Removing the largest tree in Blue Earth, MN
A severe thunderstorm hit Blue Earth, MN in the summer of 2018 and caused damage throughout the town, but the damage hit closer to home for one particular resident and also one famous arboreal resident. The largest tree (cottonwood) in Blue Earth was struck by lightning causing an explosion along its trunk and sounding "like a bomb blast." The giant tree was estimated to be over 100-feet tall and over 100-years old.
Winter shoreline restoration
Lake shores erode over time and can cause all manner of problems, whether it's for docks, boathouses, shoreline trees, or anything else. Thate's Tree Service can rip rap your shoreline to armor it against scour or water/ice erosion. Rip rap services don't only protect your shoreline investments and local environment, but they can greatly improve your "shoreline appeal."

What is emerald ash borer?
Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an invasive insect that kills ash trees. It entered North America in 2002 and has killed over 100 million trees. The challenge is that the insect cannot be eradicated or contained, but it can be managed.
