"I hired Dylan to take down 3 large pine trees and grind the stumps. He and his crew did an excellent job. The work was skillfully done with only minor damage to our yard and his price was reasonableâ better than the other bids I got. Highly recommend."

"They were amazing!!! Great price, professional, informative, and even helped me clear out another pile of branches that was separate from the job I hired them for. They were the only ones who kept in contact over all of the tree companies and were willing to do the tough tree removals another company said they wouldnâ t do."

"Eric was professional, courteous, punctual and extremely knowledgeable/passionate about his work. Iâ m so happy I found him and didnâ t hire anyone else. The tree I had cut actually belongs to my neighbor but had become a problem since Iâ ve moved in. The tree is gigantic and hangs over my deck and yard, allowing birds to poo on everything. After speaking with my neighbor and getting the green light to cut anything off that I wanted to, Eric gave an amazing quote, we set a date and he even called to say he could come a few days early! He did such a great job cleaning up the tree, cleaning up everything he cut down and he was awesome with my nosey dogs! Thanks again!! I will definitely be using Young Tree Experts again!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.

The cost of trees varies massively based on the size of the tree and the species. A small Colorado spruce can cost as little as $30, but a golden rain tree of the same size can cost $90. Large trees can cost $1,500 or more, depending on their species and height.

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

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!
