"We requested a quote for a tree removal. He came the next day and gave us a very reasonable quote. We scheduled the service for the next day. He was on time and did an excellent job. I would highly recommend. We are also setting up lawn mowing service with him this summer."

"Twin City Tree Authority removed an overdue, diseased Ash tree. I had been hesitant and dragging my feet to get the tree looked at, due to my lack of knowledge with trees. I was so impressed (and relieved!) with their honesty and level of arborist knowledge. I was given option of what work needed to be done, along with detailed costs for each item. They used a lift to access my backyard, through a fence and gate. They were very cautious and careful not to damage my yard, which was very important to me. I will be using Twin City Tree Authority from now on. I highly recommend this crew!"

"I needed a mid-sized tree removed from my property and solicited five bids. I was astounded at the range of pricing received. Understandably, every company has their own unique business model. A few of the companies that bid my job were the stereotypical higher end companies who dispatched an Arborist in a company vehicle, wearing a uniform, carrying a clipboard. While I’m sure these companies do stellar work, it wasn’t in my budget to work with that kind of company on this project. I can tell you that I’m not someone who typically chooses the lowest price contractor, but this time I did, and that price was from Twins G. I sense that Twins G is a lower overhead type business, as it relates to labor, equipment, facilities, etc. They also accept only cash or checks….no credit cards. Also, I don’t know that Twins G has or uses a crane for large removal projects. They climb. As other online reviews for the company were positive, I felt comfortable giving them a try. Bottom line, Twins G did a great job for me on my tree removal project. The entire tree was removed by a single climbing cutter, using skilled rigging and roping of branches and trunk sections. The project was completed in just over an hour’s time. The overall removal went smoothly and the ground crew did a good job as well. They also cleaned up the area after their work. All in all, they did the work they promised to do for me, and did so at a competitive price. Everyone along the way was courteous and pleasant. I can’t speak to how Twins G would handle the removal of a huge 60 year old super-sized tree, but I’d definitely feel comfortable recommending them for mid-sized tree removals or general tree trimming projects. I’ll be using them again. A job well done!"

"It went well. Workers were respectful and easy to work with. The trees look great. It was enjoyable working with them. I took three bids and their bid was the lowest. But, I didn't select them just based on cost. I chose them because they had a certified arborist and their knowledge of trees, advising me on what was best for the trees' long-term survival. I recently bought the property and the trees had not been well-maintained. Quality work, quality people, and reasonable price."

"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."

"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!"

"Nathan Hoaglund and his dedicated crew from Northern Sky Arboriculture Inc did an outstanding job in removing a clump of trees that fell during a recent storm. They were prompt, worked diligently and cleaned up the yard/street after the job was done. Nathan is very knowledgeable about Minnesota native species and offered helpful suggestions for replacement trees and plants. My neighbor recommended Nathan's services and I also highly recommend Northern Sky Arboriculture Inc."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If your palm tree has spots on the leaves, rotting buds, or is beginning to turn yellow, then you have a sick tree on your hands. You should contact a palm tree specialist to identify the problem and help treat the tree if possible. Preventing diseases and pests is key to a healthy palm tree, and it's essential to take action as soon as possible if your tree is showing signs of being sick.

Costs range from $500 to $5,000 per tree, depending on size, location, and accessibility.

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.

Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. 

If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you’ll have to dig quite deep—and perhaps wide—to trim away all the roots.

According to scientists at Penn State University, spotted lanternflies do not typically kill the trees and plants they feed on, but they can cause branches and segments to die off. However, they have been found to kill cultivated grapes, which can have devastating consequences for vineyard owners and regions that heavily rely on vineyards to create jobs and generate revenue. They have also killed the Ailanthu altissima, known as the tree of heaven, though this is classified as a noxious and invasive weed tree.
