Trees we grind most in Lakeville

Lakeville’s rapid growth over the last 30 years has left a real mix of tree ages — old farmstead windbreaks of Norway spruce and cottonwood standing next to brand-new subdivision plantings of honeylocust and linden. Ash was planted widely through the 90s and 2000s boom and is now aging into emerald ash borer territory across many neighborhoods. Silver maple and willow are common around Lake Marion and Orchard Lake, where shoreline root systems spread wide. Bur oak survives in scattered stands near the older parts of the city, particularly close to the historic downtown district.

Working the Lakeville landscape

Lake Marion anchors the center of Lakeville, and shoreline homeowners there often deal with silver maple and willow stumps with roots close to the water. The historic downtown district along Holyoke Avenue retains some of the city’s oldest tree plantings, a contrast to the younger boulevard trees in newer developments like Avonlea and Spirit of Brandtjen Farm. Antlers Park and the trail system around it border several older properties with mature oak and cottonwood. Lakeville’s mix of century-old downtown blocks and 2020s-era subdivisions means our crews see an unusually wide range of stump ages here.

Ash borer & disease work in Lakeville

Lakeville’s ash trees, planted heavily during the 90s and 2000s development boom, are now reaching prime emerald ash borer vulnerability, and the city has been removing infested boulevard ash as it’s identified. Because so much of Lakeville was built out in a relatively compressed window, ash losses tend to hit entire newer neighborhoods around the same time. Storm damage from the 2022 derecho also affected wooded lots on the city’s north side. Dutch Elm disease is a minor factor confined mostly to the historic downtown area, where a handful of older elms remain — this city’s story is really about ash and rapid-growth-era plantings.

How far is Lakeville from your base and how fast can you schedule?

Lakeville is about 30-35 minutes from our Eden Prairie base, and we typically schedule within a week to ten days.

Why are ash trees dying across my whole new neighborhood?

Many Lakeville subdivisions were built and planted within the same few years during the 90s-2000s boom, so the ash trees are aging into emerald ash borer vulnerability at roughly the same time.

Do you grind old farmstead windbreak trees in Lakeville?

Yes, this is common on the city's newer-development edges where old farmland windbreaks of spruce and cottonwood are being removed as lots get built out.

Can you handle stump work near Lake Marion or Orchard Lake?

Yes, we regularly grind silver maple and willow stumps on shoreline lots around both lakes.

Is Dutch Elm disease a concern in Lakeville?

It's a minor factor here, mostly limited to a handful of older elms in the historic downtown district near Holyoke Avenue.
