Tree Services That Fit Shafer, MN’s Terrain

Our Tree Services in Shafer, MN

Tree Hazards Hiding in Plain Sight

From Redwing Avenue to farm roads just outside city limits, Shafer properties face a range of tree-related challenges:

• Wind-worn oaks and maples near driveways or sheds

• Trees planted too close to garages, fencing, or barns

• Saturated soils causing root instability

• Dense brush choking out healthier trees

With USDA Zone 4b conditions—cold winters, freeze-thaw cycles, and soggy spring ground—proactive tree care goes a long way in preventing future damage.

Pruning That Helps Trees—and Structures—Thrive

We trim with strategy, not just saws. Our arborists shape trees to:

• Improve airflow and reduce stress on limbs

• Clear roofs, driveways, and utility lines

• Let in light and open up visibility around your property

From old-growth yards to younger trees planted too close together, strategic pruning helps you avoid bigger issues down the road.

Storm Cleanup You Can Rely On

Shafer’s flat, open areas are prone to wind and snow damage. When storms hit, we move fast to remove:

• Downed limbs across driveways or buildings

• Large fallen trees

• Hangers and cracked canopies creating hazards above

Whether you're in town or down a gravel road, we bring the same urgency and care.

Full Tree Evaluations for Smart Decisions

Not all problems are visible from the street. Our full-property assessments check for:

• Trunk cracks and hidden decay

• Weak branch unions and pest activity

• Root plate shifting from oversaturation or erosion

We help homeowners identify threats early—especially important for preserving old-growth trees or protecting new investments.

Safe, Controlled Tree Removal

When a tree becomes a liability—dead, diseased, leaning, or interfering with use—we remove it using industry-standard rigging and safety practices.

• No damage to nearby structures or landscaping

• Controlled drops and careful dismantling

• Full cleanup and respectful crews every time

We’ve worked on everything from rural driveways and cabins to large open lots and hobby farms.
