We bring local knowledge, professional equipment, and a safety-first approach to every job.
Our Services in Forest Lake
Tree Risk Assessment
Leaning trunks, hollow cores, and root instability aren’t always visible from the outside. We offer thorough inspections—especially helpful for homes near Forest Lake’s shoreline, wooded cul-de-sacs, or older neighborhoods like the First Lake Addition.
Tree Removal
From tight backyards to heavily wooded lots, we remove trees safely and efficiently using industry-standard rigging techniques. Whether it's a pine leaning near the house or a dead oak by the water, we get the job done with minimal impact on your property.
Pruning & Trimming
Enhance curb appeal and safety by trimming back overgrowth, clearing branches near power lines or roofs, and opening up scenic views. Regular pruning helps reduce storm damage and supports long-term tree health—especially on lots with mature hardwoods or dense canopy.
Storm Cleanup
After a Forest Lake storm, fallen limbs and blocked access can create stress and safety issues. We respond promptly to remove debris, assess damage, and prevent further hazards—serving neighborhoods like Evergreen Ridge, Clear Lake, and the Beltline.
Brush & Lot Clearing
We help homeowners clear overgrowth, prep for construction, and manage invasive species—whether you're making room for a new garage, refreshing an overgrown yard, or clearing space around the lake. We follow Forest Lake’s site disturbance and grading rules to keep your project on track.
