A mature tree is worth protecting. A failing one is worth knowing about early.
Trees rarely announce a problem. Decay, root damage, poor branch unions, and storm stress build quietly, and the first clear signal is often a limb on a car or a fence.
We assess, prune correctly for the species, and are honest when the right recommendation is removal — including when a tree you love is past saving.
Scope, written out.
Every line below appears on your proposal, so you can hold it against anyone else’s bid.
- Structural and clearance pruning
- Crown thinning, raising, and reduction
- Deadwood removal
- Young tree training and staking
- Hazard assessment with written condition notes
- Emerald ash borer evaluation and planning
- Tree and stump removal
- Stump grinding and site restoration
- Storm damage response and debris removal
- Cabling and bracing where a tree can be saved
- Clearance from roofs, wires, and structures
- Replacement planting recommendations
The parts you cannot see are the parts that fail.
Pruned for the tree, not the schedule
Species-appropriate timing and proper cuts at the branch collar. Topping a tree makes it smaller this year and far more dangerous in five.
Hazards documented
Written condition notes on significant trees, so deferring work is a decision you made rather than something that happened to you.
Our own crews after a storm
When the whole metro is calling contractors at once, existing clients are not competing for a subcontractor's calendar.
Phased across budget years
Properties with several mature trees rarely need everything at once. We prioritize by risk and spread the rest.
Nobody in this market will give you a number. Here is what actually moves it.
Every landscape contractor in the Twin Cities refuses to quote before seeing the site, and honestly they are right to — access and grade change a price more than square footage does. What we will do is tell you which decisions drive your number, so you walk into the consultation knowing where the money goes.
- Tree size and species — height, spread, and wood density all matter
- Proximity to structures and wires — a technical removal over a house is a different job than a drop in an open yard
- Access — whether a bucket truck or crane can reach the tree
- Debris volume and hauling
- Stump grinding — quoted separately so you can decide
- Emergency versus scheduled — storm response is priced differently than planned work

What Twin Cities homeowners say
Verbatim from our Google reviews. We did not write these, and we do not get to pick which ones you see on Google — so go read all of them.
“Very impressed with the work by ProScapes. I will be working with them again. Reliable, on time, and very nice work!”
“Of all the companies I called to give me an estimate, Maddi from ProScapes is the ONLY person who followed up with me. She is so conscientious, had great recommendations and took my drawings and turned them into a fabulous reality. Her team was on time, knew exactly what to do and were flexible with my suggestions while on site. They came back a year later to fix a couple of things that didn’t grow back. I recommended them to my neighbors and they too had a very positive experience.”
“We asked them to replace a deteriorating concrete block wall (which we never liked) with a wall of large natural boulders and, if they could, preserve some mature evergreens in the process, and they exceeded expectations. The outcome is beautiful and timeless.”
Six stages, and you approve before the money moves.
Consultation
A designer walks the property with you, listens to how you actually want to use the space, and flags anything structural — drainage, grade, access — before ideas get expensive.
Site analysis
Soil, sun, drainage, slope, utilities, and existing plant health. This is the stage that separates a design that works from a design that only looks good on paper.
Design
Plan drawings and material selection, with a cost range attached before anyone commits to a full construction set. You see what you’re buying.
Your review
You mark it up. We revise. Nothing gets ordered or scheduled until the plan and the number both have your signature on them.
Installation
Our crews, our equipment. Base photos before anything gets covered, site cleaned to working condition every evening, and a firm end date.
Walkthrough & warranty
We walk the finished work with you, show you how to care for it, and hand over the warranty. Then we’re available for the maintenance if you want it.
