"The sales/estimate was great, the arborist was knowledgable and the estimate accurately included details of the job. The actual service was also great, the lead on the job met with me and reviewed the plan to ensure the pruning would be what was bit and expected. The crew was professional and cleanup was excellent. The price (with the Angies List discount) was on par with similar bids from companies with the same experience and arborists on staff. The only difficultly was with the scheduling post estimate. The estimate was given in January, but company could not commit to when the job would be scheduled (likely because of the their backlog). This is understandable, but we would have preferred to have been given a solid date at the end of their backlog; rather we were told we'll call a week before we can get you in. Given pruning oaks is a time sensitive service, this almost made us go with another company that could commit to a solid date."

"This was a difficult job as the stump was on a steep hillside; however, the arborist persevered with the task and ultimately did a very good job of eradicating the entire stump so that I'll be able to replant the area in the spring. Arbor Barber's prices are very reasonable and they do very good work. I would definitely use them, again, and recommend them to my friends and neighbors.

"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!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Tree maintenance in St Paul involves seasonal tasks—winter is ideal for pruning and inspecting for storm damage, while spring requires fertilization and monitoring for pests like emerald ash borer. Summer means deep watering during dry spells and checking for storm-related injuries. Fall is best for mulching and preparing trees for cold weather. Annual professional inspections help catch disease early and keep trees healthy year-round.

Helpful?

When hiring tree service professionals in St Paul, look for local experience with regional pests, diseases, and soil types. Ensure they carry proper insurance and certifications, and ask about their familiarity with city permit requirements for tree removal. Request detailed written estimates, check references, and confirm they use equipment suited for St Paul’s tight urban lots. Avoid contractors who rush decisions or lack clear documentation.

Helpful?

In St Paul, homeowners often prune oaks or elms during the wrong season, increasing the risk of oak wilt or Dutch elm disease. Planting trees like Norway maple, which struggle in local soils, is another frequent error. Failing to obtain permits for large tree removals or ignoring city rules for boulevard trees can result in fines, while attempting hazardous removals without proper equipment poses serious safety risks.

Helpful?

In St Paul, harsh winters make dormant pruning safer and help prevent disease spread, while late spring frosts can damage young trees and delay planting. Summer brings severe storms that often require emergency tree removal and storm cleanup. Heavy clay soils common in the area can affect tree health, so local experts adjust maintenance schedules and select species like sugar maple or bur oak that thrive in St Paul’s unique climate.

Helpful?

In St Paul, combining tree service with landscaping, irrigation, or driveway projects can streamline your schedule and minimize yard disruption. It’s wise to schedule tree removal before installing new sod or hardscaping, and to coordinate with neighbors for possible group discounts. However, avoid overlapping projects during peak growing season or after heavy rain, as equipment can damage saturated soil and established tree roots.
