Protecting Tree With Trusted Local Expertise
South Lake Ash Shield helps homeowners protect valuable ash trees from the growing threat of Emerald Ash Borer throughout the West Metro and Central Minnesota. Emerald Ash Borer can damage a tree from beneath the bark long before obvious symptoms appear, which is why early evaluation and preventative treatment are so important. Our goal is to help healthy ash trees withstand the outbreak, preserve property value, reduce future removal costs, and keep landscapes safer for families, homes, and surrounding structures.
Led by owner Erik Lemke, South Lake Ash Shield brings trusted horticultural knowledge and practical tree care experience to every property we visit. Erik is a University of Minnesota Horticultural Department graduate with years of experience as a golf course superintendent and senior gardener at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. Fully insured and licensed through the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, we provide honest evaluations, professional pesticide injections, and clear recommendations to help homeowners make confident decisions about protecting their ash trees.
