"London and his work partner were phenomenal from start to finish! London runs a very professional business. He was quick to reach out to me and had great communication skills from the initial call, date of free estimate, date of project and updates in between. London is very kind and caring and he and his work partner were very hard workers on a very hot day. The ground under my back porch needed minor grading/resloping. They brought in fresh top soil, then placed landscape cloth on soil, and then spread pea gravel stone on top. Their workmanship was excellent! I can't say enough good things about London's Land Improvements. I would highly recommend them to anyone. I wish they could do every possible service needed because they were that professional and excellent at fulfilling the service I needed. Thanks London!! Keep up the great work!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

While trees can grow in the curb strip between the sidewalk and the street, this placement often poses the problem of interfering with overhead power lines. It’s best to consult your local utility provider and tree planting service before transplanting a tree that might grow into power lines. Also, you should never work within 20 feet of a live power line to avoid the risk of electric shock. Tree branches should never touch nearby power lines, so it’s essential to ensure your tree isn’t in danger of growing too close to them.

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.

It’s not as common for Dutch elm disease to affect other types of trees, especially if the surrounding trees aren’t elms. However, it is possible for DED to spread to other trees, particularly in northern states, like Minnesota. In fact, it’s a good idea to use geography to identify wood and determine which types of trees are in your yard. 

Unfortunately, the complex and shallow root system of elm trees makes surrounding elm trees particularly vulnerable to DED. Early discovery is key!

There are many signs that a tree is diseased or dying, and if you suspect that’s the case, you should call an arborist immediately. You might notice rot or fungus on the trunk or that the tree is beginning to lean to one side. Brittle branches or signs of root damage are other indicators that a tree is in trouble. If the tree is dying, it might be time to cut the tree down so it doesn’t fall.

Costs depend on tree height, trunk diameter, removal complexity, and required equipment.
