Tree Removal on Home Ground in Platte Center, NE

Platte Center is a village of about 330 people in Platte County, Nebraska, 11.5 road miles and about 16 minutes north of Columbus. Wade Kucera grew up on a row-crop and cattle farm just north of it. The railroad platted the town in 1880, it incorporated in 1885, and the name comes from its spot near the middle of the county.

This is upland corn and soybean ground at about 1,500 feet, with a redcedar and Austrian pine shelterbelt on most farmsteads, many rows now dying of age and pine wilt. The December 2021 derecho sent an EF-1 tornado through the village, and the crew spent that winter cleaning up after it.

The Owner's Home Road

Wade drives through Platte Center most weeks of his life, and his family still farms north of it. An estimate here is usually booked within a couple of days, and a storm call gets a same-day look.

Shelterbelts Past Their Prime

The redcedar and Austrian pine rows planted around Platte Center farmsteads decades ago are dying of age and pine wilt. We take out the dead and leaning trees, keep the row working as a windbreak, and chip the brush on site.

Trees That Have Already Seen a Tornado

The EF-1 in the December 2021 derecho cracked leaders and lifted roots on trees that are still standing. We look for old splits, lifted soil and hanging wood before the next storm season and tell you what is sound.

Village Office, Rural Fire District

Platte Center is an incorporated village with its own ordinances, so a tree over a village street means a call to the village office first. A tree on your own lot is your decision, and outside the village limits a brush pile needs a burn permit from the rural fire district.
