Pick what fits your tree. Nate still walks the yard before we put a number in writing, but this is where it will usually land.

How a removal day goes

Most residential removals take one day. Big trees over a roof can take two. You do not need to be home for the work itself.

What neighbors say

4.9 out of 5 from 186 reviews on Google. A few recent ones:

Two huge silver maples, one leaning toward the garage. Nate's price was the middle of three quotes and the only one that included the stumps. They were done by 4, and my lawn looked better than before they came.

Linda R.Pettigrew Heights, Sioux Falls

Kari answered the phone on a Saturday and had us on the schedule for Tuesday. They left the oak rounds stacked like a store display.

Marcus T.Harrisburg

Three ash stumps ground for $310. Fast, polite, and they raked the chips back in so it was ready for seed.

Nate climbs. Kari runs the schedule.

Nate Bergstrom started cutting trees for a Sioux Falls tree company in 2006 and bought his own chipper in 2013. Kari keeps the calendar, writes the estimates up and answers the phone, usually on the first ring.

The crew is four people: Nate, his cousin Jake, and two ground guys who have been with us for years. Same faces on every job, and we do not sub work out.

Questions we get every week

Do you need me home for the estimate?

No. Most people text us a photo and leave the gate unlocked. Nate walks the yard, and Kari emails the written price the same evening.

How soon can you take a tree down?

Usually within 1 to 2 weeks. A tree that is cracked, leaning or hung up after a storm goes to the front of the line, often the same or next day.

Should I remove my ash tree?

Emerald ash borer is in Sioux Falls. If more than a third of the crown is bare, removal is usually the honest answer. Healthy ash can be treated; we will tell you which yours is.

Will the truck wreck my lawn?

We lay plywood mats wherever the truck or grinder rolls. On soft spring ground we may carry pieces out by hand instead. Ruts are on us.

Do I need a city permit?

Not for trees on your own lot. Boulevard trees between the sidewalk and street need a free city permit, and we file it for you.

How do I pay?

After the job, once you have walked the yard. Check, card or Venmo. No deposit on jobs under $2,500.
