How much does tree removal cost in Minneapolis, MN?
Tree removal in Minneapolis, MN typically starts around $400 for small trees under 30 feet, while large or hazardous removals generally run $1,500 to $3,500 or more. Price depends on tree size, how easily equipment can reach it, how close it stands to your house or power lines, and whether stump grinding is included. Gold Leaf gives a free written estimate — call 651-757-5258.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Minneapolis?
Minneapolis generally requires a permit from the city's Forestry division for work on boulevard trees — the trees in the public right-of-way between the sidewalk and the street. Trees fully on private property generally do not require a permit. Rules can change and some properties have added restrictions, so we help you check before scheduling.
Do you remove ash trees killed by Emerald Ash Borer in Minneapolis?
Yes. Minneapolis has been hit hard by Emerald Ash Borer, and thousands of ash trees have declined or died. Dead ash becomes brittle fast and is dangerous to take down, so we remove them with rigging and the right equipment, grind the stump, and haul everything away. Call 651-757-5258 for a free written estimate.
Which Minneapolis neighborhoods do you serve?
We work throughout Minneapolis, including Northeast, Longfellow, Nokomis, Uptown, Southwest, and the North Loop. Our shop is in Woodbury in the East Metro, so we schedule Minneapolis work in routed blocks and still answer storm calls at any hour. Call 651-757-5258 and we will confirm timing for your address.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency tree service in Minneapolis?
Yes. Gold Leaf answers the phone 24/7 for storm-damaged trees, limbs on homes or vehicles, and trees blocking driveways or alleys anywhere in Minneapolis. Call 651-757-5258 any hour and we will dispatch a crew as quickly as conditions and travel allow.
Can you work in tight Minneapolis city lots and alleys?
Yes. Most Minneapolis lots are narrow with alley access, overhead lines, and close neighbors. We use sectional removal, rigging, and compact equipment so large trees come down piece by piece without damaging fences, garages, or gardens. Sites are raked clean before we leave.
Are you insured to work on Minneapolis properties?
Yes. We carry general liability and workers' compensation coverage and can send a certificate of insurance to homeowners, landlords, HOAs, and property managers before work begins. Every estimate is free and in writing. Call 651-757-5258.
