    Tree Service in Grant, MN

    Grant is not a typical suburb, and it does not have typical tree work. This is acreage country. Since 1976 the city has required an average lot size of ten acres and a minimum of five, and in 1996 Grant incorporated as a city specifically to protect that rural character. What that means for trees: instead of a single backyard maple, you are dealing with wooded acres, tree lines and windbreaks, hobby farms and horse properties, and long private drives lined with hardwoods. When a storm rolls through, it is not one branch down, it is a dozen trees across a five-acre parcel.

    That is exactly the kind of work we are built for. A Cut Above is Mike's company, and he has been clearing, removing, and caring for trees across the northeast metro and Washington County since 2000. Over twenty years in, Mike is on every estimate and every job himself. We bring the equipment and the crew to handle big, rural properties, not just city lots.

    Our Grant Tree Services

    In Grant we handle the full range of tree work, at acreage scale: tree removal, lot clearing, storm damage tree removal, tree trimming and pruning, stump grinding, broken limb removal, and cable bracing. Whether it is clearing a wooded lot for a new outbuilding, taking down hazard trees along a private drive, or cleaning up after a storm tears through a hardwood stand, we bring the right equipment, do it safely, and haul everything away.

    Why Grant Landowners Choose Us

    Rural work is different, and not every tree service is set up for it. We are. A Cut Above brings the equipment and the crew to handle five- and ten-acre properties, wooded lots, and hobby farms, not just quarter-acre city yards. Mike has worked Washington County acreage for over twenty years, so we know how to get equipment across a big parcel, work around barns and fence lines, and clear a wooded lot without wrecking the ground. Family-owned, registered with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, fully insured, and the owner is on your job. It is the same work we do next door in Mahtomedi, Dellwood, and Hugo.

    Built for Acreage and Wooded Properties

    Grant's mixed hardwood forests, remnant prairie, wetlands, and hobby farms make for beautiful property and a lot of trees to manage. Long driveways need clearance overhead. Windbreaks and tree lines need thinning. Hazard trees near barns, paddocks, and outbuildings need to come down before they cause damage. And when a storm moves through a hardwood stand, the cleanup is measured in acres, not branches. We have spent over twenty years doing exactly this kind of large-property tree work across Washington County, and we show up with the equipment to do it right.

    What Our Customers Say

    "A Cut Above did an incredible job removing two big trees in our backyard. Mike was upfront about pricing, showed up when he said he would, and the crew left the yard cleaner than they found it. Easy to recommend."

    — Jane Garrity

    "Fast response, fair price, and great work. They took down a leaning tree that was worrying us for months, ground the stump flush, and hauled everything away the same day. Very professional crew."

    — Stephanie Smigleski

    "Mike and his team were awesome. They trimmed several large trees near the house and cleaned up every last branch. Honest, hard-working people — we'll use them again for sure."

    — Alyssa K.
