, but our tree removal process generally begins with an evaluation of the tree and surrounding area.
We evaluate the tree's size, condition, location, surrounding structures, available working space, and equipment access.
Our crew determines an appropriate removal method based on the tree and property. Large or difficult trees may need to be dismantled in sections rather than removed all at once.
We use professional tree-service equipment and proven removal techniques to complete the work efficiently while protecting surrounding property.
Branches and tree debris are cleaned up as agreed upon for the project so you're not left dealing with a major cleanup after the tree is gone.
Tree removal normally leaves the stump and root flare behind. If you'd like the stump removed from the landscape, ask about our professional stump grinding service.
There isn't one standard price for removing a tree because every project is different.
Tree removal cost is typically affected by:
A smaller tree in an open area can be considerably easier to remove than a mature tree growing between a house and a lake.
That's why Nic's Works provides free estimates. We can evaluate the actual tree and property and provide pricing based on what will be required to complete the job.
One of the most common questions homeowners have is what happens to all the wood and branches after a tree comes down.
Cleanup can be discussed as part of your estimate. Depending on the project, tree material may be chipped, hauled away, cut into manageable sections, or handled according to the agreed scope of work.
If you'd like to keep suitable wood for firewood, ask us about your options when we prepare your estimate.
Our goal is to leave the property clean and make sure you understand exactly what is included before the project begins.
Cutting down a tree does not remove the stump.
For homeowners who want to reclaim the area for lawn, landscaping, or another use, stump grinding is often the next step.
Nic's Works offers professional stump grinding that reduces the remaining stump below the surrounding surface, eliminating the large above-ground obstruction.
Ask us to include stump grinding when requesting your tree removal estimate.
