Tree Care in Wayzata, MN

If you're looking at the trees in your Wayzata yard and feeling concerned, you're not alone. Most of the problems we see here trace back to the original landscaping choices made when these neighborhoods were built. In the 1980s, builders often planted fast-growing trees like silver maple for quick shade and curb appeal. Forty years later, those trees have matured into potential liabilities, with weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and sidewalks. We also see a lot of green ash from that era, which is now under direct threat from the emerald ash borer. The good news is that your property also likely has valuable, long-lived natives like bur oak and sugar maple that are worth protecting and can handle our cold winters and humid summers.
