We know you may have questions about emergency tree removal, routine pruning, lot clearing, or our service areas in the Twin Cities region. Find answers below to learn more about how we safely protect your property and ensure a clean, professional experience every time.
The best time to trim your trees in the Twin Cities metro area is winter and early spring. During these colder months, trees are dormant, which reduces stress caused by trimming off branches. Pests and diseases are also inactive during this time, minimizing the risk of an infection entering fresh cuts. Another benefit of trimming deciduous trees during winter is that without the leaves, it’s much easier to notice damaged or diseased branches that need to be removed.
There is no statewide law in Minnesota that requires a permit to remove trees growing on private property. However, individual cities and towns sometimes require a permit for tree removal, so it’s always best practice to check your city ordinances before cutting a tree down. There may be laws about removing trees in certain areas – such as a shoreline or on a border with public land – and regulations against removing protected native tree species.
The cost of professional tree removal in the Twin Cities metro varies based on several factors, including tree size, location, accessibility, and whether or not stump grinding is part of the service. Depending on all these factors, the average tree removal job will cost somewhere between $400 and $2,000.
