"AAA Tree Pros did an excellent job removing 2 diseased ash trees from our property. They offered a fair price, scheduled the work very quickly, and handled everything safely and professionally. The crew removed the trees, hauled away all the wood, and ground the stumps thoroughly. The cleanup was great as well. Very happy with the service and would definitely recommend them."

"​I recently hired this team for a tree removal project, and I couldn't be more impressed with the results. From the initial estimate to the final cleanup, the entire process was seamless. ​The pricing was incredibly reasonable—especially compared to other quotes I received—but the quality of work was top-tier. They arrived on time, handled the removal with impressive precision, and ensured the surrounding landscape remained untouched. ​What really stood out was their attention to detail during the cleanup. Once they were finished, you would hardly know a crew had been there, aside from the missing tree. It’s rare to find a service that balances such high-quality craftsmanship with fair, transparent pricing. ​I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and professional tree care. I will definitely be using them again for any future needs!"

"Mikeâ s Dirtwork did an excellent job removing two trees in my backyard,, and trimming another tree. One tree was a massive, tall, and wide silver maple with long roots getting close to my home foundation. To prevent damage to my home, I opted to remove the tree. His crew is the best! They work well together, and easily removed this massive tree. They cleaned up the area very well, Mike is very pleasant, and friendly, as are his crew. Mikeâ s price was reasonable, Mike tries very hard to please the customer. I highly recommend Mikeâ s Dirtwork! They are the BEST!"

"I wish you had a rating of 10 as this company was a Perfect 10. Robert (owner) first met with me to discuss the project. Robert was extremely helpful in answering EVERY question and concern that I had. I felt very comfortable that he understood what I expected and all was accomplished. Then there's his employees. Awesome job - very detailed and fun! I told them all I wanted to do was water the areas and watch the grass grow and that is what I am doing. 9 trees in 3 different areas were removed and several trees were cleaned up and look great. Thank you, 1st Choice Tree & Landscaping for helping me out!!!!"

"There were two options; trim trees and have the trimmings removed or have the trees trimmed and left for a much lower fee. We opted for the second option and have been cleaning up our yard for a month but we were also happy to keep the firewood. Our original quote was inaccurate as they found we needed more trimming than originally ally estimated. As a result we agreed to a higher cost as the work was being finished. They did an excellent job and it was amazing to watch as they trimmed trees away from our property buildings with extreme care and accuracy. They truly did a great job in caring for all of our property and in the end the extra cost was worth it. Highly recommended!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.

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!

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.
