Stop Tree Diseases Before They Claim the Rest of Your Landscape
One sick tree can become a neighborhood problem. Emerald ash borer, oak wilt, and Dutch elm disease are killing trees across the southwest Twin Cities metro, and an infected tree left standing spreads the problem to healthy trees nearby. Natures Touch Tree Care & Landscaping removes diseased trees correctly — with experts confirming the diagnosis and guiding every step.
Removing a diseased tree isn’t just cutting it down. Timing, sanitation, and disposal all matter when disease is involved.
Common Tree Diseases in Our Area
-
Emerald Ash Borer (EAB)

Oak Wilt

Apple Scab and Other Fungal Issues

Cankers and Root Rots
Infections that compromise a tree’s structure from within
Our Solution
Our staff first confirm what’s actually wrong with the tree. Misdiagnosis leads to unnecessary removals — or worse, leaving a truly infected tree standing while it spreads.
When removal is needed, we plan it around the disease. For oak wilt, that means respecting high-risk seasons and protecting root-grafted neighbors. For EAB and Dutch elm, it means careful handling and proper wood disposal so the infestation doesn’t hitch a ride to its next victim. Whether you’re a homeowner with one sick maple or a property manager with a row of dying ash, we handle it under one roof.
