Three steps and a number.

No forms to chase. Your estimate comes straight from our head arborist.

  1. 1

    You call, or you text a photo

    A picture of the tree and your cross street is enough to start. We take cold calls too — and if we are up a tree, leave a message and we will call you back.

  2. 2

    We survey the job

    Skylar or one of our arborists comes out, walks the tree and writes up the estimate. Usually within a few days. Can be expedited in cases of storm damage.

  3. 3

    You get the price

    One number, everything included — disposal and hauling with it. No deposit, and nothing changes after we start.

Start here — (715) 937-7873

Mon–Sat, 7am–6pm. Storm calls answered outside that.

What we do

If it involves a tree or the brush around it, ask. The answer is usually yes.

Trimming & Pruning

Limbs off the roof, the driveway and the service line. Cuts placed at the collar so the tree closes the wound instead of rotting at it.

Tree & Shrub Removal

Dead, dying, or simply in the way. Tight spots come down piece by piece on a rope. Open ground gets felled where we say it will land.

Overgrowth Restoration

Briars, vines and volunteer saplings cleared back out. Two days of work and you get a yard you recognize again.

Fence-Line Clearing

Brush and vine off the line before it lifts a post or rots a rail. Cheaper than the fence.

Storm & Emergency

Trees on cars, trees on roofs, limbs hung up over the walk. These jobs jump the line. Call, do not email.

Haul-Off & Cleanup

Included, not extra. Debris leaves on the trailer and the ground gets raked. Want the wood kept? Say so and we stack it.

Not sure which one you need? That is what the free estimate is for. Call (715) 937-7873

Questions

What will it cost?

Nobody can price a tree from a desk. Size, lean, and what is underneath it change the number completely. Call Skylar. He drives out, looks at it, and gives you a figure. That part is free and there is no pressure attached to it.

Are you insured?

Yes. General liability and workers' compensation, both current. Ask and we will email you the certificate before we start. Ask every tree crew you call for the same thing — if a man gets hurt in your yard uninsured, that lands on your homeowner's policy.

What happens to the mess?

It leaves on our trailer. Brush, limbs, chips, all of it. We rake the ground before we pull out. If you would rather keep the wood cut to length for the fireplace, say so and we will stack it instead.

My tree is huge and it leans over the house.

That is the normal job, not the scary one. Big removals come down in sections. Skylar climbs it, cuts a piece, and the piece gets roped down on a line instead of dropped. If a tree genuinely cannot come down safely the way you are picturing, he will tell you that in person, for free, before you have spent anything.

How soon can you get here?

Text a photo to (715) 937-7873 and Skylar will tell you the same day. Storm damage and anything hanging over a house or a car goes to the front of the line.

What if the tree is near a power line?

If it is within ten feet of an energized line, that is a utility job. We will tell you that instead of taking your money — call Entergy first, they do it at no charge. Everything outside that distance we handle.

Who actually shows up at my house?

Skylar, and whoever he brings to run the ground. There is no call center, no dispatcher, no subcontractor you have never spoken to. The man who quotes the job is the man in the tree.

How do I pay?

Cash, check, card or bank transfer, after the work is finished and you have looked at it. Card and bank payments run through Stripe on a real invoice. No deposit to book.

That tree is not getting smaller.

Fastest way through this is a phone call. Second fastest is a photo. The form works too, and Skylar reads it, but the phone gets you an answer today.
