Trees in a forest habitat receive natural fertilization as leaves, twigs, and other organic materials decompose, but trees in a groomed or landscaped setting need special attention. Every tree has unique nutritional needs, based on health, location, soil content, and other factors. Fertilization provides the right nutrients at the right time for abundant growth and longevity. Keep your trees healthy and vibrant and protect against insects and diseases with fertilization from JB Tree Care & Landscaping. We’ll complete a thorough analysis of your property and your trees, and then develop a customized fertilization plan utilizing deep root or granule fertilizers.

- CBCatherine BahlsJun 26, 20265.0Very professional, hardworking crew, and impeccable cleanup! Would highly recommend any time.
- SLScott LJun 26, 20265.0I contacted JB Tree through their web page and had a response from Josh within 2 hours. He came out for an estimate an hour later , said he could do the work right now and 2 trees were removed along with trimming dead wood from another. Everything was cleaned up as if they were never there. Josh quoted me $1000 less than a competitor for the same work. Quick response, very nice work, honest great guy—would highly recommend JB Tree in Waconia MN and will use him again in the fall.
- ACAlexa ChapinJun 25, 20265.0The folks at JB Tree Care were amazing! They were super efficient and did exactly what they promised in record time. In addition, they made sure to clean up every last branch and leaf as they left. Highly recommend!
- CPChristian PetersonJun 24, 20265.0Excellent next day service for a very fair and reasonable price. Very knowledgeable with trees and even gave me recommendations for other plants that were affected by my downed tree.
- BWBarb WolnerJun 19, 20265.0Used JB Tree services for the 2nd time. A very reliable, prompt, experienced company. Josh has given me instructions on treating ash trees, and on how trees should be trimmed. Always listening, and doing what customer wants! Crew all work well together, while being respectful of our property. Excellent results, and clean-up was awesome! Highly recommend JBTree Care for any tree service you need!
Frequently Asked Questions About JB Tree Care & Landscaping
Why is Buckthorn Removal Important?
If left unchecked, buckthorn trees can quickly spread and take over large areas of land, choking out native vegetation and reducing biodiversity. They can also alter soil conditions and increase erosion, leading to further environmental damage.
Additionally, buckthorn trees can be unsightly and detract from the natural beauty of your property. Getting rid of them properly helps improve the look and overall value of your property.
Why is Emerald Ash Borer Tree Removal Important?
Once EAB has attacked a tree, the tree usually dies within four years, but it can die in as little as two. If infested trees are not promptly treated or removed, the pest will quickly kill all ash trees in the area.
Removing a tree while it is still alive is easier and less expensive than removing a tree already killed by EAB, which quickly dries out and becomes brittle. Dead branches can easily crack and fall, posing a danger to people and your property.
Does My Ash Tree Have Emerald Ash Borer?
Trees affected by EAB display recognizable symptoms. Know the signs:
S-shaped tunnels beneath the bark
Vertical bark splits
Woodpecker activity
Use this diagnostic guide to determine whether your tree has been attacked by EAB. Ash trees are especially common in the following cities:
Waconia
Shakopee
St. Bonifacius
Norwood Young America
When Should I Trim and Prune My Trees?
Oak trees should not be trimmed between April and October to avoid the spread of oak wilt disease. If an oak tree is wounded or pruned during this time, wound dressing or latex paint should be applied to mask the odor of freshly cut wood, which attracts the beetles that spread oak wilt disease.
Apple trees, flowering crabapple trees, Mountain Ash, and Hawthorns should also be pruned in late winter to avoid the infection and spread of fireblight, a bacterial disease, as well as drying and die-back.
How do I know if my trees need fertilization?
Look for signs like stunted growth, yellowing leaves (chlorosis), or smaller-than-average leaf size. Our certified arborists can test your soil to determine exactly which nutrients are missing to restore your tree's health.
What is deep root fertilization?
Deep root fertilization involves injecting a high-quality nutrient blend directly into the soil near the root zone. This ensures the tree gets the nutrients it needs without the grass or weeds absorbing them first.
When is the best time to fertilize trees in Minnesota?
Early spring (before leaf flushing) and late fall (after the leaves drop) are the ideal times. Fall fertilization is particularly effective for helping roots survive the harsh Twin Cities winters.
Is tree fertilizer safe for my pets and family?
We recommend keeping pets and children off fertilized areas for at least 24 hours. We can provide more health and safety information during your service appointment.
How often should I have my trees fertilized?
Most mature trees benefit from a professional fertilization once a year, while younger or stressed trees may require more frequent attention to establish a strong root system.
Why is professional tree pruning necessary?
Pruning isn't just for looks; it removes dead or diseased wood, improves airflow, and prevents safety hazards. Proper cuts by an arborist prevent the spread of diseases like Oak Wilt.
When should I prune my oak trees?
In Minnesota, avoid pruning oaks between April and July to prevent the spread of Oak Wilt. The best time is during the winter months when the trees are dormant.
What is the difference between pruning and trimming?
While often used interchangeably, “pruning” usually refers to the health and structural integrity of the tree, while “trimming” is often focused on aesthetics and shape.
Can I prune my own large trees?
Small shrubs are fine for DIY, but large tree pruning requires specialized climbing gear and an understanding of tree biology. Improper cuts can permanently damage or kill a tree.
Does pruning help trees grow faster?
Pruning doesn't necessarily speed up growth, but it redirects the tree's energy to the healthiest branches, leading to a stronger, more vigorous tree over time.
Why is buckthorn considered an invasive species?
European buckthorn grows aggressively, choking out native plants and disrupting the local ecosystem. It also serves as a host for pests like soybean aphids.
How do you ensure buckthorn doesn't grow back?
Simply cutting it isn't enough. We treat the remaining stumps with a professional-grade herbicide to kill the root system and prevent regrowth.
What is the best time of year for buckthorn removal?
Late fall or early winter is ideal because buckthorn stays green longer than native plants, making it easy to identify and remove without damaging surrounding vegetation.
Can I clear buckthorn myself?
You can, but it is labor-intensive and often unsuccessful without the right chemical treatments. Our team has the equipment to clear large areas quickly and effectively.
Will removing buckthorn damage my other trees?
No. In fact, removing buckthorn typically improves the health of your desirable trees by reducing competition for water, light, and nutrients.
Do I need a permit for tree removal in the Twin Cities?
Permit requirements vary by city. Many cities require permits for removing large, healthy, shoreline, or protected trees. We can help you determine if your project requires local government approval before we begin.
How much does it cost to clear a lot?
Pricing depends on the acreage, the density of the vegetation, and the size of the trees being removed. We provide free, on-site estimates for all clearing projects.
Can you clear land for a new home construction?
Yes. We work closely with builders and homeowners to clear building pads, driveways, and septic areas while preserving the trees you want to keep for your new landscape.
Is tree removal dangerous for my property?
Our team uses specialized rigging and cranes to ensure trees are removed safely, even in tight spaces near homes or power lines.
What do you do with the wood after a tree is removed?
We can haul it away entirely, or if you prefer, we can chip it into mulch for your landscaping or cut it into firewood for you to keep.
What is the difference between stump removal and stump grinding?
Stump removal involves pulling the entire root ball out (often disruptive to the yard), while grinding uses a machine to chew the stump into small chips below the soil surface.
How deep do you grind the stumps?
We typically grind 6 to 12 inches below the surface, which is deep enough to allow for topsoil and grass seed to be planted over the area.
What happens to the wood chips after grinding?
The grinding process creates a mix of wood chips and soil. This can be used as mulch, or we can haul it away.
Can I plant a new tree where a stump was ground?
It’s best to plant a few feet away from the old spot to avoid the old root mass. If you must plant in the same spot, we recommend additional soil preparation.
Will stump grinding kill the roots?
For most species, yes. However, some tree roots may sprout small shoots. We can advise if a chemical treatment is needed for specific types of trees.
What services are included in large property management?
We provide comprehensive care including hazard tree assessment, invasive species control, pruning, and trimming.
Do you offer commercial tree maintenance contracts?
Yes. We work with HOAs, corporate campuses, and apartment complexes to provide year-round maintenance and emergency storm response.
How do you handle storm damage on large properties?
We offer priority service for our contract clients, quickly clearing downed trees from roads, fences, and structures following heavy storms.
Can you help reduce the property tax on my wooded lot?
While we are not tax professionals, maintaining a forest management plan with a certified arborist can sometimes help properties qualify for agricultural or conservation programs.
How often should a large property be surveyed for tree health?
We recommend a professional walkthrough at least once a year to catch disease or pest infestations before they spread to the rest of your trees.
What is canopy thinning?
Canopy thinning is the removal of select branches to increase light penetration and air movement. This improves the health of the tree and helps protect it from storm damage.
Why are my lower branches dying?
This is often due to a lack of sunlight reaching the lower canopy. Trimming the upper canopy can help light reach the bottom, keeping the whole tree healthy.
Will canopy trimming improve the grass growing under my tree?
Yes. By thinning the canopy, more sunlight reaches the ground, which significantly improves the health and thickness of the grass beneath the tree.
How much of the canopy can be removed at once?
A general rule is never to remove more than 25% of a tree's living canopy in a single season to avoid stressing the tree.
When is the best time for canopy trimming?
Late winter or early spring is best for most species, as it allows the tree to heal quickly during the upcoming growing season.
Why is Emerald Ash Borer Tree Removal Important in Minnesota?
Once EAB has attacked a tree, the tree usually dies within four years, but it can die in as little as two. If infested trees are not promptly treated or removed, the pest will quickly kill all ash trees in the area.
Removing a tree while it is still alive is easier and less expensive than removing a tree already killed by EAB, which quickly dries out and becomes brittle. Dead branches can easily crack and fall, posing a danger to people and your property.
How can I tell if my tree has Emerald Ash Borer (EAB)?
Look for S-shaped tunnels under the bark, D-shaped exit holes, and thinning at the very top of the tree. If you see woodpeckers heavily targeting an ash tree, it's a major red flag.
Can an EAB-infested tree be saved?
If the infestation is caught early, typically before the tree has lost 30% of its canopy, trunk injections can often save the tree. If the damage is more extensive, removal is usually the only option.
Why is it important to remove infested ash trees quickly?
Ash trees become extremely brittle very quickly once they die from EAB. This makes them dangerous to climb and more expensive to remove the longer you wait.
How do you dispose of EAB-infested wood?
We follow all Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) quarantine guidelines, ensuring that infested wood is not moved into non-quarantine areas to prevent further spread.
What should I plant to replace my ash tree?
We recommend a diverse variety of species like maples, birches, and oaks to ensure your landscape isn't wiped out by a single future pest or disease.

Buckthorn can spread quickly, choking out native plants, reducing biodiversity, altering soil, increasing erosion, and detracting from your property's appearance and value. Proper removal improves the environmental health and aesthetics of your property.
What should I know about Emerald Ash Borer and tree removal?
Emerald Ash Borer infestation kills ash trees within 2 to 4 years. Removing infested trees early is easier and safer than removing dead, brittle trees, which pose hazards with falling branches.
When is the best time to trim and prune my trees?
