Tree Care Experts Who Know Waukesha
Waukesha's three historic districts and the 95-acre Fox River Sanctuary preserve mature tree canopy that defines the city's character. From the grand oaks in Tower Hill to the riverside trees along the Fox River Parkway, Waukesha's urban forest requires careful management—especially given the city's ash tree losses to Emerald Ash Borer.
Local Tree Concerns We Handle
Historic District Requirements: Tree work in McCall Street, Wisconsin Avenue, or College Avenue Historic Districts may require approval. We're familiar with these requirements and can help navigate the process.
Fox River Corridor: The Fox River Sanctuary and connected parkway contain mature trees in sometimes difficult-to-access locations. Our crane service handles removals along the river without damaging surrounding trees or trails.
Post-EAB Canopy Gaps: Waukesha lost thousands of ash trees to Emerald Ash Borer. Many remaining stumps need grinding, and some properties have dead ash that were never removed—now presenting serious hazards.
Oak-Hickory Management: Waukesha's upland areas feature native oak-hickory forest. We follow proper pruning timing and can thin overcrowded stands to improve specimen tree health.
