Certified Tree Services for Columbus, MN’s Wooded and Wetland Lots

Large lots. Winding driveways. Wetland buffers. In Columbus, MN, these beautiful features often bring big tree care challenges. From limbs dropped in a snowstorm to overgrown treelines crowding homes and barns, rural properties need more than just a chainsaw.

That’s where Trees Et Cetera comes in. Our local crew handles trimming, removal, storm cleanup, and land clearing with skill, precision, and no surprises. We’re ISA-certified, fully insured, and trusted across Anoka County.

What Makes Tree Care in Columbus Different?

Columbus trees grow tall and wide—but in this landscape, they can also fall hard. Between long winters, saturated soils, and wetland-adjacent lots, many risks stay hidden until it’s too late. Homeowners often call us for:

  • Leaning trees near barns or power lines

  • Dense brush along gravel driveways and fence lines

  • Limbs damaged by snow loads or high winds

  • Root instability in clay-heavy, poorly draining soil

From Lake Drive to Zurich Street to forested backroads, we’ve seen it all—and we’re equipped to handle it.

Tree Trimming That Protects What Matters

Pruning is more than aesthetics. Done right, it boosts tree health, reduces storm risk, and opens up your landscape. Our arborists trim to:

  • Improve airflow and structure

  • Prevent breakage near roofs and driveways

  • Restore light to gardens, windows, or patios

Regular trimming also helps your trees live longer and look better.

Emergency Tree Cleanup After Storms

Columbus sees its share of weather extremes—icy rain, snowstorms, high winds. When a limb falls or access is blocked, our local team responds fast. We safely remove:

  • Fallen trees and large limbs

  • Obstructions in driveways or walkways

  • Dangerous hangers or cracked canopies

We serve homes, hobby farms, and rural lots with the same care and urgency.

Tree Risk Evaluations from Root to Canopy

Not every threat is obvious. Our full evaluations look for:

  • Internal decay or pest damage

  • Shifting root plates and stress cracks

  • Structural weaknesses from weather stress

Columbus lies in USDA Hardiness Zone 4b, where freeze-thaw cycles and moisture retention take a toll. Our evaluations help you catch risks before they become emergencies.

Tree Removal You Can Trust

Some trees need to go—whether they’re threatening structures or clearing the way for something new. Our team specializes in low-impact, controlled removals of:

  • Dead or dangerous trees near homes and power lines

  • Trees interfering with building sites or drainage

  • Storm-damaged trees that pose ongoing risk

We use advanced rigging to protect your lawn, structures, and other trees during takedown.

Clearing Trails, Overgrowth & Large Lots

Building a barn? Reclaiming space? We clear land for:

  • Fence lines, paths, and driveways

  • Shrubs, saplings, and invasive species
