I was very impressed by the quality of their work, their professionalism, and the fact that they came to our home all the way from Wrenshall (an almost 2 hour drive) when we couldn't get anyone from Virginia (a 1/2 hour drive) to do the work.

I had a couple of questions after the job was done, and was able to get the answers I needed. I did a bit of research and comparison (not extensive, I'll admit) and think I got a very fair price on the job. I had been procrastinating on this issue for over a year, dreading the whole process, but this contractor made it as painless as it could possibly be.

He has insight that we depended on to give the best and lasting result. For example, turn the building (for future barn he was preparing pad for) this way to blend with the site better, back your boat in with more ease, cause less soil to have to be removed and hauled in (we're on a hill), to be seen less from Lake Superior and for a more aesthetic appearance. I think some of his reluctance to quote job costs is that as he gets into a job, unknowns dictate a change. In our case, we hit rock and water not very far down and after Joe's recommendation changed the orientation slightly and I got another retaining wall to fill with pretty plantings. Working with Joe and Barbara Mecklin is great. They also know everyone and are helpful with suggestions for other services and people that newcomers need to know about. Also, as we asked other people for recommendations for sources of rock, sand, excavating, landscaping etc., Joe's name kept coming up.

However, the last time I had to keep calling over the period of several months. Since I knew that stumps had to be removed I reminded individual that underground utility lines needed to be marked since telephone, television cable, and most importantly electrical are in the area. Finally, the workers showed up without informing me. They didn't complete job on that day but came back a few days later when I got a call from a family member indicating that the work was done and owner was looking for payment. I arrived home in a few minutes and saw that the stump removal was done, but trimming was still required elsewhere in the yard. That did get completed. I asked about the fact that I hadn't seen the lines marked as required by Minnesota Statute. The owner wasted 15 minutes telling me that he was TOO BUSY to do so. A call to Gopher State, One call usually takes about 5-10 minutes, and in this case, being a residential locate in one spot about 5 feet square, 5 minutes is probably the rule rather than the exception. Likewise, knowing that the electrical line is in the area, this became a matter of worker safety. Striking a telephone line or television cable is merely an inconvenience to users served by those lines. Striking an ELECTRICAL LINE has more severe consequences, those being injury or death to the equipment operator(s) and less importantly, loss of service. Ultimately, injury or death could lead to complicated litigation. The fact that WORKER SAFETY was jeopardized led me to decide that I will no longer use this service."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mn/bloomington/logs-and-limbs-tree-service-reviews-179613.htm"},"position":9}]}

FAQs for animal removal projects in Hoyt Lakes, MN
DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself.
Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away.
Pest control is not the same as animal removal. Pest control specialists treat for insects and bugs, often by using chemicals. Animal removal specialists try to avoid chemicals if possible and instead work to trap and move the animal that's causing problems.
Since each expert has their own removal methods, it's best to contact a pest control professional for insects and bugs and an animal control specialist for other animals.
Animal removal specialists specialize in removing critters and wildlife from in and around your home. These include:
Bats
Birds
Groundhogs
Moles and voles
Opossums
Mice and rats
Raccoons
Skunks
Squirrels
The specialist's method to remove these critters will depend on the animal. For example, groundhogs will be live-trapped and relocated, whereas, for birds, the expert will remove and discard the inactive nest and sanitize the area.
You might be tempted to call your local municipality to remove animals from your property, such as a groundhog burrowing in your yard or raccoons getting into your trash cans. However, they typically only remove domestic animals like dogs and cats from properties, or sick and injured wildlife that pose a public safety risk or health threat, such as a rabid animal. They typically do not capture or remove healthy wildlife.
Animal removal professionals have the tools, knowledge, and skills to trap and remove wild animals adequately and humanely. They also can relocate them correctly.
Professional animal removal costs between $200 and $600 for average homeowners. However, depending on the type and number of critters removed, this cost could range from $85 to $1,400.
This cost does not include the cost of home damage caused by the animal, which could be as low as $300 for minor drywall repair or as much as $15,000 for crawl space cleaning and restoration.
