L&C Tree RemovalAging trees in established neighborhoods
The neighborhoods around Staring Lake, Bryant Lake, and Riley Lake Park went in decades ago, and the trees planted then are big now — and some are failing. We remove dead and diseased oaks and maples before they drop limbs on roofs, fences, and play sets.
Dead ash everywhere
Emerald ash borer has been brutal in Eden Prairie. Boulevard ash along Flying Cloud Drive and the neighborhood streets, backyard ash planted as fast shade — once they're dead they're brittle and dangerous. Dead ash removal is our specialty, and we take them down safely.
Common calls in Eden Prairie
- Dead ash in yards and boulevard strips
- Diseased oaks dropping limbs
- Storm-damaged trees after summer storms
- Trees too close to the house or deck
How it works
Eden Prairie tree questions, answered
Can Eden Prairie make me remove a diseased tree?
Yes. Eden Prairie's forestry inspectors inspect trees on public and private property, and if a tree is confirmed diseased — oak wilt or Dutch elm disease — the city can order it removed by a date they set, at the owner's expense. That's the city's call, not the homeowner's — but if you get one of those notices, call or text us right away and we'll handle the removal. See the city's forestry page for the city's own description.
Does Eden Prairie require replacement trees?
For development projects, the city's tree replacement ordinance can require a replacement plan. But dead or diseased trees are exempt, and small residential removals — one significant tree, or 10 percent of significant trees within five years — are exempt too.
What trees are failing in Eden Prairie?
Mature trees from those older plantings are the ones failing now — if yours is dropping limbs or looks dead at the top, that's the time to call. Boulevard ash along Flying Cloud Drive has been hit hard by emerald ash borer. We remove dead and diseased oaks, maples, and ash before they drop limbs on roofs, fences, and play sets.
