Tree Removal

Full removals from backyard maples to 90-foot hazard pines. ISA-certified crews, rigging, and crane work when the drop zone is tight.

Dane County's mature oaks, silver maples, and emerald-ash-borer-killed ash trees eventually reach the point where removal is the safe call. From tight Madison Isthmus lots to open acreage in Waunakee and Oregon, we take trees down cleanly, protect what's around them, and haul every last piece away.

What's included

  • Climbing or bucket-truck takedown
  • Controlled rigging near structures
  • Limb chipping & wood haul-off
  • Full debris cleanup

Common reasons Dane County customers call us

  • A dead, dying, or ash-borer-infested tree that has become a hazard
  • Storm-damaged or split trees leaning toward a house, garage, or power line
  • Roots lifting a foundation, driveway, or sidewalk
  • A tree crowding the house, blocking a build, or dropping constant debris

Safety & cleanup

Every removal is planned before a saw runs: we set the drop zone, rig limbs down in controlled sections near structures, and bring in a crane when the target is tight. Crews work insured and follow ANSI felling and rigging practice, then chip, haul, and rake so the site is left clean.

Tree Removal — frequently asked questions

How much does tree removal cost in Dane County, WI?

Most residential removals in the Madison area run from the mid-hundreds for a small tree to a few thousand dollars for a large oak or pine near a structure. Price is driven by size, access, and proximity to buildings or power lines — our instant estimator gives you a real, fair number in under a minute.

Do you remove the stump too?

Stump grinding is a separate line because not everyone wants it, but we pair it with most removals. We grind 8–12 inches below grade and can backfill so you can reseed. Add it in the estimator or ask when we quote.

Can you remove a tree that is close to my house or power lines?

Yes — that is exactly what rigging and crane work are for. We section the tree down under control instead of felling it whole. For lines that are the utility drop to your home we coordinate as needed; for primary lines we have you contact the utility first.

Are you insured?

Yes. We carry liability and workers-compensation coverage, so you are never on the hook if something goes wrong on your property. Proof of insurance is available on request.
