Local & Insured
Lindsay is a village of about 280 people at the north edge of Platte County, Nebraska, 33.7 road miles and about 40 minutes from Columbus by US-81 and NE-91, near Shell Creek at about 1,680 feet. It was platted in 1886 and incorporated on March 7, 1888.
Holy Family Catholic Church on East 3rd Street is the landmark, and Lindsay Manufacturing started building center pivots here in 1955. Cottonwood, bur oak and hackberry fill the Shell Creek draws; the village has Siberian elm, silver maple and spruce, and farm windbreaks are losing pine to pine wilt. It is still Platte County, so there is no trip charge.


Removal, stump grinding, trimming and clearing for the village and the farms at the top of Platte County.




Why a Columbus Crew Comes to Lindsay
Lindsay is the far end of Platte County for us, and it is still our county, so there is no trip charge. Jenna groups it with Humphrey and St. Edward work so the estimate date stays quick.
The cottonwoods along Shell Creek grow big in soft ground and lean toward the water. We rig them down from the dry side in sections and keep the chip truck on the gravel.
Nearly every field around Lindsay has a center pivot, and shelterbelt rows run close to them. Miguel plans the drop zone and the equipment path so the pivot and the buried lines stay untouched.
Lindsay 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. Lindsay 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.
