About Us

About Monkey At Desk Primate Tree Care is a living American dream. We started this company with almost nothing and built it into a fully equipped, fully insured powerhouse. We sold almost everything we owned to buy a meager set of gear, and by working from 7am to midnight, six to seven days a week for years, we made it happen.

With all this sacrifice, we tend to take the quality of our work and the satisfaction of our customers very seriously. We are very proud of Primate Tree Care and it shows in every job we do.

As an ISA certified arborist, you can rely on co-owner Justin Lovro to properly identify the needs of your trees, and recommend options that are backed by science and industry standards.

Primate Tree Care provides professional tree trimming, tree removal, and plant health care across the eastern twin cities and beyond. We specialize in difficult and dangerous removals, but are happy to take care of your smaller projects as well.

We also have extensive experience with disaster relief and complex storm damage of every kind. We work directly with insurance companies to help get you the coverage you paid for and deserve.

Primate Tree Care focuses exclusively on tree care, and does not perform landscaping or any other trade. We take pride in being continually educated on the most effective tree care methods known to the industry, attending conferences, classes and seminars here and across the country.

With recent work performed all over the east metro, local references are always available, often down the street. Primate Tree Care is happy to be based in lovely Afton, MN. However we do consider the twin cities, Minnesota, and America our home. No matter where you live, Primate Tree Care will treat you like our neighbor.

We look forward to working with you very soon! Thanks!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide a full clean-up?

Absolutely! Including raking all twigs and leaf blowing surfaces. If you want to keep the firewood that’s fine too, or maybe the whole mess! However you want the debris handled, Primate Tree Care will get it done any way you like.

Do you grind stumps?

Yes, we can get your stumps taken care of as well. Big ones, small ones, new ones, old ones, tall ones, short ones, stumps in tight spaces and wide open fields. Primate Tree Care won’t leave you with an unwanted stump!

Do I have to be there for the job or estimate?

Absolutely not. While it can be nice to be present for jobs and estimates, life and schedules don’t always allow that. By working with the dedicated professionals at Primate Tree Care, you can trust in clear communication when estimating and scheduling the job, as well as skilled experts who take no less pride in their work just because the homeowner isn’t watching.

Can I pay by credit Card?

Yes, Primate Tree Care can accept all credit cards and take ACH payments quickly and easily with a link right from your invoice.

Do we need to get a lift into my back yard?

A majority of the time, no we don’t. While we do utilize portable lifts in certain circumstances, the safest and most efficient machines are cranes which operate from driveways, roads, and sometimes front yards. If that isn’t possible or unnecessary, our expert tree climbers get the job done without taking fences apart and running everything over with a large machine.
