Tree Removal in the Swede Capital, Stromsburg, NE

Stromsburg is the largest city in Polk County, Nebraska, 34.3 road miles and about 42 minutes south of Columbus at about 1,680 feet. Swedish settlers led by Lewis Headstrom came in the 1860s and named it for part of Ockelbo, Sweden. Two brickyards ran by the 1880s, and brick streets still ring the square.

Governor Frank B. Morrison named it the Swede Capital of Nebraska at the 1966 Swedish Festival, still held each June. The older blocks have silver maples, hackberries and Siberian elms over roofs and service drops, dead ash on most streets, and windbreaks on the farms around town.

Forty-Two Minutes South

Stromsburg is the south end of our list, and we make it without a trip charge. Jenna groups it with Osceola and Shelby work so the estimate date stays quick.

Trees Over Brick Streets

The maples and elms planted with Stromsburg's older houses stand over brick streets, roofs and service drops. We climb, rig and lower every piece and schedule street-side work for quiet weekday mornings.

Dead Ash on the Older Blocks

Green ash that the borer killed is brittle and unsafe to climb. We take it from the bucket while the wood still holds, chip everything, and leave nothing at the curb.

A City With Its Own Code

Stromsburg writes its own ordinances, separate from Columbus's and from Polk 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.
