Keeping trees safe, healthy and beautiful takes a lot of work. Years of extensive training are required before you can do that work safely. Fortunately, taking care of your trees is also the best kind of work: it is work you don’t have to do. Just have A + A Tree & Landscaping do it instead!
“I’m a tree nerd. Self-studied. Self-taught.” said Aaron Athmann, owner of A + A Tree & Landscaping. “I learned most of what I know on the job, just like the rest of our team. My brother Brad, who has been in the industry since he was 13 years old, is one of our crew leads. He went from knocking on doors to becoming one of the best climbers I’ve ever met in my life. There’s also John Sheehy, another of our crew leads, who brings even more of the experience we need to handle any job quickly.
“The largest project we’ve completed so far was an emerald ash borer (EAB) infestation. We removed 87 ash trees from an apartment complex in a total of seven days. Unfortunately, the invasive beetle will continue to be one of our biggest focuses for quite some time. If a city tree inspector discovers EAB living in your ash trees, you’ll only have so many days to contract a tree removal service. Afterward, you can be penalized.”
EAB is one of dozens of tree problems Aaron’s team can identify on sight. When they encounter something truly unusual, they send a sample to a lab for a formal diagnosis. “Once we know what we’re dealing with, we’ll advise the best resolution,” said Aaron.
The resolution to many tree problems is obvious: total removal. Whether a tree is no longer desired, at imminent risk of causing property damage, or already responsible for having caused property damage, A + A Tree & Landscaping is available to solve the problem. They’ve even got the stump grinder they need to eliminate all evidence that a tree ever existed in the first place.
Ideally, you would avoid problems altogether. “Our trimming and pruning services, which promote stronger, healthier growth, are essential for trees around houses, decks, patios, driveways, garages and businesses,” said Aaron. “We can make any tree fit its location through structural, directional and reduction pruning. These practices also greatly enhance a tree’s overall aesthetics, which is why our work can appreciably increase any property’s market value.”
Engage A + A Tree & Landscaping’s routine maintenance service and you’ll never have to give a thought to your trees’ welfare again. Once the experts have assessed your trees’ needs, they’ll develop a custom maintenance schedule.
“We usually return to a property every three to five years,” said Aaron. “It all depends on its trees’ individual growth characteristics. Tailored service like that is part of the reason why we aren’t the cheapest tree climbers around. We’ve earned our reputation as one of the most experienced teams in the Twin Cities. You’re going to notice the difference if you compare our work to a contractor who gives lower quotes. I wouldn’t call it bragging. I’d call it taking pride in a job we’ve spent so many years mastering.”
