Large Tree Removal

Large trees can become a serious concern when they outgrow their surroundings, decline in health, or stand too close to homes and other structures. Nic’s Works has the experience and equipment needed to safely remove large trees throughout the Brainerd Lakes Area. We carefully plan each removal to minimize the impact on your home, landscaping, driveway, and surrounding property.

Hazardous Tree Removal

Leaning trees, damaged trunks, weakened branches, and declining trees can create serious safety hazards. Our crew can evaluate the situation and determine the safest approach for removing a dangerous tree. When a tree threatens your home, garage, vehicles, or other areas of your property, Nic’s Works has the equipment and experience to handle challenging removals safely and efficiently.

Dead Tree Removal

Dead and dying trees can become increasingly unstable as their wood and branches weaken. Removing a dead tree before it fails can help protect your home, vehicles, landscaping, and anyone using your property. If you're concerned about a declining tree, Nic’s Works can help determine whether removal is the best option.

Trees Near Homes & Cabins

Tree removal becomes more complicated when a tree is close to a house, cabin, garage, driveway, septic system, landscaping, or other structures. This is especially common on wooded and lakefront properties throughout the Brainerd Lakes Area. Our crew carefully plans these removals and uses the appropriate equipment and techniques to safely dismantle trees in confined spaces.

Storm-Damaged Tree Removal

High winds, heavy snow, ice, and severe thunderstorms can split trees, break large limbs, uproot trees, and leave them dangerously unstable. Nic’s Works provides professional storm-damaged tree removal to help homeowners safely clean up their properties and address hazardous trees after severe weather.

If a damaged tree is threatening a structure or creating an immediate safety concern, contact us as soon as possible.

    How We Remove Trees Safely

    Every tree removal is different. Before work begins, we evaluate the size and condition of the tree, its location, nearby structures, surrounding trees, property access, and potential hazards.

    Depending on the situation, a tree may be removed in sections or taken down using specialized equipment. Our goal is to control the removal process while protecting your home and surrounding property. Once the tree is down, our crew removes the debris and cleans the work area.

    How Much Does Tree Removal Cost?

    The cost of tree removal depends on several factors, including the tree's size, condition, location, accessibility, and proximity to buildings, power lines, landscaping, and other obstacles. Large or hazardous trees that require specialized equipment or additional precautions generally cost more to remove than smaller, easily accessible trees.

    Because every property and tree is different, the best way to determine the cost is to have us evaluate your project. Contact Nic’s Works for a free tree removal estimate.

    What Happens to the Tree After Removal?

    Taking the tree down is only part of the job. After removal, our crew handles the branches, logs, and debris generated during the process and cleans the work area. Our goal is to leave your property looking clean and orderly rather than leaving you with a large pile of tree debris to handle yourself.

    If you would like the stump removed as well, we can discuss stump grinding as part of your project.

    Stump Grinding After Tree Removal

    After a tree is removed, the stump and root base remain in the ground. Stump grinding can eliminate the visible portion of the stump, reduce tripping hazards, improve the appearance of your property, and make the area easier to landscape or return to lawn.

    Nic’s Works offers professional stump grinding services that can be completed along with your tree removal or scheduled separately.

    Tree Removal FAQs

    How do I know if a tree needs to be removed?

    Signs that a tree may need removal include significant deadwood, severe trunk damage, extensive decay, a sudden lean, damaged roots, storm damage, or declining overall health. Trees that pose a threat to homes or other structures should be evaluated promptly.

    Can you remove large trees close to my house?

    Yes. Nic’s Works specializes in challenging tree removals, including large trees located near homes, cabins, garages, driveways, and landscaping. The exact removal method depends on the tree and the surrounding property.

    Do you remove storm-damaged trees?

    Yes. We remove trees damaged by wind, storms, heavy snow, and other severe weather. If a tree has fallen or is dangerously unstable, contact Nic’s Works to discuss the situation.

    Do you remove the stump too?

    Stump grinding can be added to your tree removal project. Grinding the stump below ground level makes the area easier to landscape and eliminates the unsightly stump left behind after removal.

    Do you clean up after removing the tree?

    Yes. Cleanup is an important part of our tree removal service. Our crew removes tree debris from the work area so you aren't left with the cleanup after the tree comes down.

    Can you remove trees from lake properties and cabins?

    Yes. We regularly work on homes, cabins, wooded lots, and lake properties throughout the Brainerd Lakes Area. We can evaluate access and surrounding obstacles to determine the appropriate equipment and removal method for your property.
