Tree care, start to finish.
From a single yard pruning to a full lot-clear, including the dirt work and light landscaping to leave the yard finished. Every job handled by John personally, with same-week scheduling while the bigger Bismarck outfits are weeks out.
Tree Removal
Complete, safe removal of any tree on your property, yard, farmstead, hazardous leaners, or storm-damaged. Brush, chips, and stump cleanup all included unless you’d rather keep the wood.
- Assessment of the tree, surroundings, and drop zone
- Climbing or rigging for trees near structures or wires
- Complete felling, bucking, and limb-up
- Brush chipping and haul-off (or stack on-site if you want firewood)
- Stump grinding available as an add-on
- Yard left clean, raked and walked before we leave
Tree Trimming & Pruning
The right cuts in the right places. Healthy pruning extends the life of a tree, prevents storm damage, and keeps your yard looking like someone cares for it.
- Crown raising for clearance over walks, drives, and rooflines
- Deadwood removal for safety and tree health
- Structural pruning for younger trees to set them up right
- Crown thinning to reduce wind sail on storm-prone trees
- Shaping mature shade and yard trees
- Cleanup and haul-off of all trimmings
Stump Grinding
Get that old stump out of the way for good, so you can mow over it, plant on it, or just stop tripping on it. Self-propelled grinder handles stumps up to 30″ or more.
- Grind to 6–8" below grade for replanting or mowing
- Surface roots ground out within working reach
- Chip cleanup and haul-off, or backfill the hole
- Multiple-stump jobs priced as a package
- Often bundled with removals for a discount

- Same-week response for any damage in the service area
- Downed trees, broken limbs, hung-up branches, leaners
- Trees pulled off houses, sheds, vehicles, and fences (where safe)
- Full debris removal and yard cleanup
- Detailed invoice and photos for your records

Lot & Shelter-Belt Clearing
Acreage jobs, fence lines, building sites, windbreaks, farmstead clean-outs. We handle the scale of work most yard-tree outfits can’t or won’t take on.
- Shelter-belt renovation: remove dead, dying, or volunteer trees
- Fence-line and pasture clearing
- Building site clearing for new construction
- Windbreak cleanup after storms or for re-planting
- Acreage pricing, walked and quoted on-site
- Burn pile prep, chip on-site, or full haul-off, your call
Ash Tree & EAB Removals
Emerald ash borer is confirmed in North Dakota. Removing an unhealthy ash before it dies is half the cost (and twice as safe) as removing a dead one a few years from now.
- Honest assessment: does this ash actually need to come down?
- Proactive removal of declining or at-risk ash trees
- Compliance with ND quarantine rules on hardwood disposal
- Stump grinding for replanting with a resistant species
- Recommendations on what to plant in place of the ash
- Volume pricing for properties with multiple ash trees

Dirt Work
When the tree’s gone and the stump’s ground, the yard usually needs some grade work. John brings the equipment to backfill, level, and prep for whatever comes next.
- Backfill and level after stump grinding
- Yard grading and small site prep
- Driveway and access-path rough grading
- Small excavation jobs (drainage, fence post lines, etc.)
- Topsoil placement before seeding or sodding
- Most often bundled with removal + landscape jobs
Light Landscaping
Once a tree’s down and the dirt’s level, the yard’s ready for the finish work. John handles topsoil, seeding, light planting, and yard cleanup so the property looks finished, not like a job site.
- Topsoil delivery and placement
- Grass seed or sod over disturbed areas
- Mulch beds and rock work around new plantings
- Replacement tree planting (with species recommendations)
- Light brush and yard cleanup beyond the tree work
- Bundled with removal for a one-stop finish
