"Dillon was great to work with. He was knowledgeable, personable, punctual, and took the time to explain the details of our project and what we should expect. Dillon and his partner replaced our side sewer quickly, were super friendly to work with, and were detailed with material clean-up and getting our yard back into shape, after it had been dug up for the repair. I fully recommend Dillon and his team."

"They were very professional and were the first to answer to evaluate the correct need with an on site visit. When the trees were cut down , they responded right away. They ground down 11 stumps and roots with great proficiency and care. They made it extremely easy for the contractor to replace a long 40 plus year old fence."

"I hired Full Circle Tree Care to trim and prune some trees in my property. Chase and his crew were very professional and polite. They arrived at the site on time and completed the job in a timely manner. The crew also cleaned up before they left. Overall I am very satisfied with the quality of their work and would consider them for any future work."

"A team came to the place and started the work, but instead of doing one area well, they started cutting in many places, leaving the work looking half done and quite a bit of debris left behind. Instead of explaining that the work needed more than the Angie's List offer, and doing only a portion well, they thrashed a large area and left it looking worse. More interested in getting out in the designated hours purchased than a quality result. I ended up contracting a different landscaper to fix the damage and complete the job."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

No. Topping a tree refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn’t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.

If it’s only a smaller branch that has died and you’re keeping an eye on the tree, it’s probably nothing to worry about. But if other nearby branches start dying off as well, or a very large branch dies, then you likely have a bigger problem. It’s time to watch for diseases and other problems and possibly get professional guidance on how to proceed.

Leaving the tree stump and letting it rot is never a good idea, as this leads to insect infestations and other frustrations. Additionally, decomposing trunks are at risk for diseases that spread out to the remaining plants and trees in the yard, thus ruining your whole outdoor aesthetic. It's usually best to remove the stump at the same time you remove the tree.

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!

On average, tree removal costs around $750, with a typical range between $200 and $2,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the tree's height, trunk diameter, species, and overall health. Accessibility is also a key factor; costs will be higher if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or located near structures like power lines or your home. Additional costs may apply for services such as stump removal (which can add $100 to $150), log-splitting, debris cleanup, and obtaining necessary permits. It is also customary to tip the professional, usually between $20 and $100.
