Eliminating Dangerous Trees Before They Cause Damage or Injury
A hazardous tree puts everything around it at risk — your home, your vehicles, your family, and your neighbors. Throughout the southwest Twin Cities metro, Natures Touch Tree Care & Landscaping specializes in removing dangerous trees safely before gravity makes the decision for you. A n expert personally evaluates every hazard tree and oversees the removal plan from start to finish.
Minnesota weather is hard on trees. Heavy snow loads, ice, saturated spring soils, and violent summer storms can turn a weakened tree into a serious liability fast.
Common Hazard Tree Problems We See
-
Leaning Trees
A new or worsening lean often signals root failure underground
-
Cracks and Splits
Vertical cracks in trunks or major limbs can fail without warning
-
Large Dead Limbs
“Widow makers” hanging over roofs, driveways, and play areas
-
Root and Trunk Decay
Fungus, cavities, and soft wood that hollow a tree from the inside
-
Storm-Damaged Trees
Partially failed trees left unstable after wind or ice events
-
Trees Over Structures and Lines
Healthy-looking trees in positions where any failure means major damage
Our Solution
We start with an honest assessment. Some “scary” trees can be saved with pruning or cabling, and we’ll tell you when that’s the case — our reputation is built on doing right by customers, not selling unnecessary removals.
When removal is the answer, we design a controlled takedown around the specific hazard. That usually means sectional removal with ropes and rigging, lowering each piece away from structures, lines, and landscaping. Our crews are equipped for everything from a single risky backyard tree to large-scale commercial hazard work.
