Lake wind is hard on weak trees
The wind coming off Prior Lake finds every weak tree on the shoreline. We work the neighborhoods around Upper and Lower Prior Lake and out by Spring Lake, removing dead and storm-damaged oaks and cottonwoods before the next blow takes them down on a dock, deck, or roof.

How it works

Prior Lake tree questions, answered
Why do shoreline trees fail in Prior Lake?
Lake wind. The wind coming off Upper and Lower Prior Lake finds every weak tree on the shoreline, and it is brutal on dead ash and storm-weakened oaks and cottonwoods. We work the neighborhoods around both lakes and out by Spring Lake.
Can you work around docks and decks?
Yes. Shoreline lots are tight, and we plan the takedown around docks, decks, and roofs so nothing gets damaged — then haul everything out when we are done.
What is happening to the ash around Jeffers Pond?
Emerald ash borer has killed ash all over the Prior Lake area, including the neighborhoods around Jeffers Pond and the streets off Highway 13 and County Road 21. Dead ash turns brittle fast, so it should come down before the next storm makes the decision for you.
