Removing a tree from your property does not have to be a daunting experience when you have a friendly, expert team to guide you through the process. Our ISA-certified arborists provide top-tier, highly technical tree removal services with the utmost professionalism, ensuring your property is treated with the respect it deserves.
Trees are an incredible asset to your landscape, but they occasionally need to be removed due to disease, structural instability, outgrowing their safe space, or simply because they've died. When professional pruning or tree health care measures are no longer enough, and it is time to remove a dead, dying, diseased, or unwanted tree, you need a team that possesses the technical skills and specialized equipment to handle even the most difficult projects.
Expert Tree Service & Science brings unparalleled expertise to every job as your premier tree removal service in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Because we invest heavily in our team's training, we can handle complex removals that many other local companies simply cannot.
We do not just cut down trees. Our experts utilize scientific, modern arboriculture practices to safely dismantle them, protecting your home and leaving your yard cleaner than we found it.
While the vast majority of our removals are planned maintenance projects, we understand that nature is unpredictable. Expert Tree Service & Science is here for you when storm damage or other emergencies occur that require quick tree removal.
Safety is paramount on every job site. We operate with 100% accountability; if anything goes wrong during a dangerous tree removal, we will inform you immediately and make it right.
To mitigate risks and protect your lawn, we frequently rely on advanced equipment. Our Expert Tree team performs crane-assisted large tree removal whenever needed. This allows us to safely "float" up to 10,000 pounds of heavy wood out of backyards and over homes, significantly reducing collateral damage to your grass and landscaping. For tight spaces, we also utilize mobile elevating work platforms (spider lifts) to gain safe, precise access to the canopy.
Every tree and property is unique, meaning there is no single set process for how a removal is executed. However, here is what you can consistently expect when working with us:
When you contact us, you will hear back quickly — often the same day or the next business day. One of our professionals will visit your property to assess the tree and determine the safest, most efficient removal method.
We will explain the process during the estimate, detailing whether the job requires a crane, a lift, or traditional climbing and rigging, and with your approval, we'll plan a convenient day and time to remove your tree.
Our highly trained crew will arrive, aligned with the scheduled plan and needed equipment, and execute the removal safely and efficiently.
We will haul away the debris and leave your property looking pristine. If you have requested it, we will follow up by grinding the stump and hauling the chips to grade.
We often get questions about whether homeowners' insurance will cover the cost of tree removal. While every policy is different, insurance typically only helps cover the cost if a healthy tree falls onto a covered structure (like your home, garage, or fence) due to a covered peril, such as a severe windstorm.
If a tree is simply dying, diseased, or falling in an empty area of your yard, insurance companies generally consider its removal to be routine homeowner maintenance. We always recommend checking directly with your insurance agent for the specifics of your policy.
There is always a risk of some matted grass when moving heavy wood, but we do everything possible to mitigate damage. By utilizing cranes, we can lift heavy pieces out rather than dragging them, leaving your yard as good — if not better — than when we arrived.
Not necessarily. Every removal is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Depending on the tree's location and condition, we may use a crane, an aerial lift, or specialized climbing and rigging techniques.
Yes. While it is a separate service, the vast majority of our stump grinding is done in conjunction with our tree removals. We grind the stump, clean up the area, and haul the chips to grade, leaving the area ready for your next landscaping steps.
Timelines are highly variable. Depending on the size of the tree and the complexity of the site, a removal can take anywhere from an hour to a full day. On average, a standard tree removal takes between two and six hours.
Absolutely. We are fully licensed and insured in both Minnesota and Wisconsin to protect you, your property, and our crew.
If you have a tree that has become a hazard or has simply outgrown its space, do not wait for an emergency. Let our highly trained professionals at Expert Tree Service & Science handle the heavy lifting safely and efficiently.
