Austin's tree-lined streets near the Cedar River are lined with mature maples, ash, and cottonwoods that shade the 1920s and 1950s homes throughout ZIP 55912. These are beautiful, established trees, but they demand regular care and sometimes urgent removal after storms tear through our Upper Midwest springs and winters.
When a limb threatens your roof, a storm drops a tree on your driveway, or you need smart trimming to keep your property safe and healthy, Rochester Tree Service is the crew Austin homeowners call. We know these neighborhoods, these trees, and the challenges that come with them.
Tree Service in Austin (55912)
Austin sits in the Zumbro River valley, and that means your property likely features the classic mix of our region: big silver and sugar maples along the boulevards, American ash and cottonwoods near the water, and Norway maples shading older brick homes. Many of these trees are 50, 75, or even 100 years old. They're gorgeous, but they're also mature, and mature trees need attention. Storm limbs, hazard removals, and preventive pruning are what we do most often here, especially after the heavy wet snows and straight-line winds that roll through in spring and early summer.
We've worked on properties all across Austin and the surrounding Rochester area. We understand the tight lot access on some of our older neighborhoods, the power line proximity on tree-lined streets, the steep slopes near the river, and the HOA rules that apply to visible removals. We show up ready to work safely and leave your property clean.

How a Job Works in Austin
We start with a free on-site assessment. You call us at (507) 577-5628 or describe the job, and we come out to look at the tree, the surrounding structures, access routes, and what needs to happen. If there's a storm limb hanging over your roof or a dead ash that needs to come down, we'll give you a clear estimate and timeline. No surprises.
When we do the work, we bring the right equipment for your lot. That might mean a bucket truck if we're working near power lines, careful rigging if the tree is close to your house, or a crane if access is tight and the tree is large. We assess each job individually because Austin's properties vary so much, from the steep shaded streets southwest of downtown to the flatter subdivisions spreading toward Byron. We work efficiently and keep our crew focused on safety and precision.
After the work is done, we haul away the debris, grind stumps if you want them gone, and leave your yard clean and ready. You'll see the difference the moment we finish.
Tree removal in Austin typically runs from a few hundred dollars for a smaller tree to several thousand for a large mature maple or ash, depending on size, species, location, and access. Storm limb removal and hazard pruning often cost less because we're not removing the whole tree. Stump grinding starts at $150 for smaller stumps and scales up with diameter. Tree trimming and pruning runs from $250 on up, depending on the scope. Hedge and shrub work starts at $45. Every job is different, and the best way to know what your specific work will cost is to call us for a free estimate at (507) 577-5628. We'll walk through the site with you, explain what needs to happen, and give you a fair, honest price.
