Tree Service in Mound, MN

Professional Tree Care for Mound’s Lakeside & Wooded Properties

Mound sits at the heart of the Lake Minnetonka area, surrounded by bays, channels, and wooded neighborhoods that make the community unique — and also demanding when it comes to tree care. Many homes sit on sloped ground, lakefront edges, or older lots with decades-old hardwoods. That combination calls for a tree service provider that works with precision, clean processes, and an understanding of the terrain.

TreeTec provides full-service tree care throughout Mound, from compact in-town neighborhoods to lake-facing homes on Seton Lake, Lost Lake, Cooks Bay, and the surrounding areas. Whether you need a hazardous tree removed near a home addition, trimming to help your lawn thrive, or storm cleanup after high winds, we bring experience, modern equipment, and careful planning to every job.

Tree Removal Designed for Mound’s Terrain, Lots & Lake Exposure

Tree removal in Mound often involves unique challenges: hillside properties, tight access down to the lake, older trees growing near decks or boathouses, and storm-prone hardwoods exposed to winds sweeping across the water. Our removal process is specifically built for these conditions.

We use controlled rigging, sectional takedowns, and low-impact equipment to safely remove trees where machines can’t reach. On sloped terrain or close to retaining walls, we plan anchor points and rope systems to stabilize sections as they’re lowered. For lakeside yards with limited access, we work from existing walkways or narrow pads and use compact equipment to protect sod and landscaping.

Whether dealing with dying ash trees, leaning maples, or storm-damaged oaks, we prioritize safety, clean results, and preserving the surrounding landscape. All material is hauled away unless you prefer to keep firewood or chips on-site.

Tree Trimming for Safety, Sunlight & Lakeside Conditions

Mound’s mix of mature hardwoods and lakeside exposure means trimming is not just about appearance — it’s essential for protecting homes and maximizing property use. Our tree trimming services focus on both safety and long-term tree health.

Homeowners often call us to trim:

• Branches hanging over roofs, gutters, or walkways
• Limbs blocking lake views or limiting sunlight
• Heavy, overextended limbs with wind-overload risk
• Early-season deadwood in older canopies
• Trees encroaching on patios, decks, or docks

For lakefront properties, wind from across the water can overstress trees on the shoreline. Thinning and weight reduction help trees withstand these wind loads without removing more foliage than necessary.

Our approach is conservative but effective — we remove only what is needed to keep your trees strong, balanced, and safe, while preserving the natural, wooded feel that makes Mound desirable.

Stump Grinding to Reclaim Usable Space

Tree stumps are especially inconvenient on steep or narrow Mound lots. Our stump grinding service removes stumps below grade, even on uneven ground or in tight lakefront spaces. Grinding opens up room for new plantings, landscaping, or simply safer movement around your yard.

We take extra care around:

• Hillside erosion-control features
• Shoreline plantings
• Landscape beds
• Pathways and deck footings
• Irrigation lines and drainage areas

Once the stump is removed, we can haul away chips or leave them onsite depending on your plans.

Lot & Brush Clearing for Lakeside Improvements, Outdoor Living & Trails

Many Mound homeowners update their properties over time — adding patios, creating pathways, cleaning wooded borders, or planning lakeside seating areas. Our land clearing service is ideal for improving both wooded and landscaped spaces.

We remove:

• Brush and dense understory growth
• Saplings competing with mature trees
• Overgrown vegetation along property lines
• Storm debris hidden in wooded areas
• Small, problem trees creating clutter or blocking drainage

This service is especially useful before landscaping projects, yard expansions, additions, or shoreline improvements.

Storm Damage & Emergency Tree Service for Mound

Mound sees frequent wind and storm events, especially on exposed points and lake-facing homes. When a tree or limb comes down, quick action is essential to prevent further damage or restore access.

Our 24/7 emergency tree service covers:

• Clearing downed trees blocking driveways or roads
• Removing broken limbs resting on roofs, garages, or decks
• Stabilizing dangerous hanging branches
• Cleanup after major storm events
• Protecting vulnerable areas from additional damage

We respond quickly and leave your property safe, accessible, and clean.
