Save Your Tree for a Fraction of the Cost of Losing It

Treating a valuable tree often costs far less than removing it — and infinitely less than replacing decades of shade, beauty, and property value. Natures Touch Tree Care & Landscaping provides professional tree disease treatments throughout the southwest Twin Cities metro, including both emerald ash borer treatment for ash trees and Dutch elm disease treatment for elms. Our experts assess each tree honestly and treat only the ones that can truly be saved.

Mature trees take 30 to 50 years to replace. Protecting one you already have is one of the best investments a property owner can make.

Benefits of Professional Tree Treatment

  • Keep Mature Trees Alive — Preserve the shade, privacy, and character that took decades to grow
  • Spend Less Than Removal — Treatment typically costs a fraction of taking down and replacing a large tree
  • Protect Property Value — Healthy mature trees add real value; dead ones subtract it
  • Stay Ahead of the Outbreak — Preventive EAB treatment protects healthy ash before beetles arrive
  • Expert-Verified Candidacy — We only recommend treatment when the tree can actually benefit

Treatments We Provide

We offer both of the metro’s most important tree disease treatments:

  • Emerald Ash Borer Treatment — Insecticide protection for healthy ash and trees in the early stages of infestation. Treatments are reapplied on a recurring schedule, typically every one to three years, to keep beetles from killing the tree.
  • Dutch Elm Disease Treatment — Protective care for high-value elms, including fungicide treatment and therapeutic pruning for infections caught at the very first flagging branch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my tree is a good treatment candidate?

Generally, ash trees with most of their canopy intact and elms caught at the first wilting branch are the best candidates. Our tree experts evaluates the tree in person and gives you a straight answer.

How often does EAB treatment need to be repeated?

Most EAB treatments are reapplied every one to three years, depending on the product and the tree. Protection lapses if the schedule does, so consistency matters.

Is treating a tree really cheaper than removing it?

For most mature trees, yes — a single treatment costs far less than a large removal. Over many years the costs can converge, which is why we walk you through the long-term math for your specific tree.

What if treatment doesn't work?

No treatment is guaranteed, especially for infections caught late. If a treated tree continues to decline, we’ll tell you honestly and handle the removal properly when the time comes.
