When a tree on your property becomes unsafe, diseased, or simply outgrows its space, you need a local tree removal company you can trust in St. Paul, MN. Gold Leaf Tree Services, LLC provides professional tree removal for homeowners and businesses throughout Saint Paul, Maplewood, Woodbury, Oakdale, and the greater Twin Cities Metro. Our experienced crew uses modern equipment and safe techniques to remove trees of all sizes while protecting your home, landscaping, and surrounding structures.
We are a family-owned, fully insured tree service that offers free estimates and 24/7 emergency service, so you can get help fast when a hazardous tree is putting your property at risk.
St. Paul's mix of mature urban trees, tight city lots, and seasonal storms makes safe tree removal especially important. Heavy snow, ice, and strong winds can weaken branches, split trunks, and cause large trees to lean toward homes, garages, or power lines. When that happens, delaying removal can lead to:
Our arborist-led team evaluates each tree's health, structure, and proximity to buildings, streets, alleys, and neighboring yards before recommending removal or another service. For many St. Paul and Ramsey County properties, strategic removal of one or two problem trees can dramatically improve safety, curb appeal, and sunlight in your yard.
Every tree and property in the St. Paul area is different, so we follow a careful, step-by-step removal process tailored to your site.
We visit your property, inspect the tree, review access and nearby structures, and provide a clear, written estimate for the removal and any add-on services you may need.
In many St. Paul neighborhoods, trees near sidewalks, boulevards, or public right-of-ways require additional planning. We help you understand any city requirements and schedule work to minimize disruption to you and your neighbors.
Depending on the size and location, we may use sectional (piece-by-piece) removal, rigging, cranes, or bucket trucks to safely bring down the tree without damaging your home, garage, fence, or landscaping. Our crew uses proper PPE and follows industry safety standards on every job.
Once the tree is down, we cut and haul away logs, limbs, and brush, leaving your yard clean and ready for the next step, whether that is stump grinding, reseeding, or planting something new.
After removal, we can grind the stump below grade so you can reclaim the space for lawn, landscaping, or a new tree. We can also haul away grindings or leave them on-site as mulch, depending on your preference.

On-site walkthrough & written quote — usually within 48 hours.
We pick a date that works. Insurance jobs prioritized.
Branches hauled, yard raked, you're left smiling.
Storm damage claims can be a nightmare. We handle the carrier coordination, documentation, and billing so you can focus on your property — not paperwork.
We look for signs of severe disease, structural failure, large dead sections, root damage, lean toward structures, or trees growing too close to your home or power lines. We give honest assessments — if a tree can be saved with pruning, we'll tell you. Removal is the last option.
Most residential tree removals take 2-4 hours, including cleanup. Larger trees, removals requiring a crane, or jobs with tight access can take a full day. We give you a time estimate with your written quote.
We take precautions to protect your lawn, garden beds, and hardscaping — using plywood mats under heavy equipment, lowering large pieces with rigging, and cleaning up thoroughly afterward. Minor lawn impressions can occur with heavy equipment but typically recover within a few weeks.
Yes. Winter is actually an excellent time for tree removal — the ground is frozen (which reduces lawn damage), trees are dormant, and our schedule is often more open. We work year-round across the Twin Cities.
By default, we haul away all wood and debris. If you'd like to keep the wood for firewood, we can cut it to length and stack it on your property — just let us know during the estimate.
Whether it's a routine trim or a storm emergency — we're ready right now.
