How much does tree removal cost in Central Minnesota?

Tree removal cost depends on the tree's size, condition, location, and how close it is to buildings or power lines. A small, open-yard tree costs far less than a large hazardous tree over a roof. We provide free, no-obligation quotes so you know the exact price before any work begins.

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

Warning signs include a sudden or increasing lean, deep cracks or splits in the trunk, dead or hanging limbs, mushrooms or rot at the base, and missing bark. If you notice any of these, schedule a free assessment. We'll give you an honest answer on whether the tree can be saved or should come down.

What is the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?

Stump grinding uses a machine to grind the stump down below ground level, leaving the roots to decay naturally. Stump removal pulls out the entire stump and main root ball. Grinding is faster, cleaner, and less disruptive for most yards, while full removal is best when you plan to build or dig in that spot.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. All of our tree service quotes are free with no pressure and no obligation. Call 320-333-6776 or fill out our contact form at https://inthewoodstreecare.com/contact to schedule yours.

Is In The Woods Tree Care insured?

Yes. We're fully insured, so your home and property are protected while we work. Ask us for proof of insurance anytime.

Do you offer emergency tree removal?

Yes. If a storm drops a tree on your home, vehicle, fence, or driveway, call us at 320-333-6776. We respond as quickly as possible to secure the area, remove the hazard, and prevent further damage.

When is the best time to trim or prune trees in Minnesota?

Late fall through early spring, while trees are dormant, is usually the best time to prune in Minnesota. Dormant pruning reduces stress on the tree and lowers the risk of disease, especially for oaks, which should not be pruned from April through July to prevent oak wilt. Dead or hazardous branches can be removed any time of year.

Do you clean up after the job?

Yes. Cleanup is included on every job. We haul away branches, logs, brush, and debris and leave your property cleaner than we found it.

What Is Storm Debris Removal?

Storm debris removal is the collection and hauling away of branches, limbs, brush, logs, and other tree debris left behind after severe weather. It's usually the final step after any hazardous trees and limbs have been dealt with, and it's what gets your yard back to looking and feeling normal.

Storm debris removal and cleanup in Central Minnesota

Storm Debris We Remove

Branches and Limbs

From small branches scattered across the lawn to large limbs torn from the canopy, we pick them up and haul them off.

Brush and Twigs

The small stuff adds up fast. We rake up and remove brush and twigs from lawns, gardens, and landscaped areas.

Logs and Trunk Sections

Heavy logs and trunk pieces left after a tree comes down are hard to move on your own. We load them up and take them away.

Debris in the Woods and Along Fence Lines

Storm debris doesn't just land in the yard. We clear branches and brush from wooded areas, fence lines, and property edges.

Piles You've Already Gathered

Already done the hard work of dragging everything into a pile? We'll haul it away. You don't need us to do the whole job to get the debris gone.

Already Started Cleaning Up? We'll Finish It.

Many homeowners start storm cleanup themselves. They pick up branches, stack wood, and build brush piles, then realize they have no way to get rid of it all. That's where we come in. Whether you've cleaned up half the yard or just need a few big piles gone, our debris cleanup and haul-away services take care of the rest.

Your Options for Getting Rid of Storm Debris

City Curbside Pickup or Drop-Off Sites

Some cities offer brush pickup or drop-off sites after major storms. These programs can help, but they often have limits on branch size and pile size, and wait times can stretch for weeks after a big storm. Check with your city for what's available.

Hauling It Yourself

Renting a trailer or making trip after trip in a pickup works for small amounts of debris, but it's slow, heavy work, especially with logs and large limbs.

Burning Brush Piles

Burning may seem like an easy option, but it often requires a burning permit and can be restricted depending on where you live and current fire conditions. Always check local rules before burning.

Hiring a Storm Debris Removal Service

A professional crew can clear and haul away all of your storm debris in far less time, without waiting on city pickup and without the heavy lifting on your part.

Why You Shouldn't Leave Brush Piles Sitting

It kills your lawn. Grass smothered under debris quickly yellows and dies.

It attracts pests. Brush piles make an easy home for rodents and insects.

It becomes fire fuel. Once branches dry out, a large brush pile can become a fire hazard.

It hides hazards. Debris can cover holes, stumps, and broken limbs that someone could trip on.

It's an eyesore. A yard full of storm debris makes your whole property look unfinished.

Storm Debris Removal for Larger Properties

Storms can scatter debris across acres of land, not just a single yard. We handle storm debris removal on larger properties, too, clearing fields, woods, trails, and access roads so your land is usable again. If your property needs more than debris removal, like stump grinding or reopening trails, see our property restoration services.

Neighbors Helping Neighbors

After a storm, it's often the whole neighborhood that's cleaning up. That's when community matters most. In The Woods Tree Care was founded by Kristie Jones and Travis Moshier after overcoming addiction and rebuilding their lives, and part of our mission is to make a positive impact on the communities we serve.

Every storm debris cleanup is a chance to help a neighbor get back on their feet. We show up, work hard, and leave your property cleaner than we found it. Rooted in Safety. Built on Sobriety.
