Some suggestions by residents:

  • Dorothy Pedersen and Gary Kiecker recommend SavaTree for treatments. Please contact Curtis Frandrup (952-881-3779) or Scott Anderson (612-716-6596) at SavaTree for information on their treatment plans.
  • Residents of Silver Lake are discussing a joint plan for treatment. If we can get over 300 inches of diameter treatments, the cost will drop from $10 per inch to $7.50 per inch. Please contact Dorothy, if you are interested in participating in a joint plan.
