Emerald ash borer was confirmed in Waukesha in 2012, and the city has been fighting it ever since. As of December 2021, the city reported that it continues to treat 3,500 trees and has removed 3,000 street trees because of the insect.
If that many street trees were lost, there is a good chance the ash trees on your own property are at risk. We can inspect them, tell you which are worth treating, and remove those that are past saving before they become hazards.
The City of Waukesha Forestry Division maintains the trees in public rights-of-way, which it calls street trees, along with all the trees in city parks. If a tree stands between the sidewalk and the street or in a park, call Forestry at (262) 524-3500 rather than a private contractor.
If the tree stands on your own lot, it is yours to care for, and that is where we come in.
Dead ash wood becomes brittle fast, so standing dead ash is a hazard.
Storms can split trunks and tear limbs from healthy trees.
Fungus, hollow trunks, and deadwood signal structural failure.
Trees too close to homes, garages, and lines are best removed on your schedule.
We inspect the tree and give you a clear, free quote.
We decide whether the tree can be felled whole or must be lowered in pieces.
Climbers or the 50 ft. bucket truck do the work.
Brush is chipped and wood is hauled away. Stump grinding is optional.
We recommend removal only when it is the right call. If your tree can be saved with pruning or treatment, we will tell you so.
Yes. Emergency service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Trees in the right-of-way between the sidewalk and the street are city street trees. Check with city Forestry if you are unsure.
Yes, with clean-up.
