Tree Removal South of the Platte in Bellwood, NE

Bellwood is a village of about 410 people in Butler County, Nebraska, 14.5 road miles and about 21 minutes from Columbus across the Platte River bridge and south on NE-64. It was laid out in 1890 when the railroad arrived and named for founder Jesse D. Bell. The village keeps its own elementary school; older students ride the bus to David City.

The Platte bottoms just north of town hold cottonwood, black walnut and willow in sandy soil. South of it, flat irrigated farm ground carries redcedar and Scotch pine shelterbelts, and nearly every yard has a dead green ash.

Twenty-One Minutes Over the Bridge

Bellwood is a straight run across the Platte and down NE-64, and we pair it with David City and Rising City work. The Butler County line makes no difference to the price or the wait.

Cottonwoods on the Platte Side

The cottonwoods in the river bottom north of the village grow huge in sandy ground and lean toward the light. A leaner over a house or a shed comes down in sections on ropes, never dropped whole.

Shelterbelt Pines Going Out

Scotch and Austrian pine in the shelterbelts south of Bellwood are dying of pine wilt a tree at a time. We take the dead ones out of the row, leave the live cedar working, and chip the brush so there is nothing to burn.

Village Rules, Butler County Ground

Bellwood is an incorporated village with its own ordinances, so a tree over a village street means a call to the village office. A tree on your own lot is your decision; outside the village, Butler County and the rural fire district handle burn permits.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Bellwood?

Not for a tree standing wholly on your own lot. Bellwood keeps its own ordinances, so before cutting near a public street we check with the town office. More on our permits page.
