Removing a tree is dangerous work – trust the experienced professionals at Lakeland Tree Service. We specialize in safe, controlled tree removal for homeowners in Willmar, MN and nearby communities. Whether you have a dead tree threatening your roof, a diseased ash tree, or just an unwanted tree blocking your view of Green Lake, our team can take it down safely and efficiently.
Fully insured and equipped with bucket trucks, ropes, and rigging, we handle everything from tall pines to storm-damaged trunks. When it comes to tree removal, we’ve got you covered – without a mess left behind.
Assessment & Quote: Every removal starts with a free on-site evaluation. We assess the tree’s size, condition, proximity to structures, and the best approach (fell in one piece vs. sectional dismantling). We’ll explain any risks and give you a transparent quote upfront.
Preparation: On removal day, we arrive with the right equipment – bucket truck or climbing gear, chainsaws, wood chippers, etc. We’ll discuss the plan with you (and neighbors if needed). We lay down mats to protect your lawn and position our crew for safety.
Safe Removal: Our skilled climbers will prune and rope down branches first. Then we cut the trunk in sections from the top down. In open areas, we may fell the tree in one controlled cut. Throughout the process, we use ropes and wedges to ensure the tree falls exactly where intended. No free-fall crashes on your property!
Cleanup & Disposal: After the tree is down, we cut the wood into manageable pieces. Usable firewood can be left for you (or stacked neatly), or we haul everything away – your choice. Branches are fed through our chipper, creating mulch. We rake the area, remove debris, and can even fill in the stump hole if needed. When we leave, it’ll look like the tree was never there.
Tree removal costs vary depending on the tree’s size, location, and complexity. In Willmar and surrounding areas, small tree removals might start around a few hundred dollars, while large or hazardous trees can be $1,000+. We provide a firm quote after an on-site assessment. Rest assured, our prices are fair for the quality, and we’re happy to discuss options.
Typically on private residential property in rural MN or Willmar, no permit is required for tree removal. However, if the tree is on city property or near power lines, special permissions may be needed. We can help guide you if permits or utility coordination are necessary.
We take strong precautions to protect your property. We use ground protection mats to prevent lawn damage from equipment. We lower branches carefully rather than letting them crash down. Our goal is zero impact except the missing tree. After cleanup, your lawn and yard should be just as intact as before (often better, without the problematic tree!).
"Our neighbor had Lakeland tree service take a tree down for him. We had a group of very large, and old trees that needed to be removed and these guys did a great job of taking them out in two days. I inquired one day while they were working, if we could talk to them about this job and they said they could finish up the current job and begin at our place tomorrow. They gave us a price and started our job before they left that same day. Lakeland tree service was wonderful to work with and they had great attitudes. Everything was cleaned up so nicely you would never know we just had that big job done.Totally recommend these guys. Thank you so much Lakeland tree Service! Happy customer😎"

We take every precaution – using proper rigging, surveying the drop zone, and having spotters on the ground. Our team has removed hundreds of trees without incident. We’re also insured, so you’re fully protected.
Tree next to a house, fence, or nestled between power lines and a shed? No problem. We excel at technical removals. Using climbing and roping techniques, we can dismantle trees in confined spaces piece by piece, preventing damage to surrounding structures and landscaping.
From a 80-foot oak to a small ornamental, we handle removals of any size. We don’t shy away from big jobs – and we give the same attention to detail to a single sapling removal as a multi-tree lot clearing.
Many companies cut and run – leaving you with logs or a mess. We believe the job isn’t done until your yard is spotless. We’ll haul away all wood and debris unless you request otherwise. We can also cut logs into firewood for you on request.
