Tree Trimming in Kasson

Kasson is a small city in Dodge County on US-14, roughly 15 miles west of Rochester, and it functions as both a local service center and a commuter town. Housing is a mix of post-war bungalows in the older core and 1990s-2000s ranch homes in newer outlying developments. Mature elms and oaks on the older residential streets are now large enough to require professional work. Kasson has been growing steadily, bringing in homeowners who are new to rural-edge tree maintenance.

Rochester gets real winters. Ice storms hit the Southeast Heights and Folwell neighborhoods hard, and silver maple branches — which snap faster than most people expect — end up on roofs, fences, and power lines. A lot of the trees in this area were planted in the 1960s and 1970s when those neighborhoods were built, which means they're big now and overdue for attention. Ignoring overgrown or cracked limbs doesn't save money. It usually means a bigger cleanup bill later, or a call to your insurance company.

We look at the whole tree before we touch it — where the weight is sitting, which limbs are dead or cracked, and what's underneath. Cutting the wrong branch in the wrong order can split a trunk or drop a limb somewhere you didn't plan, so we work top-down with the right equipment for the size of the job.
