About
Technical Tree Work for Mequon's Large Wooded Properties
Mequon lots run big, and so do the trees on them. With 20+ years of experience, our crew handles the large-diameter oaks, maples, and white pines that standard yard outfits will not touch, along with the access problems that come with long drives and wooded back sections. We stage equipment where it will not rut the lawn, rig heavy wood down in controlled pieces, and leave the property looking like the wooded parcel you bought.

Local tree care built for Mequon, WI
Mequon properties are big, and the trees match. Acre-plus lots, long tree-lined drives, and wooded back sections mean large-diameter oaks, maples, and pines that need a technical approach rather than a quick drop. We plan staging and access first, protect the lawn and drive with matting, and handle everything from a single hazard tree to selective clearing across several acres.

Mequon Tree Service FAQ
Common questions from owners of large and wooded Mequon lots.
Yes. Large oaks, maples, and white pines are routine work for us. We bring the climbing gear, rigging, and grapple or lift support the tree calls for and map drop zones before the first cut.
Yes. Selective clearing, buckthorn and scrub removal, and fence-line work are all quoted per project after a walkthrough. We flag the trees worth keeping before anything comes down.
November through March. Pruning oaks in the growing season invites oak wilt, which spreads fast through connected root systems on wooded parcels.
We lay plywood and matting over turf and soft ground, and we stage equipment on the drive where possible. Any ruts get repaired before we consider the job finished.
Removals typically run $500 to $3,000 on larger properties because of tree size and access distance. Trimming starts around $250 per tree. Estimates are free and fixed in writing.

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!!!!
