Minnesota River valley cottonwoods
Belle Plaine sits in the Minnesota River valley, and the valley grows big cottonwoods that storm damage hits hard. We remove dead and storm-damaged cottonwoods around town before they land on homes, fences, and sheds.
Aging shade trees on Main Street
The older blocks off Main Street and around Tiger Park have big shade trees that are aging out — and emerald ash borer has killed the ash planted along Highway 169 and the neighborhood streets. Dead ash is brittle and dangerous; removing it safely is what we do best.
