Lincoln's tree canopy is one of its defining features, with mature hackberries, honeylocusts, and American elms shading everything from the Near South bungalow blocks to the wide lots of Southeast Lincoln subdivisions. When those trees need professional care, Lincoln Tree Service is the crew Lincoln homeowners and property managers trust.

Since 2015, we've been removing hazardous trees, trimming storm-damaged limbs, and grinding stumps across Lincoln and the surrounding area. Whether you're dealing with a fallen tree after an ice storm, branches hanging over your roof, or routine pruning to keep your landscape healthy, we know Lincoln's trees and we know how to work safely in tight residential lots, around power lines, and in HOA communities where permits and approvals matter.

Tree Service in Lincoln (68508)

Lincoln's neighborhoods present real tree service challenges. Many homes sit on mature lots with oaks, maples, pines, and cedars that have been growing for decades. In the Southeast subdivisions, trees are often large and close to structures, power lines, and neighboring properties. Near South's older bungalows frequently have trees planted when lots were smaller, so removal or major pruning requires careful planning and sometimes city permits. Ice storms and heavy summer thunderstorms regularly damage branches and topple trees, and we respond year-round to those emergencies.

Our licensed crews understand Lincoln's tree removal permit requirements, which apply to trees above a certain diameter. We handle the paperwork, coordinate with the city, and manage removals on properties where heritage tree ordinances or HOA approval is needed. We've been serving Lincoln since 2015, and we've learned every neighborhood from the North 27th corridor to the Southeast residential blocks.

How a Job Works in Lincoln

Step 1: You call us at (531) 229-0743 or request a free estimate online. We schedule a visit to your Lincoln property, assess the tree or trees, check for power lines, property line issues, and access challenges, and give you a clear estimate with no surprises.

Step 2: Once you approve, our crew arrives with the right equipment for your lot. In Lincoln's tighter residential areas, we often work with smaller cranes or bucket trucks to avoid damage to driveways and neighboring yards. We handle all debris removal, chip branches on-site when possible, and coordinate with the city if permits are required. For stump grinding, we grind below grade so you can plant or build over the spot.

Step 3: We clean up thoroughly, haul away all debris, and do a final walkthrough with you. Your property is left clean and ready to use.

Tree removal in Lincoln typically ranges from $500 to $3,500 depending on the tree's size, species, location, and whether it's near power lines or structures. Trimming and pruning start at $250 for smaller jobs and scale up with tree height and complexity. Stump grinding runs from $150 for small stumps to $400 or more for large ones. Emergency removal after storm damage may cost more due to hazard factors and urgency, but we always give you a free estimate before we start. The best way to know your actual cost is to call us at (531) 229-0743 for a no-obligation assessment of your specific situation.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Lincoln?
In many cases, yes. Lincoln requires permits for tree removal above a certain diameter, and some trees may be protected under heritage tree ordinances. Our crew knows the local rules and will handle permit applications for you. When you call for your free estimate, we'll tell you exactly what's required for your property.
What should I do if a tree falls on my house or car during a storm?
Call us immediately at (531) 229-0743. We offer emergency tree removal 24/7, and we'll dispatch a crew to assess the damage, remove the hazard safely, and document everything for your insurance claim. Don't try to remove it yourself or cut branches near power lines.
How much does it cost to remove a large tree in Lincoln?
A large mature oak or elm in Lincoln typically costs $1,500 to $3,500 to remove, depending on height, proximity to structures, and whether the lot is tight or open. Access is a big factor. We give free estimates, so call (531) 229-0743 to get a real number for your tree.
What's the best time of year to trim trees in Lincoln?
Late fall through winter (dormant season) is ideal for most species because pruning during dormancy minimizes disease risk and stress to the tree. However, we handle emergency pruning year-round, especially after summer storms when broken limbs threaten your roof or power lines.
My neighbor's tree branches hang over my property line. What can I do?
You have the right to trim branches that cross your property line, but we recommend a friendly conversation first. If you'd rather have professionals handle it, we can prune the overhanging limbs safely. Some HOA communities require approval before work on visible trees, so we'll coordinate if needed.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Lincoln Tree Service is fully licensed and insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. Our crews are trained professionals, and we carry the coverage you need for peace of mind when we're working on your property.
Can you help with hedge trimming and shrub care?
Absolutely. We offer hedge trimming and shrub care starting at $45, and our arborist consultation service (from $95) is great if you want professional advice on how to care for your landscape long-term. Call (531) 229-0743 to discuss your needs.
