Serving Clarkson, Nebraska
Clarkson is the Czech town in northern Colfax County, platted in 1886, home of the Bohemian National Garden and a Czech festival every June, and the longest drive on our list.
Local & Insured
Clarkson is a city of about 640 people in northern Colfax County, Nebraska, 31.7 road miles and about 47 minutes northeast of Columbus, three miles west of the NE-15 and NE-91 junction. Platted in 1886 once a rail line was certain, it is named for postal official T. S. Clarkson.
Czech heritage shows everywhere: an opera house, a historical museum, the Bohemian National Garden and a Czech festival each June. Creek draws of bur oak, hackberry and cottonwood cut the rolling fields, town yards hold silver maple and Siberian elm, and redcedar and Scotch pine windbreaks are dying of pine wilt. It is our longest drive.

Why a Columbus Crew Comes to Clarkson
Clarkson is the slowest drive on our list, and we still make it without a trip charge. Jenna groups it with Leigh work so the estimate date stays quick and you are not waiting on a special trip.
The bur oaks in Clarkson's creek draws are worth keeping, and the cottonwoods beside them are the ones that fail. We take the hazard wood and the leaners and leave the sound oaks working.
Clarkson's older streets have big maples and elms over houses, garages and service drops. We climb, rig and lower every piece, protect the walk and the fence, and rake before we leave.
Clarkson writes its own ordinances, separate from Columbus's. A tree wholly on your lot is your call; for a tree over a city street we suggest a quick call to the city office first, and outside town the rural fire district issues burn permits.
Not for a tree standing wholly on your own lot. Clarkson keeps its own ordinances, so before cutting near a public street we check with the town office. More on our permits page.
Call (402) 555-0173 about storm damage or a tree on the roof and you get a same-day or next-day answer. Jenna books routine estimates within a few days, with most work done inside two weeks.
If a cottonwood in the draw on your Clarkson place is leaning at the barn or a silver maple in town has outgrown the house, call us for a free written estimate.
