Tree service in Lennox
Emerald ash borer was found in Lennox in 2024. For a town with mature shade trees, that starts a ten-year clock.
Lennox is a Lincoln County town of about 2,500 people southwest of Sioux Falls. The USDA Forest Service's 2024 forest health report for South Dakota says emerald ash borer was found in Lennox that year, and the state listed Lennox among communities with confirmed EAB in June 2025. The City of Sioux Falls says untreated ash in a community are typically lost within ten years of detection, so Lennox's ash are early in that window.
Early is the best time to decide. A healthy ash with a full canopy is the best candidate for treatment, and a poorly placed or already-declining ash is cheaper to remove now than after it dies and turns brittle. Our work in Lennox is ash assessments, treatment and removal, trimming, storm cleanup, stump grinding and replanting with a mix of species.

Questions from Lennox homeowners
When was EAB found in Lennox?
The USDA Forest Service reported it found in Lennox in 2024.
Should I treat my ash?
If it's healthy, in a good spot and you want to keep it, probably yes. Early in an outbreak, more trees qualify. We'll look.
How long do I have?
The City of Sioux Falls says untreated ash in a community are typically lost within ten years of detection, and an infested tree usually dies within about five years of attack.
Can I burn my ash firewood?
At home inside the quarantine, yes. Don't take it out of the quarantine counties or to state parks.
