Tree Care Experts Who Know St. Francis

St. Francis offers a rare combination in Milwaukee County—Lake Michigan shoreline with mature urban forest, including the remarkable Seminary Woods. This old-growth remnant on the seminary grounds features ancient trees and serves as a critical stopover for migrating birds. The lakefront location creates distinct challenges from salt spray, wind exposure, and bluff erosion.

Local Tree Concerns We Handle

Lake Michigan Bluff Properties: Trees along St. Francis's lakefront face erosion, wind exposure, and salt spray stress. We assess stability on bluff lots and can remove hazardous trees before bluff failure creates emergencies.

Seminary Woods Buffer: Properties near this old-growth remnant feature mature trees worth preserving. We provide expert pruning to extend their life and sensitive removal when necessary.

Coastal Wind Damage: Lake exposure means St. Francis properties face stronger wind events than inland areas. We identify wind-vulnerable trees and provide storm damage response throughout the community.

Garden District Character: This well-maintained neighborhood features mature street trees and landscaping. We work carefully in tight urban spaces with crane service when ground access is limited.
