Lakeshore trees on Gray's Bay
The shoreline neighborhoods on Gray's Bay and the Lake Minnetonka bays deal with wind-snapped trees and ash dying from emerald ash borer. We work the lakeshore lots around Minnetonka, taking down dead and dangerous trees and leaving the site clean.

How it works
Minnetonka tree questions, answered
Does Minnetonka regulate tree removal?
Minnetonka's tree protection ordinance applies to construction, site work, and development projects — and it counts trimming an oak between April 1 and July 15 as a removal. For an ordinary dead-tree removal on an existing lot, the rules are different. Text us and we will help you check what applies. See the city's ordinance, Section 314.01, on the code library page.
What about the old oaks in Minnetonka Mills?
Minnetonka's oldest oaks are also its biggest — when one starts dying or splitting, section-by-section removal is how it comes down safely. Tight lots between homes are routine for us — the tree comes down in pieces and everything gets hauled out.
Do you work lakeshore lots on Gray's Bay?
Yes. Wind off the bays snaps weak trees first, and EAB is finishing the ash — shoreline lots get both problems at once. Every lakeshore job ends the same way: tree down, debris hauled, site left clean.
