We understand that storms can pop-up in Minnesota when you least expect them and cause unfortunate damage to your home, lawn, or outdoor space. Whether you are a homeowner or business owner, we are here when nature strikes.

If you need to have your trees trimmed or removed, it’s a good idea to hire a professional tree service. They know what they’re doing and can do it safely and efficiently. Not only will this save you time and hassle, but it can also help preserve the health of your trees.

Minnesota trees need to be trimmed when they exhibit the following signs: dead branches, branches that are rubbing together, or branches that are growing into power lines. The process of trimming a tree includes cutting away the unwanted growth, making sure not to damage the main trunk or branches. A tree can die after being trimmed if it is not done properly, if the wrong type of tree is trimmed, or if the tree is already unhealthy. Minnesota specific trees that should not be trimmed include maples, birches, and aspens. You can tell if your tree was improperly trimmed if the cuts are jagged or if there are large gashes in the bark.
