Tree Trimming in Eyota

Eyota is a small town on MN-14 between Rochester and Winona, and it has seen modest growth as an affordable alternative for Rochester-area workers. The housing mix is primarily post-war and mid-century single-family homes, with some newer construction on the edges. Its agricultural surroundings mean open lots with large, older shade trees that have rarely been professionally maintained. It's a quiet community where a lot of tree work gets done by homeowners until the trees get too large.

Rochester gets real winters. Ice storms hit the Southeast Heights and Folwell neighborhoods hard, and silver maple branches — which snap faster than most people expect — end up on roofs, fences, and power lines. A lot of the trees in this area were planted in the 1960s and 1970s when those neighborhoods were built, which means they're big now and overdue for attention. Ignoring overgrown or cracked limbs doesn't save money. It usually means a bigger cleanup bill later, or a call to your insurance company.

We look at the whole tree before we touch it — where the weight is sitting, which limbs are dead or cracked, and what's underneath. Cutting the wrong branch in the wrong order can split a trunk or drop a limb somewhere you didn't plan, so we work top-down with the right equipment for the size of the job.
