Tree Care in Woodland, MN

If you're looking at the trees in your Woodland yard and wondering about their health, you're likely seeing the legacy of choices made when your home was built. Most houses here went up in the 1960s, and builders often planted fast-growing trees for quick shade. That's why we see so many mature silver maples and green ash trees. Silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations, while every green ash is now a target for the emerald ash borer. These trees looked great 40 years ago, but now they're entering a high-risk age where internal decay and structural flaws become serious liabilities. You can't see inside a tree from the outside, and problems often start years before symptoms appear. A hollow sound when you tap the trunk with a mallet is a late warning sign.
