L&C Tree RemovalBig old trees in an old river town
Chaska has been around a long time, and so have a lot of its trees. The historic district and the older blocks near downtown have mature oaks and maples that are reaching the end of their safe life — dropping limbs, hollowing out, leaning toward houses. We remove them before they become a problem, and we clean up like we were never there.
Dead ash along the boulevards
Emerald ash borer has killed ash trees all over Chaska — the boulevard ash in neighborhoods off Engler Boulevard and Bavaria Road, the trees around Firemen's Park and the Chaska Town Course. Dead ash is brittle and unpredictable; taking it down safely is our specialty.
Common calls in Chaska

How it works
Chaska tree questions, answered
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Chaska?
If the tree is on your own property, you can usually have it removed without a city permit — but trees on streets and boulevards belong to the city. Chaska also requires limbs over sidewalks and streets to be kept clear, with 8 feet of clearance. If your tree is near the street, text us a photo and we will help you sort out what applies. Source: the city's Code Enforcement Brochure, which states limbs above sidewalks and streets must be trimmed to allow 8 feet of clearance.
