Professional Tree Removal in the Chippewa Valley
Taking down a large tree is one of the most dangerous jobs in all of property maintenance, and it is not something to hand to just anyone with a chainsaw and a pickup. When a tree is dead, diseased, storm damaged, or simply growing in the wrong place, Wellner Arboriculture removes it safely and cleanly, right down to the last branch.
Before a single cut is made, our certified arborist studies the lean of the tree, the health of the trunk, and everything around it, including your home, garage, fence, and any power lines. Trees that sit close to a structure are lowered piece by piece with ropes and rigging, while trees with open room around them can be felled whole. Every removal is supervised by the owner from the first cut to the final rake.
When the work is finished, the cleanup is part of the job, not an extra. We chip the brush, haul the wood away, or cut it to firewood length if you would rather keep it, then rake the area so you are left with usable space instead of a mess. If you want the stump gone as well, ask us about stump grinding while we are on site.
