« Had Lincoln Tree Service come out to assess a couple of our older trees before the storm season hit. The arborist spent time really looking at the root structure and branch integrity, took photos with his tablet, and gave us a detailed report on which ones were safe and which needed attention. Super helpful and put our minds at ease. »
Arborist Consultation
« Our hedges were completely overgrown and looked terrible. Lincoln Tree Service trimmed them back to shape in one afternoon, three guys working efficiently. They hauled everything away too, so we didn't have a mess to deal with. Looks like a totally different yard now. »
Hedge Trimming & Shrub Care
« We weren't sure if we should keep or remove a row of trees on our property line. The arborist came out, examined them thoroughly, and explained the pros and cons of each option. Really professional advice that helped us make the right decision for our farm. »
Arborist Consultation
« After we had a tree taken down, we were stuck with this massive stump in the middle of our backyard. Lincoln Tree Service ground it out completely, didn't leave a trace. The crew cleaned up all the chips and debris same day. Can't believe how smooth the ground is now. »
Stump Grinding
« Dead oak tree right next to our driveway was a safety hazard. Lincoln Tree Service removed it carefully and ground the stump flush with the ground so we could actually use the space again. The whole job took about 4 hours and they were super careful not to damage the driveway. Worth every penny. »
Tree Removal & Stump Grinding
« Our big oak was hanging over the roof and dropping branches everywhere. The crew came in and pruned it back professionally, really knew what they were doing with the cuts. It's still a beautiful tree, just safer now and not threatening the house anymore. »
Tree Trimming & Pruning
« Young tree in our yard got damaged in a storm and was leaning pretty bad. Wasn't sure if it could be saved, but Lincoln Tree Service pruned the damaged branches and stabilized it. Guy said it should recover fine. Really grateful they could fix it instead of just cutting it down. »
Tree Trimming & Pruning
« We have this gorgeous old oak in the front yard that we wanted to keep healthy and looking good. Lincoln Tree Service did a beautiful job trimming it up, selective pruning that actually improved the shape without making it look hacked up. Neighbors have been asking who did the work. »

For homeowners searching for tree service near me in Lincoln, Nebraska, Lincoln Tree Service is your trusted local partner. We've built our reputation by serving residential and commercial properties throughout Lincoln, Waverly, Hickman, Crete, and Seward with professional, reliable tree care. Whether you need a mature oak or maple removed, storm damage assessed, or routine maintenance performed, our team brings licensed, insured expertise to every job.
We understand the unique challenges that Lincoln-area properties face: mature trees on residential lots, HOA communities with strict landscape guidelines, and the occasional hazardous limb threatening a roofline or power line. That's why we're here. When you need tree service in Lincoln and the surrounding areas, call us for a free estimate and discover the difference professional care makes.
Tree removal is one of the most critical services we provide, especially when storm damage or hazardous conditions put your home and family at risk. A large tree that's weakened by wind, disease, or age can fail without warning, potentially crashing onto your roof, vehicle, or power lines. Lincoln Tree Service responds to these emergencies 24/7, equipped with the expertise and equipment to safely remove fallen trees, cut down hazardous limbs, and clear debris before further damage occurs. Whether a summer thunderstorm has left a tree leaning against your house or a winter ice storm has snapped branches overhead, our Emergency Tree Service team is ready to help.
Storm damage and fallen trees demand immediate action. A tree that's partially uprooted or hanging over a structure becomes more dangerous with each passing hour. Our crews are trained in rapid assessment and safe removal techniques that minimize risk to your property and neighbors. We handle everything from cutting up and removing large sections to hauling debris and grinding stumps, leaving your yard clean and safe. If you're facing an emergency, call us right now at (531) 229-0743. We'll dispatch a team as quickly as possible.
Beyond emergencies, we also perform planned Tree Removal for trees that are dead, diseased, or simply taking up space you'd rather use differently. Whether it's a large oak that's past its prime or a smaller tree crowding your landscape, we handle the entire process safely and professionally. Every removal is licensed and insured, so you can rest assured that your property is protected and the job is done right.
The cost of tree removal and other tree services in Lincoln depends on several factors: the size and species of the tree, how easily we can access it, its proximity to your home or other structures, and the complexity of the work involved. A small tree in an open yard costs far less than a large oak next to your house or a pine towering over power lines. Stump grinding, cleanup, and disposal also factor into your final price. For a detailed breakdown of what to expect, visit our pricing page or contact us for a personalized quote based on your specific situation.
Beyond tree removal, Lincoln Tree Service offers a full range of care services to keep your landscape healthy and beautiful. Our Stump Grinding service removes unsightly stumps and opens up space for new plantings or landscaping. Regular Tree Trimming and Pruning maintains tree health, encourages strong growth, and prevents future hazards, especially during the dormant season when pruning is most effective. We also provide Hedge Trimming and Shrub Care, Land Clearing for larger properties, and Arborist Consultation to help you make informed decisions about your trees.
If you're planning to remove a tree in Lincoln, be aware that many cities require a tree removal permit, particularly for trees above a certain size or trees designated as protected heritage species. Oak, cedar, and other mature trees may fall under local ordinances designed to preserve the urban forest and neighborhood character. Additionally, if your property is part of an HOA community, you may need approval before removing a visible tree. Lincoln Tree Service can advise you on the permitting process and help ensure your removal complies with local regulations. We recommend checking with your local building department or contacting us for guidance, and we're happy to assist you in navigating these requirements.
