Our Tree Services in Shafer, MN

  • Tree Risk Assessment

    We inspect trees for decay, leaning trunks, root damage, and weak branches—especially important for older properties and exposed lots along country roads or near wetlands. Shafer falls within USDA Hardiness Zone 4b, where trees face extreme cold, ice, and freeze-thaw stress. Understanding your zone helps determine which species thrive and which need extra care or removal before winter.

  • Professional Tree Removal

    When a tree is dead, diseased, or dangerously close to a structure, removal is the safest choice. Our team uses proper rigging and removal methods to protect nearby buildings, fences, and gardens—without tearing up your yard.

  • Trimming & Pruning

    Shape and maintain your trees with thoughtful trimming that improves health, structure, and aesthetics. We prune to prevent breakage, improve sunlight, and ensure clearance around driveways, roofs, and power lines.

  • Storm Cleanup

    Strong winds and lightning are no strangers to Shafer. After storms, we clear downed trees, limbs, and debris to restore safe access and protect against further damage—serving farms, residential areas, and county roads alike.

  • Lot & Brush Clearing

    Whether you’re prepping a parcel of land or reclaiming overgrown space, we clear brush, invasive species, and small trees efficiently—always mindful of Shafer’s zoning and environmental guidelines.
