Twin Cities Tree Removal

Removing a tree isn’t just about cutting it down—it’s about protecting your property, improving safety, and making room for what’s next. At TreeTec, we provide safe, professional tree removal services for homeowners and property managers throughout the Minneapolis West Metro.

Whether you’re dealing with a dead or dying tree, a hazardous lean, or a tree that’s simply outgrown its space, we’ll handle the job with precision and care.

When Is Tree Removal Necessary?

There are several situations where removal is the best—and safest—option:

  • The tree is dead or declining in health

  • Structural damage from storms or lightning strikes

  • Roots are threatening foundations, sewer lines, or driveways

  • The tree is leaning dangerously or has split limbs

  • You need to clear space for construction or landscaping

  • Invasive or undesirable species crowding your yard

If you're unsure whether a tree needs to be removed, we can inspect it and provide honest recommendations.

A Safe, Efficient Process from Start to Finish

Tree removal can be dangerous without the right tools and experience. That’s why we:

  • Use industry-standard equipment like bucket trucks and cranes

  • Follow strict safety protocols on every job site

  • Carefully dismantle trees section by section to avoid property damage

  • Handle all hauling, cleanup, and stump grinding if requested

Every removal is tailored to your unique situation—whether it’s in a tight backyard, near power lines, or part of a larger land clearing project.

Tree Trimming & Pruning

Benefits of Proper Trimming & Pruning

Regular tree trimming and pruning is one of the best things you can do to ensure the long-term health, safety, and appearance of your trees. At TreeTec, we apply proven arborist techniques to keep your trees strong, well-shaped, and safe to be around—season after season.

Why Tree Trimming Matters

Trimming isn’t just about making your trees look neat. It plays a critical role in:

  • Promoting healthy growth by removing dead, diseased, or weak limbs

  • Reducing the risk of storm damage by eliminating overextended branches

  • Preventing hazards near homes, power lines, driveways, or walkways

  • Shaping the canopy to encourage balanced, attractive growth

  • Improving sun and air flow through your landscape

What Is Pruning?

Pruning is a more strategic form of trimming—done with intention and long-term tree health in mind. It involves selectively removing branches to:

  • Improve tree structure and stability

  • Stimulate new, strong growth

  • Limit disease spread or pest infestations

  • Increase flowering or fruit production in ornamental species

Our arborists know how and when to prune each species for optimal results.

When Should You Trim or Prune?

In Minnesota, most trimming is best done during late winter or early spring, when trees are dormant and before new growth begins. However, light pruning and removal of dead branches can be done year-round.

For safety reasons, we offer emergency trimming any time a tree becomes hazardous.

Why Choose TreeTec?

We tailor each trimming and pruning job to your specific tree species, property layout, and goals. Whether you’re preparing for spring growth or cleaning up after a storm, TreeTec brings experience, proper equipment, and a clean, efficient approach.

Stump Grinding & Removal

Old tree stumps may seem harmless, but they can cause more problems than you think. Left unattended, stumps not only detract from your yard’s appearance—they also pose real safety risks and attract pests. That’s why TreeTec offers fast, professional stump grinding services to fully remove stumps and restore your landscape.

Whether you’ve recently had a tree removed or you’ve been staring at a decaying stump for years, we’ll help you reclaim that space with minimal disruption to your yard.

Why Remove Tree Stumps?

There are several reasons to grind down a stump instead of leaving it behind:

  • Improve curb appeal by removing unsightly remnants of old trees

  • Eliminate tripping hazards in lawns, walkways, and play areas

  • Prevent pest problems like termites, carpenter ants, and fungi

  • Avoid future growth from suckers or invasive roots

  • Make room for landscaping projects, replanting, or sod installation

Even small stumps can create obstacles for mowers and foot traffic—and over time, they may decay and spread disease to nearby trees.

How Our Stump Grinding Works

At TreeTec, we use commercial-grade stump grinders to remove stumps well below ground level. Our process includes:

  • Assessing the location and nearby utilities

  • Grinding the stump down to a recommended depth

  • Cleaning up mulch and wood chips

  • Optional regrading or backfilling for a smooth finish

This service is safe, efficient, and typically completed in less than an hour, depending on the stump size and number.

Clean Finish. No Surprises.

Stump grinding is often the final step in tree removal—and one of the most important. When you choose TreeTec, you get expert service from a licensed team that’s committed to keeping your property safe and beautiful.
