L&C Tree RemovalTrees around the lakes
Chanhassen's lakes are ringed with big oaks and pines — beautiful until one dies or a storm snaps it. We work the shoreline neighborhoods around Lake Ann and Lake Susan and the homes backing up to Lake Minnewashta Regional Park, taking down dead and leaning trees without tearing up the yard.

The neighborhoods along Highway 5 and Powers Boulevard were built into the woods, and those woods are aging. Dead ash from emerald ash borer, oaks with storm damage, pines leaning over driveways — we remove them and haul everything out when we're done.

How it works
Chanhassen tree questions, answered
Does Chanhassen regulate tree removal on residential lots?
No. A Heritage Tree Ordinance was proposed in fall 2025 but was never adopted, so Chanhassen does not currently regulate tree removal on existing private lots. Before a large removal, text us and we will help you check what applies to your lot.
Do you work around the lakes in Chanhassen?
Yes. Tight shoreline lots are normal work for us — the plan is always to protect the lawn and the neighbors' trees while the tree comes down.
When is the best time to prune oaks in Chanhassen?
We only prune oak trees when it is cold, for the safety of the trees. Our suggested window is mid-November to mid-March — that is our opinion from experience, not a city rule. If storm damage forces pruning in the warm months, wounds should be sealed immediately.
