Tree Service in Maple Lake, MN

Tree work in Maple Lake

Maple Lake sits between Annandale and Buffalo along the Highway 55 corridor, in the same belt of lakes and rolling ground. The work here splits about evenly between town lots and lake or acreage property. In town it is the familiar problem of mature trees planted close to houses on streets that were laid out long before anyone thought about mature spread. Outside town it is lake lots with the usual access constraints and rural properties with room to work. Because Maple Lake is genuinely rural once you leave the town limits, a fair amount of our work here is the straightforward kind: yard trees on acreages that can be felled whole, shelterbelt rows, and fence lines that have grown in to the point the fence cannot be maintained.

Our shop is at 225 Cokato St E in Cokato, roughly 18 miles away. We do not have an office in Maple Lake and we are not going to pretend otherwise. What that distance actually buys you is that we are close enough to come and look at the tree properly rather than quoting it off a photo and hoping.

Tree Removal in Maple Lake

The removals here run the full range, from an open-field fell to a tree tight against a lake cabin, which is why the estimate is always done on site rather than over the phone.

Removal is the biggest part of what we do, and the jobs people call about are usually the awkward ones. If there is no room to drop it, see hazardous tree removal. If it is an ash, ash removal covers the treat-or-remove decision. And if you want a number before anyone comes out, the instant estimate takes about a minute.

What we do in Maple Lake

• Tree Removal: Backyard trees through to hazardous removals that need rigging, a lift, or the grapple truck. If it is leaning over the house, start here.
• Hazardous Removal: The removals with no room to drop. Trees over houses, power drops and tight yards, taken down in sections on ropes.
• Ash Removal: Emerald ash borer is working through the ash in Wright and Meeker counties. Dead ash gets brittle fast, and waiting makes the job harder.
• Emergency Service: Storm damage, split trunks and trees on structures. The phone gets answered and someone comes to look.
• Storm Cleanup: After the immediate danger is handled: hangers, broken tops, fence lines and the wood that is still lying where it landed.
• Tree Trimming: Clearance, crown thinning and structural pruning, timed around the oak wilt window and cut to the collar.
• Stump Grinding: Ground below grade so you can mow, replant, or rework the bed. Chips left or hauled, your call.
• Land & Lot Clearing: Building sites, fence lines, buckthorn and acreage that has grown in. Selective where it should be.
• Emerald Ash Borer: Trunk injection on a two year cycle for the ash worth keeping, and a straight answer about the ones that are not.
