Healthy trees add value to your property and the environment. Trees give us shade, clean air and wildlife habitat for years. Here's how to care for them.
spring tree care
Spring is one of the busiest season for arborists. The Winters in Minnesota can be long and often Spring feels shorter because of the amount of rain and cooler temperatures. Spring is also a great time to prepare your trees and landscaping for the long, hot summer months. Some of things you should start doing to prepare your trees for the summer:
1. Inspect trees and shrubs
2. Prune dead branches
3. Plant new trees
4. Fertilize existing trees

Tree trimming
Tree trimming or pruning is necessary for proper tree care. When done correctly, it removes weak and poorly attached branches and promotes proper tree structure. Each year you can feel confident that your tree is healthy, safe, and beautiful. Pruning is also essential for reducing the risk of limbs or even the entire tree coming down, causing accidents that could thousands of dollars later down the road.

tree removal
While our goal is to care for trees to help them stay healthy for decades, sometimes removal is the best option. If trees are diseased beyond treatment, decayed, or have grown too close to a structure, we can safely remove them.
We take the utmost care when working on your lawn, near your house and around other trees and plants on your property.

emerald ash borer (eab) treatment
Emerald ash borer (EAB) is a major threat to ash trees in the Twin Cities metro area. It has already killed millions of trees in its path, and is on track to kill 100% of untreated ash trees here in a matter of years. But preventative treatment is incredibly effective if started before trees show signs of EAB.

winter tree care
While spring and summer might be the time of year you enjoy your trees the most, winter can be the best time of year to have tree work done. In fact, there are several species of trees that are only safe to trim in the winter months, including oaks, elms, crab apples, and many species of shrubs.
Winter is the best time of year to remove invasive buckthorn from your property as well.

Summer tree care
Summer is when insects and plant diseases become active so its a great time to inspect your plants and assess the risk of EAB (Emerald Ash Borer) in your area. Certain species of trees benefit from tree trimming or pruning in the summer. Reviewing your plant healthcare strategies is always a good idea once Summer is in full swing.
