Tree Service in Fairchild, WI

Fairchild trees, from village lots to wooded acreage

Fairchild is a small village in southern Eau Claire County, and tree work here comes in two kinds. In town, trees stand close to homes and driveways, so the job is careful work in a small space. Outside the village, calls come from farms and wooded acreage, where the problem is more often a fence line, a lane, a field edge, or a windbreak than a single tree. Ash is common here, and emerald ash borer has turned many of those trees into standing hazards, so plenty of our Fairchild work starts with an ash in decline.

What we handle in Fairchild

Most calls start with one tree that has someone worried. When it has to come down, we handle tree removal, including tight village-lot removals where the tree stands close to the house. When the tree is still sound, tree and shrub pruning takes out dead and poorly placed limbs so you keep the tree without keeping the worry. And when you cannot tell which case you have, a tree risk assessment from a certified arborist on our crew answers that question before any equipment shows up.

Once a tree is down, the stump is what you notice next, especially in the middle of a village yard. Stump grinding takes it out so the spot can go back to grass. For the trees you plan to keep, plant health care catches insect and disease trouble while it is still treatable, which is how a small problem stays off the removal list.

Rural properties bring the bigger jobs. Lot clearing and forestry mowing is how we open up a fence line that has not been touched in years, push brush back off a field edge, reopen a lane that is growing shut, or get a building site ready to use. Once the ground is open, tree planting fills it back in with trees suited to the site instead of whatever volunteers first. And when a storm drops trees across a yard or driveway, storm cleanup is the service to ask for.

Storms and emerald ash borer around Fairchild

Wind is the wild card here. One rough night can split trunks and leave limbs hanging over a yard or driveway, and a hung limb is more dangerous than it looks because it can let go with the next gust. If a storm leaves your place blocked or something hanging, keep people and vehicles out from under it and call us. That is exactly the situation emergency storm cleanup exists for.

Emerald ash borer is the slower emergency. Dead ash gets brittle fast, and the longer one stands near a home or driveway, the fewer safe ways there are to take it down. If an ash on your property has thinned at the top or started shedding bark, it is worth a look now rather than after the next windstorm.

Fairchild tree service questions

Do you work outside the village of Fairchild?
Yes. We take on farms and wooded acreage all around Fairchild, and rural work like fence lines, field edges, and windbreaks is a normal part of our schedule.

How urgent is a dead ash tree?
More urgent than it looks. Ash killed by emerald ash borer turns brittle quickly, and a brittle tree near a house or driveway should come down before it starts dropping limbs on its own.

Can a tree be saved instead of removed?
Often, yes. We look before we recommend anything, and if pruning or ongoing care will solve the problem, that is what we suggest. Removal is for trees that are past helping.
