Travis, the owner, went into the tree business in 1997 directly out of high school. Working with another large tree company for the first few years, gave him the insight that people needed a company that would actually take their time, do the job right, and build client relationships. 2000-2003 - 'Family Tree' was in the making.
First we registered 'Family Tree Service LLC' with the state of MN. We purchased our first set of climbing & rigging gear, a set of Arborist pruning tools, multiple city licenses and an insurance policy. Then we began doing maintenance work on small to medium sized trees for residents and other business owners throughout the Twin Cities.

Services
Everyone is aware that we need to conserve energy. What about the work trees are doing for us? Big $ is lost every year paying for improper tree services, resulting in tree decline and trees dying, in turn losing more money on recovery and replacement efforts. An arborist (or tree surgeon) is a professional in the practice of arboriculture, the management and maintenance of trees.
Tree Services
Report
There are many different trees in all sorts of locations. There are also many people with different ideas on what should be taken off a tree during a trim. Often too much material is thought needed to be removed. This is a costly mistake, as it comprises tree health and safety. We can only offer healthy and safe pruning adjustments.
Tree Trimming / Tree Pruning
Report
Have you ever seen a tree that was 'trimmed' by someone who didn't know what they're doing? This results in irreversible damage that can cause dieback to a portion or to a whole tree. By having our Arborist perform your tree pruning, you can be assured that no Climbing Spurs will be used unless specific requests are made, and that all our pruning protocol follows ANSI A300 standards.
Tree Health/Safety
Report
In order to diagnose tree health, we must first look at the physical properties of trees in general. The outer layers, the 'Biological Tree', are where water is being transferred and living tissue is growing. The inner heartwood, the 'Mechanical Tree', makes up the interior structure of a tree. For a tree that appears healthy, very full and green, could actually have a heartwood failure, and be hollowing from the inside out.

Although we specialize in tree preservation and restoration work, we are also highly skilled in the removal of trees. Using two lines for control : the first rope (coming twards you) helps control movement from its current position, into an inverted position- the second rope (hanging straight down) is the bull line that will support the weight and allow the piece to be lowered safely to the ground.
