Tree Removal in the County Seat, David City, NE

David City is the Butler County seat, a city of about 3,000 people 25.8 road miles and about 35 minutes south of Columbus by way of the Platte bridge and Bellwood. It was founded in 1873 when residents wanted a more central seat than Savannah, and it has the Thorpe Opera House, the Bone Creek Museum of Agrarian Art and a courthouse.

The older blocks carry silver maples, hackberries and Siberian elms over roofs and service drops, with spruce and honeylocust in newer areas and dead ash on most streets. The December 2021 derecho put an 84 mph gust on the gauge here, and the crew worked Butler County for weeks.

Thirty-Five Minutes South

David City is the far end of our Butler County run and we make it without a trip charge. Jenna groups it with Bellwood and Rising City work so the estimate date stays quick.

Old Blocks, Big Shade Trees

The silver maples and hackberries planted with David City's older houses stand over roofs, sidewalks and power drops. We call the utility, rig every limb and lower it so nothing lands on a line or a porch.

Wind-Damaged Trees Still Standing

An 84 mph gust leaves cracked leaders and hanging wood that can stay up for years. We look at what the derecho left before the next storm season and tell you plainly what should come down.

A City With Its Own Code

David City writes its own ordinances, separate from Columbus's and from Butler County's. A tree wholly on your lot is your call; for a tree on the boulevard or over a city street we suggest a quick call to the city office first.
