Certified Arborist Expertise for Tree and Plant Health
Our certified arborists don't just cut down trees; we are trained specialists in tree physiology, soil chemistry, and entomology.

We take the time to accurately diagnose the root cause before recommending a course of action. As your local experts, we have served the community for over 10 years, providing reliable and knowledgeable service.
We are fully licensed and insured, providing you with complete assurance throughout the project. We want to prove that we are the best certified arborists for this vital service.
Diagnosing and Treating Common Twin Cities Tree Diseases
Minnesota's climate and urban environment make many trees vulnerable to specific diseases and insect pressures. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential for successful treatment.
We maintain rigorous standards of licensure and continually update our knowledge through training.
Disease Prevention: Removing diseased or infested branches prevents the spread of pathogens or insects to other parts of the tree or surrounding plants. This is especially important for proactive care against diseases.
Pest Control: We manage common damaging insects, including two of the biggest threats to our area: the Emerald Ash Borer and Gypsy Moth.
Nutrient and Soil Health: Our treatments include deep-root fertilization and soil amendments to correct deficiencies that weaken a tree's natural immunity.

Integrated Treatment Plan: Based on the diagnosis, we create a customized plan that may include treatments, deep-root feeding, or corrective Tree Trimming.
Monitoring and Follow-up: We don't just treat the issue and leave; we provide ongoing monitoring to ensure the treatment is effective and your tree is on the path to full recovery.

Focus on Emerald Ash Borer Treatment
The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is a devastating invasive insect that has severely impacted Ash trees throughout the Twin Cities. If you have Ash trees, preventative treatment is the only effective way to protect them.
We maintain rigorous standards of licensure and continually update our knowledge through training.
EAB Diagnosis: We inspect your Ash trees for tell-tale signs of infestation, such as D-shaped exit holes, S-shaped tunnels under the bark, and canopy dieback.
Systemic Treatment: Our certified arborists administer highly effective, systemic insecticide treatments directly to the tree's vascular system. This protective injection is more effective than surface sprays.
Long-Term Strategy: We help you develop a multi-year treatment schedule to protect valuable Ash trees, avoiding the expense and property disruption of Tree Removal.
FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Removal
What are the warning signs that my tree needs Plant Health Care?
Look for signs such as premature yellowing or dropping of leaves, branches dying back at the tips, unusual growths or cankers on the trunk, or visible signs of insect damage.
Is it too late to treat my Ash tree for Emerald Ash Borer?
Treatment is most effective when the tree is healthy or in the early stages of EAB infestation. A certified arborist needs to assess the extent of the damage to determine if treatment is still viable.
How do you determine what nutrients my tree needs?
We typically perform a visual inspection and may recommend a soil test to accurately determine any specific nutrient deficiencies or soil chemistry issues that are stressing the tree.
Is Plant Health Care just for large shade trees?
No, PHC services apply to all ornamental trees, shrubs, and even some large perennial beds on your property, ensuring the health of your entire landscape.
Can proactive PHC save me money in the long run?
Yes, investing in preventative care is significantly less expensive than the cost of a full Tree Removal or structural damage caused by a failing tree.
Are the chemical treatments you use safe for children and pets?
We prioritize safety and use treatments that are administered correctly by certified professionals, following all guidelines to ensure minimal risk to people and pets once the application is complete.
Do you offer preventative treatments for other diseases in the Lakeville area?
