Tree Planting and Selection
The right tree in the right place adds shade, beauty, privacy, and real value to your property for decades. The wrong tree, or the right tree planted poorly, creates problems for just as long. Wellner Arboriculture helps you start strong with sound species selection and proper planting.
Our certified arborist helps you choose trees suited to your soil, your space, and your goals, and that hold up well to our western Wisconsin climate. We consider mature size, sun and shade, drainage, and how close the tree sits to buildings, drives, and utilities, so you are not fighting the planting years from now.
Planting depth and placement matter more than most people realize, and getting them wrong is a common reason young trees struggle. We plant correctly and leave you with clear, simple guidance on watering and early care so your new trees establish and thrive.

Right tree, right place
A tree that is perfect in one spot can be a poor choice a few feet away. Before you plant, it pays to think about how large the tree will grow, how close it sits to your home and utilities, and what you want it to do, whether that is shade, privacy, or curb appeal. We are glad to walk your property and help you get it right the first time.
