Elm Tree Removal

A natural way to take down invasive elms

Siberian elms spread fast and crowd out the plants you actually want. We cut them back and inoculate the wood with elm-eating mushrooms that slow regrowth and kill the tree naturally, without herbicides.

What you get

Cutting back overgrown, invasive elm trees on your property
Inoculation of cut wood with elm-eating mushroom spawn
A chemical-free approach that works with fungi already suited to breaking elm down
Fewer elms competing with your garden, orchard, or pasture over time

How it works

We assess your elms

Size, number, and how established they are.

We cut back the growth

Removing limbs and trunks as needed, and haul them out.

We inoculate the wood

Elm-eating mushroom spawn goes into the cut surfaces.

Nature takes over

The fungi colonize the wood over the following seasons, slowing regrowth and eventually killing the tree.

Pricing

Sliding scale, like everything we do.

Priced on our sliding scale, based on the size and number of trees.

This is a natural process that works over multiple seasons, and some trees may need a repeat treatment.
