Tree service in Canton, the Lincoln County seat
Canton has confirmed emerald ash borer, and the July 2026 windstorm brought down numerous trees and knocked out power across town.
Canton is the Lincoln County seat, a town of about 3,000 southeast of Sioux Falls. The state listed it among the South Dakota communities with confirmed emerald ash borer in June 2025, and all of Lincoln County is inside the EAB quarantine. On July 25, 2026, the National Weather Service reported numerous trees down and power outages in Canton from the windstorm that hit the southern metro.
Canton's older streets have the mature shade trees of a county-seat town, and many of them are ash. Our work here is storm cleanup and removals, ash treat-or-remove assessments, ash removals scheduled between Labor Day and Memorial Day, trimming and deadwood on older trees, stump grinding and replanting. Canton has its own city ordinances, so we confirm any city requirements for street trees before we work in the right-of-way.
