Residential Tree Pruning
Professional pruning keeps your shade trees, ornamentals, and fruit trees healthy, safe, and beautiful. We remove deadwood, improve structure, and shape canopies to enhance sunlight penetration and air circulation—critical for preventing fungal issues common in Minnesota’s humid summers. Proper pruning also reduces storm damage risk by eliminating weak branch attachments before they fail during our notorious August thunderstorms. Our ISA Certified Arborist ensures every cut follows species-specific best practices, whether we’re working on your backyard Honeycrisp apple tree or a towering silver maple shading your Lake Harriet bungalow.
Commercial Tree Pruning
Well-maintained trees enhance your commercial property’s professional appearance while reducing liability from hazardous limbs. We provide scheduled pruning programs for business parks, apartment complexes, HOAs, and retail properties throughout the Twin Cities metro. Our crew ensures proper clearance for buildings, signage, lighting, and pedestrian traffic while minimizing disruption to your tenants and customers. Annual maintenance contracts keep your property looking sharp year-round—from Bloomington’s commercial corridors to downtown St. Paul office parks.
Municipal Tree Pruning
Total Tree Care partners with municipalities and county agencies to maintain street trees, park trees, and public property throughout Dakota and Hennepin counties. Our cyclical pruning programs ensure boulevard lindens and elms remain safe for pedestrians and vehicles while preserving the urban forest that makes Twin Cities neighborhoods so livable. We understand municipal specifications, traffic control requirements, and the coordination needed for efficient public tree care.
Crown Reduction Pruning
When a tree has outgrown its space or developed an unbalanced canopy, crown reduction offers a safe alternative to harmful topping. Using proper drop-crotch pruning techniques, we selectively reduce canopy size while maintaining your tree’s natural form and health. This service proves particularly valuable for mature bur oaks and Norway maples that have become too large for their location or developed heavy, overextended limbs prone to ice storm failure.
Deadwood Removal
Dead branches don’t announce when they’re going to fall—they just do, often at the worst possible time. Deadwood removal eliminates this hazard from your trees, protecting your family, guests, vehicles, and structures below. This service proves especially important for high-traffic areas and trees near patios, driveways, and play areas. We identify and remove deadwood year-round, though it’s easiest to spot during the growing season when healthy branches have foliage.
Tree Removal
Sometimes removal is the right choice—whether a tree is dead, hazardous, storm-damaged, or simply in the wrong location. Our trained climbing arborists safely dismantle trees of all sizes using controlled rigging techniques that protect your property. From green ash killed by emerald ash borer to storm-damaged American elms, we handle complete removal including debris cleanup. Stump grinding is available to finish the job cleanly.
Crane-Assisted Tree Removal
Large trees in tight spaces, near power lines, or overhanging structures require specialized equipment for safe removal. Our crane-assisted operations lift tree sections over obstacles that make traditional climbing removal impractical. This approach actually reduces property damage risk and speeds up the job—getting our crew in and out faster while keeping your landscaping intact. It’s the safest option for challenging removals in established Minneapolis neighborhoods like Linden Hills or St. Paul’s Highland Park.
24/7 Emergency Tree Removal
Storms don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. Total Tree Care provides round-the-clock emergency response for fallen trees, storm damage, and immediate hazards throughout the Twin Cities. Whether a tree is blocking your driveway in Richfield, resting on your roof in Hastings, or threatening power lines in Farmington, we prioritize rapid response to restore safety and access. Our equipment fleet and experienced crew handle surge demand when Minnesota’s severe weather strikes.
Utility Line Clearance
Trees growing into power lines create fire hazards, service interruptions, and safety risks. We provide professional utility clearance pruning that maintains safe distances from overhead conductors while preserving tree health where possible. Our crew follows strict safety protocols for working near energized lines, ensuring the job gets done right without incident.
Hedge & Shrub Pruning
Complete property care extends beyond your trees. We provide professional hedge trimming, shrub shaping, and rejuvenation pruning for overgrown foundation plantings. Whether you need formal arborvitae hedges maintained with crisp lines or naturalistic lilac borders kept tidy, our crew delivers clean, healthy results that complement your landscape.
