Trees and pests
State-level lists as of 2026, not a survey of Lincoln; check your state's official pest map. Ask a certified arborist or your county extension office what is active near you. More in tree care in Nebraska.
Storm season
Severe thunderstorms with hail, strong winds and tornadoes are most common from spring into summer. Ice storms and blizzards can break limbs in winter.
After a storm: stay clear of leaning or split trees, call the utility for downed lines and 911 if anyone is in danger. Read what to do after a storm or see live storm warnings.
Permits
We could not confirm a city tree permit rule for Lincoln. Call the city planning or forestry office before removing a large tree, and check your HOA rules.
Short explanation, not legal advice. See tree permits by city and what to ask about permits.

Severe thunderstorms with hail, strong winds and tornadoes are most common from spring into summer. Ice storms and blizzards can break limbs in winter. Have large trees near the house checked before the season starts.
Prune most shade trees in late winter while they are dormant. Avoid pruning elms in the growing season, and ask an arborist about the best timing for oaks and evergreens. Ask a certified arborist about your tree.
It depends on the tree size, how close it is to the house or lines, access for equipment, cleanup and stump work. We do not publish prices for tree work. Get two or three written quotes so you can compare.
We only name a company when its owner claims a free profile and agrees to show it. We do not rank companies, there is no pay-to-rank, and claimed profiles are shown in alphabetical order. To see every local company, search Google Maps and read their reviews.
Claim your free profile on our claim page. We confirm you run the business by phone or email before anything goes live, and you can ask us to change or remove it at any time.
