Trees we grind most in Eagan
Eagan’s bluff neighborhoods above the Minnesota River hold onto a good stock of mature oak, including bur oak and red oak stands old enough to predate most of the surrounding development. Ash was planted widely through the city’s growth in the 70s through 90s, and emerald ash borer has been working through it in waves. We also grind a fair number of silver maple and cottonwood stumps near Thomas Lake and Blackhawk Lake, where root systems get wide and shallow close to the water. Boxelder and green ash round out a lot of the older boulevard plantings in the city’s central neighborhoods.
Working the Eagan landscape
Patrick Eagan Park and the bluffs overlooking the Minnesota River give the city some of its best remaining oak stands, and we’ve handled a number of oak wilt-related removals in that part of town. Thomas Lake and Blackhawk Lake shape the southern neighborhoods, where lakeshore lots often carry cottonwood and willow stumps with shallow, spreading roots. The Cedar Grove redevelopment area on the city’s north side represents Eagan’s newer commercial growth, with younger boulevard trees that need different handling than the older bluff-lot oaks. Eagan’s geography — river bluff on one edge, lake country in the middle — keeps our equipment choices varied job to job.
Ash borer & disease work in Eagan
Eagan has been proactive about ash removal, tracking infested boulevard trees and taking them down before they become hazards, which keeps a steady flow of ash stump work coming our way. Oak wilt is a real concern in the bluff neighborhoods near Patrick Eagan Park given the density of mature oak there, so we’re careful about seasonal timing on any oak removal. The 2022 derecho caused notable damage across the west and south metro, and Eagan lost a number of trees along its wooded bluff areas that we’re still occasionally called out to clean up. Between EAB, oak wilt, and storm recovery, Eagan keeps a fairly steady stump-grinding calendar.
