Tree Service in Montrose, MN

Tree work in Montrose

Montrose has grown considerably in recent decades, and that shows up in the tree work in a way it does not in the older towns further west. There is the original core with mature trees close to houses, and then there is a good deal of newer residential development where the trees are young and the issue is completely different. On newer lots we spend more time on structural pruning than removal: taking out a competing second leader on a young maple takes a minute, and it prevents the split union that would have failed in a storm twenty years later. That is the cheapest tree work anybody will ever buy. On the older lots and the surrounding acreages it is the usual mix of removals, ash decisions and storm cleanup.

Our shop is at 225 Cokato St E in Cokato, roughly 16 miles away. We do not have an office in Montrose 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 Montrose

Removals here tend to be either mature trees in the older part of town or ash on acreages, and both get the same on-site assessment before we quote.

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 Montrose

• 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.
