Tree Service in Greenwood, WI

Greenwood trees, from in-town shade to Clark County farm country

Tree work in Greenwood splits into two kinds of jobs. In town, the typical call is one mature shade tree that has outgrown its lot, standing so close to a house or a garage that there is no room to drop it in one piece. Past the city limits, the calls come from farms and wooded parcels, where the trees that matter are the windbreaks around the farmstead, the shade trees by the farmhouse, and the fence lines and woodlots that frame the fields.

The two settings fail in different ways. An in-town tree gives slow warnings, deadwood in the crown, limbs stretching over the roof. Rural work tends to sit until it is overdue, a fence line nobody has touched in years, a woodlot edge creeping into a hayfield. We plan for both, and every job is done by our own crew.

What we handle in Greenwood

In town, the first goal is keeping a good shade tree, not taking it down. Careful tree and shrub pruning gets deadwood out of the crown and limbs off the roofline, and for many older yard trees that is the whole fix. When a tree cannot be saved, or sits too tight to the house to keep, we move to tree removal and dismantle it in controlled sections, since tight Greenwood lots rarely leave room to fell anything whole. Stump grinding then turns the stump into level, plantable ground, and tree planting puts the right species back in the yard, one chosen to fit the space instead of outgrowing it. If part of you thinks the tree could still be saved, a tree risk assessment from a certified arborist sorts what can stay from what cannot.

Outside town the equipment gets bigger. Lot clearing and forestry mowing is the answer for a fence line that has gone years without attention or a woodlot edge pushing into a hayfield, opening that ground back up for use. For the trees you want to keep, the windbreak and the farmhouse shade trees most of all, plant health care catches insect and disease trouble while there is still something worth saving. And when a summer storm drops a tree across the driveway, our emergency storm cleanup crew comes out by appointment.

Summer storms and emerald ash borer in Greenwood

Two problems drive most of the urgent calls here. The first is the summer storm that rolls through and puts a tree across a driveway, and the trees that go down first are usually the ones already carrying deadwood or a bad lean. The second is emerald ash borer, which kills ash trees and leaves them standing. A dead ash turns brittle fast and sheds limbs over driveways and fences without warning, so removing one on your schedule beats waiting for the weather to decide for you.

Greenwood tree service questions

How do you take down a tree that is tight against my house or garage?
In sections, from the top down. That is the most common in-town job we get in Greenwood, and each piece comes down under control.

Do you work on farms and acreage outside Greenwood?
Yes. Windbreaks, farmstead shade trees, fence lines, and wooded parcels are regular work for our crew, including jobs at the end of a long driveway.

How long can a dead ash tree safely stand?
Not long. Ash killed by emerald ash borer turns brittle quickly, and the removal only gets more dangerous the longer the tree stands, so plan it before limbs start coming down on their own.
