Tree Removal by the Ferry in Carter, MT

Carter is a hamlet of about 65 people in Chouteau County, Montana, 28.1 road miles and about 35 minutes northeast of Great Falls on US-87, about 14 miles short of Fort Benton. It was Sidney until 1905, when it was renamed for Thomas H. Carter, the state's first congressman, and the Carter Ferry still carries two cars at a time across the Missouri for free.

This is the dry side of our territory, about 3,100 feet up with under 14 inches of rain a year. Down in the Missouri breaks, cottonwoods and willows grow big and shallow-rooted; up on the wheat bench the trees are planted caragana, Russian olive and Siberian elm, with green ash and boxelder by the houses.

Stump Grinding

Stumps ground below grade so the lawn comes back. Old cottonwood and boxelder roots run wide here, so we check for sprinkler lines before we grind. See the full details, including typical pricing →

Why a Great Falls Crew Comes to Carter

What Carter Can Expect

Thirty-Five Minutes Up US-87

Carter is on our Fort Benton run, grouped with Fort Benton and Highwood estimates. Crossing into Chouteau County does not change the price.

Cottonwoods in the Breaks

Down toward the ferry, cottonwoods grow tall in river ground and lean over the water. We rig them down in sections and leave the chip truck up where it is firm.

Dry-Bench Shelterbelts

Bench windbreaks fight for every inch of water and die from the ends inward. Ramon clears the dead stretch with the skid steer and the live row keeps working.

Chouteau County Ground

Carter is unincorporated, so your own tree is your decision. Burn permits here come from Chouteau County and the rural fire district, not Cascade County; we point you to the office, or we chip and haul.

City boulevard, burning and town-office rules: see our permits page.
