Madison closes out our US-81 run through Humphrey. In town, silver maples, hackberries and Siberian elms hang over roofs and service drops; along Union Creek, cottonwood and black walnut fill the low ground, and dead ash turns up everywhere.

Why a Columbus Crew Comes to Madison
Madison is a straight highway run north through Humphrey, and we make it without a trip charge. Jenna groups Madison with Humphrey and Lindsay work so the estimate date stays quick.
The cottonwoods and walnuts along Union Creek grow big in soft ground and lean toward the water. We rig them down from the dry side and keep the chip truck on firm ground.
Madison's silver maples and elms stand over roofs, sidewalks and power drops. We call the utility, rig every limb and lower it so nothing lands on a line.
Madison writes its own ordinances, separate from Columbus's and from Madison 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.
Not for a tree standing wholly on your own lot. Madison 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 along Union Creek is leaning at your Madison house or a silver maple downtown has split over the garage, call us for a free written estimate.
