"Stop your search here. Tree Fellers did amazing work for us. Robert and Laurie-Ann came to our home within a day of our request for quote. Unlike others, they provided an itemized quote with photos. We chose them because they were so organized, honest, responsive and kind. For real, super nice people. Then, the work started. Whoa, did they hustle! The crew was super professional and didn’t mind as we watched them climb trees, trim tops, take down gigantic (rotting/dead) trees. We were amazed at the care they took to protect our home and property. They chipped everything right here on site and we have massive piles of chips to use for mulching this spring. We have many trees and will surely need more work done. We won’t need to search for who to use. It will be Tree Fellers"

"They did a very thorough and complete job. During the recent storm trees fell in my yard and on my house. They gave me a quick estimate, it was accepted by my insurance company, and they completed the job a few days later. We recently had massive tree damage due to the storm in the area . They had all the necessary equipment to do the job and were very professional. the yard was cleaned up and you would never have known we had tree damage."

"Couldn?t speak higher about the work done! They showed up exactly when they said they would. They removed 5 trees from my property, one of which was massive and very close to my house. There was a small gap in between my fence line they needed to fell the tree and they nailed it like it was nothing. I appreciated that they cleaned up all the fallen tree sights after and they cut up and stacked all the wood on my property since I?m planning on using it for the winter. 5 trees, 2 of which were tricky to drop, and they had it all done in about 3 hours?? VERY impressive! If I ever need more tree work done, this is the only company I?m calling"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.

Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.

Sudden oak death and oak wilt are different diseases. Oak wilt first shows up in tree leaves while sudden oak death affects the branches and trunk. However, as symptoms in both can overlap, it’s best to consult a professional arborist tree expert for a proper diagnosis and development of a treatment plan.

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!

Many species, especially when well-established, are not fans of transplantation. You’ll need to decide if you want to risk splashing the cash, understanding that transplantation isn’t always successful. Again, this is where hiring a pro is helpful, as they can give you all the essential info you need to ensure your tree stands a fighting chance.
