Serving Leigh, Nebraska
Leigh is the Colfax County village on NE-91 northeast of Columbus, with a post office since 1875 and a name taken from the first postmaster's wife.
Local & Insured
Leigh is a village of about 435 people in Colfax County, Nebraska, 26.3 road miles and about 40 minutes northeast of Columbus by county roads and NE-91, at about 1,580 feet. Its post office opened in 1875 and took the maiden name of the first postmaster's wife. Biochemist Audrey Stevens Niyogi, co-discoverer of RNA polymerase, was born nearby.
The land rolls here, with creek draws of bur oak and hackberry, cottonwoods along the creeks, Siberian elm and silver maple in the village, and redcedar and Scotch pine windbreaks dying of pine wilt. The drive runs longer than the miles, so Jenna books Leigh with Clarkson.

Why a Columbus Crew Comes to Leigh
Leigh is a back-road drive northeast, so Jenna groups it with Clarkson and Creston estimates and the dates come quickly. Crossing into Colfax County costs you nothing.
The bur oaks and hackberries in the creek draws around Leigh are the best trees in the township, and the cottonwoods along the water are the biggest. We take the hazard wood first and only recommend removal when the trunk or roots have failed.
Leigh's farm lanes and field edges roll more than the valley floor. Miguel plans the equipment path so nothing ruts a field or a lawn, and the chipper stays on the gravel.
Leigh 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; on the farms, a brush pile needs a rural fire district burn permit first.
Not for a tree standing wholly on your own lot. Leigh 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 Leigh farm is leaning at the barn or a shelterbelt pine row has died, call us for a free written estimate.
