Fort Shaw, MT: Sun River Valley Tree Work

Fort Shaw is a community of about 260 people in Cascade County, Montana, 28.1 road miles and about 34 minutes west of Great Falls on MT-200. The fort went up in 1867 on the Mullan Road, named for Colonel Robert G. Shaw, and became an Indian boarding school after 1891; its girls' team played at the 1904 World's Fair and came home world champions.

The historic district is on the National Register, and the old fort buildings are a museum. The valley is irrigated hay and grain, so the trees follow the water: cottonwood and willow on the river and ditches, old blue spruce and Siberian elm around farm places, caragana at the field edges.

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 →

What Fort Shaw Can Expect

Thirty-Four Minutes West on MT-200

Fort Shaw is the middle of our valley run, grouped with Sun River and Simms so estimate dates come quickly. No trip charge inside Cascade County.

Big Spruce and Elms Around Old Farm Places

Spruce and Siberian elms around the older places have outgrown their yards and hang over roofs and service drops. Hazard wood over the house comes first.

Ditch Banks and Canal Cottonwoods

Ditch-bank cottonwoods and willows root shallow and lean toward the water. We work from the dry side, keep machines off the canal bank and leave the ditch running.

Unincorporated, County Burn Permits

Fort Shaw has no town office, so your own tree is your decision. A permit from the Cascade County Clerk and Recorder comes before any brush pile; most people let us chip and haul.

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