“My oak tree's bark was getting damaged and overgrown branches were rubbing against it. Rochester Tree Service came out and carefully pruned back the problem limbs without taking down the whole tree. They really knew what they were doing, the tree looks healthier already and they cleaned up every bit of debris.”
Tree Trimming & Pruning
“Our front hedge was completely out of control, blocking the view of the house from the street. These guys shaped it up beautifully in just a couple hours. The crew was efficient and left the property spotless, no stray clippings anywhere.”
Hedge Trimming & Shrub Care
“We needed to clear out a messy area on our rural property before winter. They brought in equipment and cleared fallen branches, dead wood, and overgrown brush from about a quarter acre. The work was done in a day and the property looks completely different now.”
Land Clearing
“Wasn't sure if we should remove a large tree near the house or if it could be saved. The arborist they sent out was super knowledgeable and gave us honest advice about the tree's health. Ended up getting it trimmed instead of removed, which saved us money and the tree's still standing.”
Arborist Consultation
“After we had a tree removed, we were stuck with this massive stump taking up half the backyard. Rochester Tree Service ground it down completely, the whole thing was gone in about an hour. We can finally use that space for something else.”
Stump Grinding
“Had a big maple that was getting too dense and blocking light to our deck. They came out and did a major pruning job, thinned out maybe 30% of the canopy. The tree still looks natural, not butchered, and now we actually get sun in the afternoon.”
Tree Trimming & Pruning
“Wanted to make sure the young trees we planted were healthy and getting the right care. They sent an arborist who checked everything out and gave us specific watering and pruning tips for each one. Really appreciate the expert guidance.”
Arborist Consultation
“Our big spruce was overgrown and looked scraggly. The crew trimmed it back carefully and shaped it up real nice, took them about three hours with two guys working. Now it's the focal point of the yard again instead of an eyesore.”

Rochester Tree Service is your trusted local partner for professional tree care throughout Rochester, Minnesota and the surrounding communities.

For more than a decade, Rochester Tree Service has built its reputation by showing up on time, doing the work right, and leaving your property cleaner than we found it. We're fully insured on every project, and we stand behind our workmanship. When you need professional tree care in Rochester or the surrounding areas, call us today for a free estimate.
Tree removal is the service that separates a good tree company from a great one, and it's where Rochester Tree Service excels. Whether you're dealing with a massive silver maple threatening your roof, a dead oak that's become a liability, or an invasive boxelder crowding your property line, our experienced arborists and experienced crews have the equipment, training, and judgment to remove trees safely and efficiently. We handle everything from routine removals to the most complex jobs, including trees growing inches from your house, garage, or deck. We understand that large tree removal in Rochester requires precision, especially in neighborhoods where mature oaks, basswoods, and honeylocusts tower over 1920s brick colonials and century-old Tudors with tight yards and power lines overhead.
Storm damage doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Rochester's long, cold winters bring heavy wet snow, ice storms, and sudden thaws that crack limbs and topple weakened trees. Summer thunderstorms and straight-line winds snap tops, tear branches, and drop entire trees across driveways, vehicles, and roofs. When a fallen tree damages your home, blocks your driveway, or threatens your safety, call (507) 577-5628 immediately. We offer 24/7 emergency tree service to get you back to normal fast.
Hazardous hanging limbs, storm-damaged tops threatening power lines, and trees leaning toward your structure are serious safety concerns that demand immediate professional attention. Attempting to remove or trim these trees yourself puts you and your family at risk. Our team brings cranes, bucket trucks, rigging equipment, and decades of combined experience to handle the toughest situations. Request your free estimate today, or call us now if you're facing an emergency.
The cost of tree removal in Rochester depends on many factors unique to your property and situation. Tree size, species, condition, proximity to structures or power lines, access for equipment, and the complexity of the removal all influence the final price. A small ash tree in an open yard costs far less than a 60-foot oak wedged between your house and a neighbor's fence, or a dead spruce that requires crane work to avoid damage. We provide honest, transparent pricing based on a thorough site assessment. Visit our pricing page to see typical ranges for common services, or contact us for a detailed quote tailored to your needs.
Beyond tree removal, Rochester Tree Service handles the full spectrum of residential tree care. Stump grinding eliminates the eyesore and tripping hazard left behind after removal, while professional tree trimming and pruning keeps your maples, oaks, and evergreens healthy, attractive, and safe. We also offer hedge trimming and shrub care, land clearing for property development or restoration, and arborist consultation to help you make informed decisions about your trees. Whatever your tree care needs, we have the expertise and equipment to deliver results.
Tree removal permits are required in many Rochester-area cities and townships, particularly for trees above a certain diameter or those designated as heritage or protected species. Oak wilt ordinances, protected tree lists, and HOA approval requirements may apply to visible removals in your neighborhood. Rather than navigate the permitting process alone, let Rochester Tree Service guide you. Our team understands local regulations and can advise you on what permits may be needed before work begins, saving you time and potential headaches. Contact us for a free estimate and permitting guidance specific to your property.
