About
Removal, Windbreaks, and Clearing Across Germantown
Germantown properties swing from tidy subdivision yards to old farmstead parcels with overgrown windbreaks and fence lines gone to buckthorn. We do both. That means single hazard removals in the village, whole rows of crowded or storm-thrown spruce out on the rural edge, and clearing work that opens up a fence line, drive, or building site. Everything gets chipped, hauled, and raked out before we call it done.

Local tree care built for Germantown, WI
Germantown mixes subdivision yards with rural-edge parcels and old farmstead windbreaks, which means we see everything from a single overgrown maple to full fence-line clearing. Spruce and pine windbreaks planted years ago are now crowded and failing in storms, and ash across the village continues to decline. We handle both the removal work and the clearing that follows.
Neighborhoods we cover
- Village center
- Maple Road area
- Mequon Road corridor
- Holy Hill Road area
- County Line Road corridor
- Lannon border

Mason and the crew did a fantastic job taking down our tree. It was a large locust, but they gave us a fair estimate and did the job in a day. They were polite and professional the entire time and were respectful of our neighbors and our property. We could not be more grateful for the work they did and recommend them to anyone who needs a tree removed!

They took down a big oak that was partially over the house. Took it down with no issues. Very professional and skilled. Cleaned up after. Left the yard cleaner than they found it.

Mason and his team were excellent! They arrived on time, were professional and helpful! They cut down a huge basswood tree in the backyard and had permission to use part of our neighbors lawn. Our neighbor (and us) were impressed by the clean up! Highly recommend! Thanks Mason.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. The entire team was very quick, super accommodating, very professional and each of them went beyond for our tree cutting. They left no track marks in the grass and cleaned everything prior to leaving. I would highly recommend Down Rite Tree Service. Their team was great!!!!
