Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Yes. NWI Tree Service is fully licensed and carries comprehensive liability and workers’ compensation insurance to protect you and your Taylors Falls property. We are happy to provide proof of insurance upon request, eliminating any financial risk to you.

On standard residential lots outside of protected zones, a permit is generally not required to remove dead, dying, or hazardous trees. However, because large portions of Taylors Falls fall within the St. Croix Riverway Overlay District, strict regulations govern the removal of live vegetation and trees on slopes and bluffs to prevent erosion and preserve the scenic viewshed. NWI can help evaluate your property’s specific zoning requirements before any work begins.

Absolutely. We provide free, no-obligation onsite consultations for all Taylors Falls residents with a transparent, upfront price. You will know exactly what the entire lifecycle—from removal to cleanup—will cost before you schedule service with us.

No. We use ground protection mats and specialized low-impact equipment designed for residential and sensitive shoreline yards to ensure your Taylors Falls landscape is protected. Our “Immaculate Cleanup” promise means we restore your yard to a condition cleaner than we found it, removing all debris and wood waste responsibly.

Much of the town sits on hard volcanic basalt (trap rock). Trees in these areas often develop shallow, widespread root systems because they cannot penetrate the solid bedrock. This makes them highly susceptible to windthrow (being blown over by high winds) and drought stress. We focus on structural crown thinning to minimize wind resistance and implement specialized deep-root care to keep these shallow root networks stable and healthy.

To prevent the highly destructive spread of Oak Wilt fungus, oak trees should only be pruned during their dormant season—typically from October through March. Pruning oaks between April and July is highly dangerous, as the sap-feeding beetles that carry the fungal spores are most active and drawn directly to fresh pruning cuts. If a storm causes an emergency hazard during the restricted months, the wound must be sealed immediately with specialized tree paint.
