"Jason and his team did a fabulous job. Their customer service was fantastic. They made surely I was completely satisfied with their work. They diligently worked during a dangerously hot week and never complained. I received estimates from 5 tree services. None of them compared to Jason's professionalism and customer service. I will use them again and I have already recommended them to others. Their work was truly First Class!"

"I was very impressed with YA Tree and Lawn Services. They clearly have a ton of tree removal experience. They took down one large (3' diameter) tree up against a fence and only 15 feet from my house without any trouble. And, another tree was leaning on a fence. It was about 18" in diameter. I wouldn't have thought it could be removed without causing some damage to the fence it was leaning on, but they did it. Their pricing was very reasonable and they were able to quickly schedule the work to be done. They were very easy to work with. I will definitely be using them for any additional tree work."

"They came out on a Tuesday morning and gave me a great estimate for the work. Had 4 other tree services make estimates. Salas was the best estimate and I checked their past ratings. Called them Wednesday morning and told them they had the job. They showed up that day about 1:00 P.M. and did the job. Yard looks great and they did great job!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

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!

If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You’ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree’s root ball needs to be around 11 inches. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.

Maple trees start the growing season by developing small groups of red flowers where the tree's fruit, the samaras, will appear in the coming weeks. Later in spring, the samaras, which many call whirlybirds or similar names, develop into single-winged seed carriers that spin when falling or drifting in the wind. 

In the case that a tree is growing directly on your property line, the cost of maintaining the tree is shared and is the property of both owners in common. In this case, all decisions regarding the maintenance of the tree must be made jointly, and both parties must agree on a course of action. You will need to agree with your neighbor about the cutting of any roots before you carry it out, and your neighbor must also consult with you before doing any trimming. Coming to an agreement with your neighbor about any shared trees ahead of necessary trimming and maintenance will make this process much simpler.
