Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my ash tree has emerald ash borer?
Signs of emerald ash borer include S-shaped galleries under the bark, D-shaped exit holes roughly the size of a pencil tip, and increased woodpecker activity on the trunk. Canopy dieback starting at the top of the tree is another common indicator. An arborist can confirm infestation and advise on whether treatment is still viable or removal is the better choice.
Does Shadywood Tree Experts handle stump grinding?
Yes, stump grinding is available after tree removal or as a standalone service for existing stumps. A grinder reduces the stump to chips below ground level, which removes the tripping hazard and allows the area to be replanted or sodded over. Ask about adding stump grinding when you request your initial estimate.
Can you plant new trees after removing old ones?
Tree planting is part of the landscaping services Shadywood offers, so replacing a removed tree is something they can help with. Choosing the right species for your yard's light, soil, and available space is important for long-term success. They can recommend options suited to Minnesota's climate and your specific property conditions.
Is it safe to trim large trees myself?
Small pruning tasks on low branches are manageable for a careful homeowner, but anything requiring a ladder or chainsaw near power lines is a job for professionals. Falls and contact with utility lines are the two biggest risks in DIY tree work. For any branches above about 10 feet or near your roofline, hiring a crew is the safer call.
What are the signs that a tree needs to be removed?
Major structural cracks, significant lean toward a structure, large sections of dead canopy, and visible root damage are all indicators that removal may be necessary. Trees with more than 50 percent of their crown dead are generally not worth treating. An on-site assessment is the best way to determine whether a troubled tree can be saved or needs to come down.
Do you serve commercial properties in Hopkins and surrounding cities?
Yes, Shadywood works with commercial property owners, HOAs, and property managers throughout the Hopkins area and surrounding communities. Commercial jobs often involve multiple trees, specific documentation requirements, or coordination around business hours. Reaching out with the scope of your property needs upfront helps them plan the right crew and equipment.
