Tree Removal in the County Seat, Madison, NE

Madison is the Madison County seat, a city of about 2,300 people 30.7 road miles and about 36 minutes north of Columbus on US-81, near the NE-32 junction. Founded in 1867 and named for the county, it became the seat in 1875. Union Creek runs just north of downtown toward the Elkhorn, and the Tyson pork plant employs about 1,200.

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.

Thirty-Six Minutes North on US-81

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.

Union Creek Cottonwoods

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.

Street Trees on the Older Blocks

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.

A City With Its Own Code

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.

Quick Madison Answers

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Madison?

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.
