"German Ronquillo & his team did an excellent job of removing a large diseased tree that was threatening to fall on my screen porch. This tree with four large offshoots had to be topped & German had to physically climb each one (about 60" -70"up) in order to top them so they did not fall on my house. They were very safe and caused no damage to yard or drive. If I have any need for future tree service they are my go to guys!. Strongly recommend!"

"Wonderful!! They contacted me the same day I posted on Angi and took down the trees a few days later. They came back within a week to trim a couple bushes and lay all of the mulch! We also hired them to cut our grass for the season. They were prompt, reasonably priced, friendly and did a great job! I would definitely recommend them!"

"I looked for some tree service to be done in and around my house and was quoted several prices. Mabes Tree Service was by far the cheapest so the work was in order. Dustin Mabe ( owner) was very personable as was his entire crew. They did excellent work, cleaned up the area nicely. After the fact i decided to bring them back to take out 7 stumps which they promptly and efficiently did. I highly recommend Mabes Tree Service for tree removal and stump grinding. Give them a call throw them your business. You'll be glad you did."

"I hired Richard to remove a pear tree from my yard. He and his crew arrived at the time promised. They did a great job cutting the tree down, removing the cuttings, cleaning the yard. and removing the stump. His team was hard working, professional and very courteous. The price for job was very reasonable and I will use him in the future for all my tree work. Pete H Lexington"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

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!

Transporting a fully-grown tree requires heavy equipment, typically specialized for the task. A tree spade is a truck-mounted tool that removes the tree from the ground in one location, transports it, and places it in a new hole in a new location. A combination of mechanized shovels and lifts is necessary to move very large trees, and the exact tools often depend on location and the surrounding area.

The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you’re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you’re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear). 

Cutting down a dead tree is always strongly advisable. Aside from being an eyesore, a dead tree can be extremely hazardous, especially when it’s near people or structures. Even if the tree isn’t near your home, it can still harbor pests and diseases that can potentially spread to nearby plants and homes.
