Customers say: Super punctual

"Steve provides excellent communications with his customers. He was in constant touch with scheduling updates due to inclement winter weather. Finished the job up in two days between storms. Jay and the crew did an excellent job getting the trees down safely. They stacked up the firewood to be saved, ground up the branches and cleaned up all debris. They cleaned all the leaves and moss off the roof, topped off a tall Juniper and trimmed back overgrown shrubs and vines. Overall great job."

"Excellent! They arrived on time, worked steadily, cleaned up thoroughly, accomplishing everything that was asked of them. For instance, one tree that had to be taken down was a dying 80+ foot spruce located within six feet of a spindly oak sapling. I asked them to be careful of the sapling as I wanted it to fill in the canopy left by the spruce. After the tree came down and was carted away, I looked closely at the oak for possible damage which I felt sure there would be. To my surprise, the oak was untouched, not a scratch or broken branch. This is a company of surgeons! I have more work to be done, so I'll be sure to ask them back. They're great!"

"They were excellent! I loved the fact that the owner, Derrick, came out to give us a quote soon after I called him. Also, he wrote a detailed quote right on the spot. They were very professional and polite. We added additional work as they were doing our yard and they were so accommodating to take care of our needs. Took 3 trees down, bushes out and weed eated a bank that was so nasty! I have more work for them at another location. I recommend them To my granddaughter so that should tell you a lot! Very wonderful experience! They were very reasonably priced too! Thanks Derrick and crew for doing an amazing job!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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!

In nature, there are many things that can cause a tree to die, including diseases, insects, and natural disasters such as fires or droughts. Non-natural methods of killing a tree include herbicides or manual intervention, such as cutting it down. Consult a tree removal professional about your options for naturally killing a tree.

Steer clear of the area and contact your utility company immediately. It will have a website portal and/or a phone number to report downed trees and electrical issues. If the tree appears to be on public land, you may want to call your local government and report the issue there, too.

If the roots are still alive, the dead tree will usually try to put out new shoots. That doesn’t mean the tree will survive or that the dead parts of a tree will come back to life. If parts of the tree have died and turned gray or rotten, nothing will bring them back to life and they need to be safely removed.

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.
