L&C Tree RemovalAging canopy in the first-ring suburbs
The neighborhoods off Old Shakopee Road, Penn Avenue, and Lyndale Avenue were built in the 60s and 70s, and the trees are that old too — big maples, oaks, and elms that are hollowing out and dropping limbs. We remove them before they damage homes, fences, and cars.
Ash borer devastated the boulevards
Emerald ash borer hit Bloomington's boulevard ash as hard as anywhere — the streets around Bush Lake, Hyland Lake Park Reserve, and Normandale Lake lost many ash trees. Dead ash is brittle and dangerous to remove; it's our specialty.
Common calls in Bloomington
- Dead boulevard ash from emerald ash borer
- Hollow or dying maples and oaks
- Storm-damaged trees after summer storms
- Trees leaning over homes, garages, and fences
How it works
Bloomington tree questions, answered
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Bloomington?
If the tree is on the boulevard — between the street and the sidewalk — it is city-managed, so check with Bloomington's Forestry Division before anyone cuts. For a tree on your own property, text us a photo and we will help you figure out what applies.
What happened to Bloomington's boulevard ash?
Boulevard ash is the city's to manage, but yard ash is yours — and EAB-killed yard ash is some of the most dangerous wood we remove. Dead ash is brittle and dangerous to remove; it is our specialty.
Are the 60s and 70s trees failing in Bloomington?
Many are. If your home dates to the 60s or 70s, your trees likely do too — hollow maples, oaks, and elms from that era are the ones dropping limbs now. We remove them before they damage homes, fences, and cars.
