Is it worth it to rake leaves?

• <div><p>It may not be worth it to rake every leaf in your yard, but it’s necessary to remove the majority of leaves to prevent them from smothering grass growth on your lawn. However, raking leaves isn’t your only option for leaf removal. You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-you-rake-leaves-your-lawn-or-leave-them.htm">remove leaves</a> easily with a leaf blower or compost or mulch them with your lawn mower to repurpose them to help grow your garden or yard.</p></div>

When should I schedule an arborist to prune my tree?

• <div><p>Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/worst-time-prune-trees.htm">worst times to prune trees</a> are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.</p></div>

Does Dutch elm disease affect other trees?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-and-wood-identification-your-backyard.htm">identify wood</a> and determine which types of trees are in your yard. </p><p>Unfortunately, the complex and shallow root system of elm trees makes surrounding elm trees particularly vulnerable to DED. Early discovery is key!</p></div>

Is it bad to leave a dead tree stump in the ground?

• <div><p>It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.</p></div>

What method can I use instead of tree topping?

• <div><p>A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree. </p></div>

Preston is an absolute marvel with the tree spade. He moved our tree so smoothly with such efficiency the whole thing was done in less than hour. And I could barely believe how affordable it was. It was everything I'd hoped for. My highest recommendation.

Dan was nice and professional when he came to look at the Black Locust tree stump in my yard. He said when he would be able to grind it out and was on time and worked quickly and even cleaned up afterwards.

It took them a day and a half to complete the job. Their professionalism and clean up was great. In fact I think my neighbors even used them too. They were really good and I think they did more work than what they quoted so I was very happy.
