We had Ostvig remove 2 trees right after Christmas. We have been using Ostivg for a couple of years now on the recommendation of a friend. They know what they are doing, send enough crew to finish the job properly, they are respectful of our property and the neighboring properties. The cost is fair and when you call, they are very responsive, they usually get back to you the same day. I highly recommend Ostvig Tree Care.

Our experience with everyone at Ostvig has been outstanding. Very communicative, responds quickly, arrives when they say they will, work is efficient & cleanly done. I would highly recommend this company. Had them out twice in the fall 2025 times help trim our overgrown trees and remove one dying tree and another unsightly tree.

We had a large dead tree taken down with stump grinding and several other trees trimmed. The cost was reasonable, the crew were professional and courteous. Monte, Tony and Sam all did a great job. I definitely recommend their work and I will be delighted to work with them in the future.

Ostvig Tree Care did great work. We had 5 trees worked on, including 2 that were hard to get to given a slope and surrounding overgrowth. The crew was: Aaron A, Cole W, Kilian W, and Tyler N. and Justin Kraig. They hauled all of the debris away and made sure we were happy with results. Top notch team!
Thanks again!

Had Ostvig Tree Care out to trim several trees, and we’re super happy with the results. They arrived exactly when they said they would and completed everything as expected. The best part? They left our yard spotless—no stray branches, no debris, just beautifully shaped trees. You can tell they take pride in their work and care about doing things right. Definitely recommend!

Great service all around. Monte was very helpful during his visit for an estimate, making sure he understood the work to be done and even offering suggestions for how to deal with a problematic tree that was not a part of the trimming estimate. The day of the scheculed trimming the crew arrived promptly and worked quickly with minimal disruption of our lawn ornaments, etc., and cleaned all the areas up completely.

We have used Ostvig Tree Care several times to have trees and stumps removed, and each time we have been very pleased with their service! Their teams are professional, courteous, fast, and always do a Great Job! And they always leave the yard cleaned up, and take great care to watch out for other trees/bushes in the yard. I can't say enough good things about Ostvig. They're AWESOME!

Hard working and careful workers. I I was very pleased with how carefully the two man crew removed two mature deceased ash trees, including the stump and roots. They even took the time to put back up the chain link fence. I had taken it down before they arrived and didn’t have to even ask them to help me put it back up, stretch it and bolt it back in place.

I needed a major project done, as I had a large ash tree (over 60” wide) that was unfortunately infected by the emerald ash borer. I also needed our very large oak trees pruned. After several meetings with various companies I chose to work with Ostvig, and am so pleased I did. Russ was very attentive and easy to work with. His crew came out and was able to tackle this massive project in under 2 days. His crew worked so hard and were extremely professional—they blew me away! Everything was cleaned up and the guys were very courteous while they worked. No doubt, I will continue to use Ostvig in the future for all my tree projects! Thanks!!

Our very large cottonwood tree needed to be taken down as large branches were falling off in the high winds. (size 19 feet round base and 80 feet tall) The operation took 2 days with 2 major pieces of equipment and NO climbers. There was NO damage to either house, excellent cleanup, on site mulching and four truck loads to remove large branches and base. The staff were excellent and answered all questions and were very caring. I asked them to leave some mulch for my garden which they did. All round an outstanding job.

Russ was quick to give us a bid we found extremely reasonable for the work requested - removal of one full tree & a dead trunk, and trimming back of limbs and boughs from the roof line. After we got things arranged, the crew arrived undaunted by a really cold day, and did quick, clean and efficient work. Super pleased with Ostvig.

We have used Ostvig 5 times over the years at two different homes, for everything from tree removal to trimming high branches and cabling limbs. We have always worked with their arborist Jon who is wonderful to work with. He explains everything, really looks at what makes sense for you trees and property, is timely with communication and all work has been excellent and professional. Will always use Ostvig for our tree needs.

Upon arrival, we talked through the quote once more to ensure expectations were clear, then the crew got to work. The work was thorough, yet quick - and the whole team helped with clean-up. We were blown away and very pleased. When we received our invoice, the amount was spot-on with the quote we received and we happily sent a check the same day. Thank you!

I had a great experience with Ostvig Tree. They removed 2 very large deceased ash trees and ground the stumps. They were meticulous in prepping my yard so the heavy equipment did not damage anything, they completely cleaned up every last twig, and they ground the stumps to nothing and even spread the mulch throughout my flower beds. They fully took care of permitting and coordinating with the power company to temporarily remove a nearby power line. Fully professional from start to finish. I'll be returning for all my future needs.

I had a dual stem Ash that had ash bore disease that had to go. Ostvig was one of the services recommended by my City Forester and was the one that had the best bid. They came on time and got down to business to take them down efficiently. They spent time cleaning up afterward and were very courteous. I appreciate that they hauled away the debris instead of grinding it up by the curb which makes a god-awful racket like another service did for a neighbor.
I would definitely call them again with any other tree issue.

I am very pleased with the work that they did and can’t wait to see what the trees will look like this summer. We had not had any tree trimming done for years. They came out for a free estimate, the price was reasonable and their service was prompt and very professional.

I would highly recommend Ostvig Tree Care to anyone within the metro looking for tree service. Monte had great communication on when he would arrive for the assessment, and had a quick proposal to me within a week. Their proposal was a great value and thousands cheaper than other bids. They arrived on the specified date months later and did a wonderful job.

These folks were prompt, responsive, and chipper (no pun intended). I needed to remove to willow trunks that have been dying for years. I had reached out to a couple other tree removal services, and after giving them my address, they never got back to me. Ostvig had my nuisance trees cleaned up in 3 days time. Will be using them for future services. They will be happy to know, next time it won't be below freezing. 😉

I can't say enough good things about Ostvig Tree Care. We have a 100-year-old silver maple that was in need of some major pruning. The Ostvig team was highly professional and throughout the process, from providing a detailed and fair estimate to completing the job to cleaning up when finished. Go with Ostvig, you'll be satisfied!

Monte gave us a very reasonable estimate for cutting down 2 trees, grinding the stumps to grade level and haul away all the debris. He also quoted a very good price for the treatment of two other trees that will happen in the spring. The two gentlemen that did the job were friendly, professional, efficient and safe. The whole job was about 5 hours. Very happy with Otsvig Tree Care and we highly recommend their fast, affordable, friendly service.

Ostvig Tree Care was a pleasure to work with, and specifically Monte. Communication for scheduling our trees to be removed including the stumps and debris removal, was excellent, Monte responded quickly to all emails. The crews did an excellent job at both cutting down the trees/stump removal and clean up.
Very competitive pricing and will recommend Ostvig to anyone inquiring about their tree removal or trimming. I contacted our New Brighton forester and let him know the excellent service provided by Ostvig.

We needed three tall trees taken out behind our new house, preferably before our sod was to be laid in the fall. We chose Ostvig because of their long history in the area, and a visit to their site indicated they were a very professional business with more than adequate equipment. Ostvig's Arborist came to assess our job and showed us why it would be better to remove one of the trees the city told us we couldn't cut down, and leave one we'd planned on having removed. We'd been told we absolutely could not remove trees marked to be saved, but Ostvig's arborist did all negotiations with the city, who did grant permission based on his professional recommendation. They scheduled a crew for a full day's work to remove three very tall trees, grind out several large stumps, and clean up. The arborist came with the crew to explain to them and us what he wanted done, they had amazing equipment to work in our small back yard, ground out several large stumps we hadn't been able to dig out, finished our job in half the allotted time, and our final bill was cut substantially from their original estimate due to less-than-expected labor hours ! Very professional, honest and friendly. We now see why the Arborist made his recommendation, as we have three well spaced, fairly tall trees that started branching out better the very next summer (of 2019).

They left me impressed and with no regrets; good men, every one.

On the same trip, they trimmed a number of other trees well and cleaned up thoroughly.

Japanese Beetles in Minnesota: Still a Threat in 2026
If you live in the Twin Cities, you’ve likely seen them—shiny green-and-copper beetles munching away on leaves in mid-summer. These are Japanese beetles, and while they’ve been in Minnesota for decades, they’re still one of the most damaging pests to trees, shrubs, and lawns.
A Tree Killer is on the Loose
Oak wilt is a deadly disease spreading quickly across the Twin Cities, carried by sap beetles and underground root connections. The best defense? Pruning oaks only in fall and winter, when it’s safe, and getting your trees inspected for other threats like borers. If your oak leaves look yellow, scorched, or your tree seems weaker than usual, it’s time to act. Be proactive—schedule pruning and an inspection with Ostvig Tree Care to protect your oaks before it’s too late.
