Serving Centerville, Montana
Centerville is the smallest of the old coal camps, a few dozen people on Secondary 227 where Cottonwood Creek meets Sand Coulee Creek, and home to the school that serves every camp.
Local & Insured
Centerville is a hamlet of about 30 people in Cascade County, Montana, 13.8 road miles and about 27 minutes southeast of Great Falls on Secondary Highway 227, two miles south of Tracy and two and a half miles north of Stockett. Centerville Public Schools serves all the old camps from here, and the Miners play their home games in town.
Two creeks mean two bottoms of cottonwood, willow and boxelder in soft ground, with Siberian elm, chokecherry and big blue spruce around the older houses and the school. The bottoms stay soft for a week after a spring rain and freeze solid by December, so we time the heavy work.


Removal, stump grinding, trimming and clearing for the camp, the school and the creek bottoms around them.

Wind-thrown, snow-broken, dead or leaning trees taken down in sections and hauled off the same day, with boulevard and elm-wood rules sorted first. See the full details, including typical pricing →

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 →

Deadwood, hazard limbs and snow-load thinning on boxelders and Siberian elms, plus sidewalk and street clearance. We do not top trees. See the full details, including typical pricing →

Shelterbelt rows, benchland juniper, river-bottom brush and acreage lots cleared, with burn permits and chip-or-haul decided up front. See the full details, including typical pricing →
Why a Great Falls Crew Comes to Centerville
Centerville sits between Tracy and Stockett on one road, so all the camps go on one trip. A storm call here gets a same-day or next-day look.
Where the creeks meet, cottonwoods and boxelders root shallow and lean toward the water. We bring them down in sections and keep the equipment on the drive.
Big spruce and elms here crowd roofs and power drops. When a line is close we call the utility first, then let each limb down on a rope.
Centerville is unincorporated, so your own tree is your call and no boulevard application applies. A brush pile needs a Cascade County burn permit; most people have us chip and haul.
City boulevard, burning and town-office rules: see our permits page.
