We Understand Your Orono Trees
Orono sits at the heart of one of Minnesota's most densely wooded communities. Your property likely features mature oak forests, towering sugar maples, and expansive canopies that define the Lake Minnetonka North Shore landscape. These are the trees that make your home valuable and beautiful, but they also need the right care to stay healthy.
Since 1933, Ostvig Tree Care has served Orono families with the expertise and equipment to handle everything from routine pruning to complex disease prevention on high-value properties. We understand the unique challenges your trees face in this environment, and we know what it takes to keep them thriving for generations.
Tree Services We Offer in Orono
Whether your trees need routine maintenance or specialized disease prevention, Ostvig provides the full range of professional tree care Orono homeowners rely on. Each service is tailored to your property's unique needs and the Lake Minnetonka environment.
Tree & Shrub Pruning
Keep your trees healthy and beautiful with professional pruning. From routine maintenance pruning to selective crown thinning for improved views, we work carefully to enhance your property while protecting tree health. Winter is ideal for pruning oaks and high-value species.
Tree & Shrub Removal
Sometimes removal is the safest option. We handle removals of all sizes with precision and care, protecting your property from damage. Every tree removal in Orono requires a city permit, and we manage the entire process for you, including coordination with the city arborist.
Pest & Disease Treatment
Prevent disease before it takes hold. Our Plant Health Care program includes pest prevention and disease treatment that is tailored to your property's needs. PHC is especially important in Orono, where oak wilt and emerald ash borer pose ongoing threats.
Fertilization
Healthy trees start with strong roots. Our fertilization programs are customized to address nutrient deficiencies specific to your soil and tree species. Regular feeding keeps your trees resilient against stress, disease, and pests.
Commercial Tree Care
If you own or manage commercial property in Orono, we provide specialized tree care for offices, multifamily properties, and other commercial landscapes.

Protect Your Trees From Oak Wilt & Emerald Ash Borer
Orono homeowners face two major tree health crises. Oak wilt spreads through sap beetles during the warm months (June through August) and can wipe out entire groves of oaks. Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is destroying ash trees across Minnesota. Both threats demand early action, respond to treatment, and will get worse if ignored.
Our seven ISA Certified Arborists can evaluate your property, identify which trees are at risk, and recommend a treatment plan designed for your specific situation. Early detection and prevention cost far less than managing a full-blown infestation. Our arborists can identify problems before they become irreversible.
Why Choose Ostvig for Your Orono Trees?
The right tree care company should make the process easier—not more complicated. From permits to cleanup, here's why Orono homeowners trust Ostvig.
We Know Orono
Our team has deep roots in this community. Our founder grew up here and attended Orono Public Schools. We understand what makes this area special and the specific challenges your trees face. From the heavily wooded neighborhoods to the premium properties along the shoreline, we've cared for Orono trees for decades.
We Work Directly with the City
Every tree removal in Orono requires a city permit. We have longstanding working relationships with the city arborist and understand the local permitting process. Our team handles the paperwork, coordinates with the city when needed, and helps move your project forward without unnecessary delays or confusion.
The Most Mechanized Tree Service in the Area
Approximately 80 percent of our work is completed using mechanized equipment, including our grapple saw crane (knuckleboom), bucket trucks, and specialty lifts. This allows us to complete many jobs faster, safer, and with less impact on lawns, gardens, driveways, and surrounding trees than traditional climbing methods alone.
Seven Certified Arborists on Staff
With seven ISA Certified Arborists on staff and TCIA accreditation, you'll benefit from the expertise of a knowledgeable, experienced team. Our crews are backed by ongoing training and decades of experience caring for Minnesota trees.
Trusted With Some of Orono's Most Valuable Landscapes
Working on estate properties requires more than tree expertise. It requires careful planning, precision, and respect for every part of the landscape. Our crews are experienced working around mature gardens, stonework, lakefront landscaping, and other high-value features where minimizing disturbance is just as important as caring for the trees.
Why We Love Orono
Orono is a community unlike any other in the Twin Cities. Without a downtown of its own, the city remains residential and deeply connected to nature.
You'll find Big Island Nature Park with hiking trails, landmarks like Lord Fletcher's and the Lafayette Club, and the Minnetonka Center for the Arts, bringing cultural events to the area. Boating, fishing, and sailing on Lake Minnetonka define summer for many families here.
The mature oaks, sugar maples, and mixed canopy are what make this place home. Whether you're drawn to Minnetonka Beach and Spring Park along the shoreline, or the wooded neighborhoods along Old Crystal Bay Road and North Shore Drive, your property's trees are central to its value and character.
Serving Orono & the Lake Minnetonka North Shore
Ostvig Tree Care is based in Wayzata and proudly serves Orono and the surrounding Lake Minnetonka communities, including Woodland, Deephaven, Excelsior, and Minnetonka. From premium lakefront properties to wooded residential neighborhoods, we handle every type of tree care work across our service area.
We're committed to being your local tree care partner—here when you need us and invested in keeping your trees and property healthy for years to come.
