Local & Insured
Rising City is a village of about 360 people in Butler County, Nebraska, 22.1 road miles and about 28 minutes south of Columbus on NE-92, between David City and Shelby. It began in 1878 when the railway arrived and is named for A. W. and S. W. Rising, who owned the townsite. CliffsNotes founder Cliff Hillegass grew up here.
With no river nearby, the work is planted trees: Siberian elm and silver maple by older houses, sturdier hackberry and honeylocust, spruce in newer yards, redcedar and Scotch pine windbreaks, and ash killed by the borer. We pair it with David City and Bellwood.


Removal, stump grinding, trimming and clearing for the village and the farms along NE-92.




Why a Columbus Crew Comes to Rising City
Rising City is on the road between David City and Shelby, so Jenna groups estimates here with Butler and Polk County work. The county line makes no difference to the price.
Silver maple and Siberian elm planted around Rising City's houses decades ago are coming apart at the crotch. We take the split leaders and the limbs over the roof and reduce the rest instead of topping.
Windbreak rows around the farmsteads here run close to center pivots and service drops. Miguel plans the drop zone before a saw starts, and a dead row comes out with the skid steer while the live cedar stays.
Rising City 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; outside the village, the rural fire district issues burn permits.
Not for a tree standing wholly on your own lot. Rising City 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.
