Olson Tree Service: Safe & Professional Tree Removal in SE Minnesota

When a tree becomes a liability—whether it’s leaning dangerously toward your home or has succumbed to disease—you need a team that prioritizes safety and precision. At Olson Tree Service, we specialize in the expert removal of trees across the Rochester area and throughout the heart of Southeast Minnesota.


From the tight residential lots of Rochester to the sprawling properties in Austin and Chatfield, we have the equipment and the local experience to handle the toughest removals. We don’t just cut down trees; we provide peace of mind.

Our Tree Removal Solutions

We understand that every property is unique. We tailor our approach to ensure your landscape remains protected while the hazard is removed.

Hazardous & Emergency Tree Removal

Minnesota storms can be unpredictable. If a tree has been damaged by high winds, ice, or lightning, we offer rapid response to secure your property.


  • Complex Rigging: Using advanced roping and pulleys to lower limbs safely over rooftops, fences, and power lines.
  • Storm Cleanup: Removing fallen trunks and debris to get your life back to normal after a weather event.

Large & Technical Takedowns

Some trees are too big or too close to structures for a standard drop.


  • Precision Climbing: Our expert climbers can dismantle a tree piece-by-piece in confined spaces.
  • Modern Equipment: We utilize specialized machinery to handle massive trunks and heavy limbs efficiently.

Disease & Infestation Management

With the ongoing threat of Emerald Ash Borer and Oak Wilt in SE Minnesota, removing infected trees is critical to saving the rest of your canopy. We help you identify and remove "high-risk" trees before they become brittle and dangerous.

 Full Site Cleanup & Hauling

We believe a job isn't done until the yard is clean.


  • Brush Chipping: Converting small limbs into mulch on-site.
  • Log Hauling: We remove the heavy wood, or we can cut it into fireplace-length rounds for you to keep.

The Olson Tree Service Difference

Unmatched Service Area: We aren't just in Rochester. We are proud to be the "go-to" tree crew for:


  • Austin & Rose Creek
  • Dodge Center & Zumbro Falls
  • St. Charles & Chatfield
  • Wykoff, Spring Valley, & LeRoy
  • ...and every farm and small town in between!


  • Safety First: We adhere to strict industry safety standards (ANSI Z133) to protect our crew, your home, and your neighbors.
  • Fully Licensed & Insured: Tree removal is high-risk work. Never hire a "guy with a chainsaw" who doesn't carry comprehensive liability and workers' comp insurance.
  • Respect for Your Lawn: We use ground protection mats and specialized gear to ensure we don't leave deep ruts or damage your turf.

When Should You Call for Removal?

Don't wait for the tree to fall on its own. Watch for these warning signs:

Deep Cracks

Vertical cracks in the trunk or "included bark" in the crotch of the tree.

Fungal Growth

Mushrooms or conks growing at the base (a sign of internal root rot).

Deadwood

Large limbs with no leaves or peeling bark in the upper canopy.

Heaving Soil

If the ground is lifting at the base of the tree, it may be uprooting.
