Farmstead trees on the edges
Lakeville still has its rural edges, and the old farmsteads have big windbreak trees — oaks, elms, cottonwoods — that are dying out or dropping limbs on outbuildings. We remove them safely, even in tight spots, and haul everything out.
Builder trees too close to the house
In the newer developments off Kenwood Trail and Cedar Avenue, builders left a few big trees that are now crowding homes, driveways, and septic mounds. And emerald ash borer has killed the ash planted as quick shade. We take them down safely and leave the site clean.
Common calls in Lakeville

How it works

Lakeville tree questions, answered
Who owns the boulevard trees in Lakeville?
The city does. Lakeville controls all boulevard (street) trees — planting, care, removal, and replacement are the city's call. If your tree sits between the street and the sidewalk, check with Lakeville before anyone cuts. Learn more on the city's Forestry page.
Does Lakeville have a tree disease program?
Yes. The city's Forestry Division runs a Shade Tree Epidemic Pest Control Program covering emerald ash borer, oak wilt, and Dutch elm disease, with inspections and technical support for residents.
What about the old farmstead trees on Lakeville's edges?
Windbreak trees on the rural edges are often the biggest trees on the property — and the ones dropping limbs on outbuildings first. We remove them safely, even in tight spots, and haul everything out.
