Tree Care in Mendota Heights, MN

If you're looking at the trees in your Mendota Heights yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of the early 1980s. That's when many of our neighborhoods were built, and builders often chose fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why so many properties here have mature silver maples, which are now 40-plus years old with weak wood and aggressive surface roots, or ornamental Bradford pears, which are structurally prone to splitting after about 20 years. These trees were planted for a different time, and now they're reaching an age where their inherent weaknesses meet our local storm patterns. With over 16 significant storm events a year, including heavy summer thunderstorms, these aging trees face real stress.
