Large Tree Removal Burnsville, MN
The Bigger the Tree, the More It Matters Who You Call
Removing a large tree is a fundamentally different job than removing a small one. The weight, the height, the rigging required, and the risk to surrounding structures all scale up significantly.
Perfect Landscape Tree & Services Inc performs large tree removal in Burnsville, MN and throughout the south metro with the crew and equipment these jobs actually require.

What Makes Large Tree Removal Different
Large tree removal isn’t standard removal scaled up — it’s a different category of work. Three factors set it apart.
Weight
A large tree produces sections that can weigh hundreds of pounds each. Every cut has to be calculated — where it falls, whether it needs to be rigged and lowered, and what’s underneath it.
Access
Many large trees on south metro residential lots are in backyards with no room for heavy machinery. When equipment can’t get in, the crew relies on climbing, hand rigging, and controlled lowering.
Time
A job that looks manageable from the street can easily be a full-day project once you account for the height, the access, and the volume of material to process and remove.
Large Trees We Commonly Remove in the South Metro
Each tree species presents its own removal challenges. These are the ones we work with most often in Burnsville and the surrounding communities.
Cottonwood
Cottonwoods grow fast, which means the wood is soft and prone to internal decay that isn’t visible from the outside. That changes how it can be safely cut and rigged.
Silver Maple
Silver maples frequently develop codominant stems, creating a structural weak point that can fall under storm load or with age. This is one of the most common large tree jobs we handle.
Oak
Mature oaks are heavy, dense, and unforgiving. Large oaks over structures often warrant crane removal rather than standard sectioning.
Green Ash
Emerald ash borer has killed a large portion of Minnesota’s ash population. Dead ash loses structural integrity fast and requires extra caution throughout removal.
Norway Pine and Other Conifers
Large conifers hold their needles year-round and catch wind differently than deciduous trees. A leaning pine or spruce near a structure requires careful rigging.
Reasons Homeowners Remove Large Trees
Large trees come down for many reasons. These are the most common situations we hear from homeowners across Burnsville and the south metro.
Tight Yards and Limited Access
One of the most common questions before a large tree estimate is: how do you get equipment back there?
When heavy machinery can’t cross the yard, the crew works by hand — climbing, rigging, and lowering sections in a controlled sequence.
In cases where the tree is also directly over a structure, a crane lifts sections straight up and out rather than through a tight gap.
We assess every job individually and recommend the right approach for that specific site.
When a Crane Is the Right Call
Not every large tree needs a crane, but avoiding one when the situation calls for it is where property damage happens.
A large oak over a garage, a cottonwood canopy extending over a neighbor’s fence, or a silver maple growing through a deck overhang — these jobs need sections lifted out, not lowered through.
We’ll tell you during the estimate whether a crane is genuinely necessary or whether standard removal is appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does large tree removal cost in Burnsville, MN?
It depends on the tree’s height, species, access, and whether crane removal is needed. There’s no honest number without seeing the tree in person.
We offer free on-site estimates — call (612) 499-3938 to schedule one.
Can you remove a large tree without damaging my lawn?
Yes, with the right approach. When equipment can’t access the site, we work by hand and rig sections down rather than dropping them.
We take the surrounding property seriously and plan the job around what’s on the ground.
Is a dead large tree harder to remove?
Usually, yes. Dead wood is more brittle, more unpredictable under a saw, and can have internal decay that isn’t visible from the outside.
A dead tree that’s been standing for more than a season may have compromised limb attachment points, which changes how it’s rigged and sectioned.
How long does large tree removal take?
A straightforward large tree with good access can be done in half a day. A constrained backyard or a crane job may take a full day or more.
We give you a realistic time estimate when we come out to assess.
What’s the best time of year to remove a large tree?
Winter is often ideal — frozen ground protects the lawn, the leafless canopy is easier to work through, and scheduling tends to be more flexible.
That said, if the tree is a hazard, the right time is now. Waiting for the right season doesn’t reduce the risk.
