About Us

Northern Arborists have a History With Trees

We love trees!

Northern Arborists is a second generation family business, started by Gary Wemeier in 1980. He is one of the first arborists to be ISA Certified in Minnesota and is still involved in the business. Our home base is in Lake Elmo, and we provide year-round service to residential properties within the Twin Cities, the St. Croix River Valley and neighboring areas.  From small city lots to large rural properties, we have a keen eye for maximizing and adding to the natural beauty and health of your landscape now and over the years.


Our goal is to promote and educate our customers in responsible and quality tree care, and plan for ongoing relationships with our clients. In this way, we can provide continuous tree care to ensure lasting health and beauty for your trees. 


When choosing Northern Arborists, you can expect professional services from qualified and caring staff. Our staff attend workshops, seminars, and conferences regularly to stay current in best arboricultural practices and techniques, and most are ISA Certified. We follow ANSI A300 Pruning Standards and ANSI Z1331.1 Safety Standards. We are fully licensed and insured.
