Kenyon is a charming community of about 1,800 residents in Goodhue County, approximately 20 miles northeast of Owatonna. The town sits along Highway 56 amid rolling hills and rich agricultural land. The tree canopy in Kenyon includes a mix of oak, maple, ash, elm, basswood, and various evergreen species. Each species has specific pruning requirements and disease vulnerabilities that our arborists understand and account for in their approach to every job.

Proper tree pruning improves health, strengthens structure, and reduces the risk of storm damage. Our crews use proper pruning techniques — including crown thinning, crown raising, deadwood removal, and structural pruning — that promote strong growth and reduce future maintenance needs. We never top trees, which is a harmful practice that weakens structure and invites disease.

Tree removal becomes necessary when a tree is dead, dying, structurally compromised, or poses a risk to people, buildings, or power lines. Our removal crews have the equipment and training to take down trees safely in tight spaces, including properties with homes, fences, and other structures in close proximity. We handle sectional dismantling, crane-assisted removal, and standard felling depending on the situation.

Stump grinding is the final step after tree removal and is important for both aesthetics and property usability. Our stump grinder pulverizes the stump to 6-8 inches below grade, and we backfill the hole with the resulting wood chips. This allows you to plant grass, install landscaping, or simply have a level, usable surface where the tree once stood.

The hilly terrain around Kenyon creates drainage patterns that affect how lawns retain moisture. Proper aeration, fertilization, and grading are important for keeping turf healthy in this part of Goodhue County.

In-town lots near Main Street and the larger rural properties throughout the Kenyon area all fall within our regular service coverage.

Storm damage response is another important service we provide to Kenyon residents. When severe weather brings down limbs or topples trees, our crews respond quickly to clear hazards, remove debris, and make your property safe. We coordinate with utility companies when downed trees involve power lines.

Emerald ash borer has significantly impacted ash tree populations across Goodhue County. If you have ash trees on your Kenyon property, we can assess their health and recommend either preventive treatment or removal depending on their condition.
