TREE TRIMMING & PRUNING
Pruning trees is necessary to maintain safety, improve tree structure and health, and make the tree aesthetically pleasing with the proper structure and form.
Pruning trees is an art that requires high attention to detail, knowledge of tree biology, and an eye for aesthetics. Developing an eye for tree pruning requires years of practice, a deep understanding of how trees respond to cuts, and long-term vision of how the tree form should complement the overall landscape.
Certain tree species and individual trees require more pruning than others. Allow a certified arborist to assist you with expert tree pruning, since improper pruning cuts will cause damage that remains for the life of the tree and affect its future growth.
Young trees should be pruned often to encourage a strong central leader and discourage co-dominant stems and included bark defects. Pruning young trees will reduce the need for corrective pruning as they mature.
Mature landscape trees are pruned for a variety of reasons including to provide clearance from buildings, reduce the risk of failure near a structure, to allow sunlight to penetrate the crown, increase air movement throughout the canopy, and removing dead, dying, or diseased branches.

TREE PLANTING
Strategic tree or shrub planting is often recommended to enhance the natural beauty of your landscape, improve air and water quality, and maximize property value.
Extensive knowledge & understanding of tree species characteristics and planting site considerations is required when deciding the right tree for the right location.
Each tree species has environmental requirements for light, water, soil, and space. Our certified arborist is trained to assist you in selecting and planting a tree that will thrive in your planting site conditions.
Trees sequester carbon, create ecosystems, provide oxygen, cooling shade, filter pollutants from the air, deflect noise and wind, block unwanted views, protect soil from erosion, reduce rain runoff, and beautify the landscape.
We source from the best nurseries in Southeast Wisconsin to provide the best trees and shrubs available in a large variety of species and sizes.
"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now" - ancient Chinese proverb
