Common Tree Problems in Shoreview
Leaning Trees
A tree that recently started leaning — especially after MN storms or heavy rain — may have root failure underground. A sudden lean is an emergency: the tree can fall at any time. Even a long-standing lean deserves professional evaluation.
Root Damage to Property
In Shoreview, aggressive roots crack driveways, lift sidewalks, invade sewer lines, and threaten foundations. Once roots damage infrastructure, the choice is usually root barriers, targeted root pruning, or removing the tree before damage spreads.
Stumps and Regrowth
Cut trees leave stumps that sprout suckers, attract termites and ants, and make mowing miserable. Grinding the stump below grade stops regrowth and frees the space for new planting or lawn.
Crowded or Competing Trees
Trees planted too close together compete for light and water, growing weak and spindly. Selective removal of the weaker trees lets the best specimens thrive — and opens up your yard.

Minnesota Tree Care: What to Watch For
Emerald ash borer has killed millions of ash trees across Minnesota, and many dead ashes are still standing — brittle, dangerous, and ready to fall. Add severe thunderstorms and heavy snow, and tree risk is a year-round concern. Shoreview-area homeowners should check ash trees for D-shaped exit holes and canopy dieback, and remove dead trees before they threaten homes.

“Our palms hadn't been trimmed in years and looked terrible. Now they're shaped beautifully. They knew exactly what they were doing with palms.”
“Fast, friendly, and thorough. They pruned six trees around our property in Shoreview and cleaned up every last twig. Highly recommend calling them.”
“They took down a massive dead oak leaning toward our house in Shoreview. The crew was careful, quick, and the cleanup was spotless — you couldn't tell a tree had been there.”
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should my trees be pruned?
Most mature landscape trees benefit from professional pruning every 3–5 years. Fast-growing species may need attention every 2–3 years. Young trees should be structurally pruned in their first decade to develop strong form — an investment that prevents expensive problems later.
What are the signs of emerald ash borer or pine beetles?
For emerald ash borer: D-shaped exit holes in bark, thinning upper canopy, increased woodpecker activity, and S-shaped galleries under bark. For pine beetles: pitch tubes (popcorn-like resin blobs) on trunks, boring dust, and fading crowns. Both kill trees quickly — in Minnesota, suspect trees should be evaluated without delay.
How can I tell if my tree is hollow inside?
Warning signs include large cavities or holes, mushrooms or conks growing from the trunk, carpenter ant activity, a hollow sound when tapped, and dead branches in the upper crown despite a green lower canopy. A hollow trunk severely weakens the tree — professional tools like resistograph drills can measure remaining sound wood.
Do you offer emergency tree service in Shoreview?
Yes — (888) 845-3153 is answered 24/7 for tree emergencies in the Shoreview area: trees on houses, blocked driveways, hanging limbs after storms, and any situation where a tree poses an immediate danger. Don't wait until morning with a tree on your roof.
Should I grind the stump or remove it completely?
Grinding (shredding the stump 6–12 inches below grade) is faster, less disruptive, and right for most Shoreview homeowners — you can replant or sod over it. Full stump extraction removes the entire root ball but tears up a large area and is usually reserved for construction sites or where deep replanting is planned.
How urgent is a dead tree in my yard?
Treat it as a priority. Dead trees are unpredictable — limbs drop without warning and whole trees fail in wind that healthy trees shrug off. In Minnesota, where emerald ash borer and severe storms kill thousands of trees yearly, a dead tree near your home, driveway, or play area should be scheduled for removal promptly.
How often do palm trees need trimming?
Most palms need trimming once a year — removing dead fronds, seed pods, and loose boots. Over-trimming ("hurricane cuts") weakens palms and is a common mistake. In Shoreview, annual maintenance keeps palms safe, attractive, and less attractive to pests that nest in dead skirts.
