Sand Coulee, MT: Tree Work on Old Mine Ground

Sand Coulee is a hamlet of about 180 people in Cascade County, Montana, 12.7 road miles and about 26 minutes southeast of Great Falls. It began as Giffen in 1881, named for Nat McGiffen. The Sand Coulee Coal Company opened in 1883, James J. Hill later renamed it the Cottonwood Coal Company, and the camp faded once the railroads went to diesel in the 1930s.

Kids still attend Centerville Public Schools, where the teams are the Miners. Cottonwood and willow line the creek, Siberian elm, boxelder and chokecherry fill the yards, and old shelterbelts stand on the ranch places above the rim. The sandy ground grinds fast.

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 Sand Coulee

What Sand Coulee Can Expect

Twenty-Six Minutes Down the Coulee

Sand Coulee sits on our run through the old camps, so estimates here ride with Tracy, Centerville and Stockett work. No trip charge inside Cascade County.

Old Camp Ground Under the Stump

A century-old camp lot can hide brick, pipe and slag. Ramon probes around a stump and prices what is really there before the grinder leaves the trailer.

Boxelders and Elms Over the Roof

Fast-grown boxelders and Siberian elms here are splitting at the crotch. We take the hazard wood over the house first and reduce the rest without topping.

No Town Office, County Rules

Sand Coulee is unincorporated: your tree, your call, and no boulevard application. A brush pile needs a Cascade County burn permit first, or we chip and haul it away.

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