Serving Genoa, Nebraska
Genoa is the Nance County town on the Loup where the Loup Power canal begins, founded by Mormons in 1857 and later the site of the U.S. Indian Industrial School.
Local & Insured
Genoa is a city of about 890 people in Nance County, Nebraska, 21.9 road miles and about 28 minutes west of Columbus by NE-22. Mormons founded it in 1857 and left in 1859 when the land joined the Pawnee Reservation; later it was home to the U.S. Indian Industrial School.
The Loup Power canal begins at headworks on the Loup between Fullerton and Genoa. Work started in 1934, power flowed in 1937, and the water runs 35 miles past Monroe to Lake Babcock, Lake North and the Columbus powerhouse. The Loup bottoms grow cottonwood, walnut and willow; town yards hold silver maple, Siberian elm and dead ash.

Why a Columbus Crew Comes to Genoa
Genoa is the end of our run west past Monroe, and we make it without a trip charge. Jenna pairs it with Silver Creek and Fullerton work so the estimate date stays quick.
The cottonwoods along the Loup and the canal grow tall and heavy in sandy ground. A leaner over a roof comes down in sections on ropes from the dry side, never dropped toward the water or the canal bank.
Genoa's older streets have big silver maples and elms over houses, garages and service drops. We climb and rig every piece, protect the walk and the fence, and rake the yard before we leave.
Genoa 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 handles burn permits.
Not for a tree standing wholly on your own lot. Genoa 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 on your Genoa river lot is leaning at the house or a silver maple downtown has outgrown the garage, call us for a free written estimate.
