Urban Tree crew removing a large hardwood on a sloped Twin Cities property, 2026. Silent by design; the on-screen text is the narration.
0:01 The assessment. A large hardwood on a slope, a fence line below it, and no clean drop zone
0:08 The setup. Branded trucks, rigging, and a crew that has done this before
0:16 The cutting. Deliberate, sectioned, and slower than you would expect
0:25 The property. Where the crew puts its feet is most of the difference in your bill
0:35 The clearing. Brush chipped and hauled as the job goes, not piled for later
0:44 The finish. The reason the neighbours ask who we are
The Job in the Video
A tree on a flat, open lawn is a straightforward job. This one was not on a flat, open lawn. It was on a slope, above a fence line, with a mown yard on all sides that the homeowner expected to still have when we left. That combination is what decides whether a removal takes half a day or two days, and it is the single biggest driver of what a removal costs.
Four things you can see in the footage that are not obvious unless you know to look for them:
Every limb that comes off has somewhere to go that is not the fence and not the lawn.
Slower, more rope work, and the only way to control where the weight goes on a slope.
A brush pile left for the end is a brush pile that flattens the grass under it.
Watch where the crew is relative to what is moving. That is training, and it is the reason our insurance stays affordable and your property stays intact.
The Part That Doesn’t Film Well
The footage makes this look routine, and that is the honest result of doing it right. The decisions that made it routine were made before anyone started a saw: which way the tree wants to fall, what is under it, what the wood is actually like inside, and whether it needs to come down at all.
That last one costs us jobs, and we ask it anyway.

“They stick to their estimates and there are no surprises… They’ve taken down some huge trees for me in tight spots without any damage.”

“He saved me a bundle by suggesting ways to save a tree rather than take it down. He had a true appreciation for the trees, especially my ancient hackberry.”

The full picture: what drives the price, what is included, and how we decide whether a tree has to come down.
When a tree is too big or too far back to bring down by hand, a crane is usually the cheaper way, not the expensive one.
Seven more jobs, sorted by the kind of work: crane, removal, stump grinding, seasonal care.
