Tree Removal Under the Mountains in Highwood, MT

Highwood is a community of about 165 people in southwestern Chouteau County, Montana, 32.5 road miles and about 53 minutes east of Great Falls, on Highwood Creek and Big Sag Creek just northwest of the Highwood Mountains. The post office opened in 1881 and has run continuously since 1886, and Highwood Public Schools still teaches kindergarten through twelfth grade.

The mountains make their own weather. Wet snow comes earlier and heavier than in Great Falls and lands on leafed-out cottonwood, aspen, chokecherry and willow along the creek. The yards hold green ash, Siberian elm and blue spruce, and ponderosa pine climbs the slopes above.

What We Do in Highwood

Removal, stump grinding, trimming and clearing for the town under the mountains and the ranches along the creek.

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 →

A stump grinder wheel cutting into a stump in a lawn, wood chips flying

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 Highwood

What Highwood Can Expect

Fifty-Three Minutes by County Road

The slowest drive on our list for its miles, still with no trip charge. Highwood estimates ride with Belt and Carter work, so you are not waiting on a special trip.

Mountain Snow on Creek Trees

Creekside aspen, cottonwood and chokecherry break under wet snow before the leaves drop. We take down hangers and split leaders and reduce the rest without topping.

Pine and Spruce Close to the House

Ponderosa and blue spruce planted tight to Highwood houses have outgrown the spot. We section them down, protect the roof and the walk, and rake before we go.

Chouteau County Ground

Highwood is unincorporated, so your own tree is your call. Chouteau County and the rural fire district handle burn permits; we name the office, or we chip and haul.

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