About
Old Canopy, New Subdivisions: Tree Care Across Waukesha
Waukesha covers a lot of ground and the tree work changes block by block. Downtown and around Carroll University we are working tight historic lots where the only safe method is a roped, sectional takedown. Out west we are pruning younger trees before they grow into the roofline. Either way you get a fixed written price at the estimate, an insured crew, and a site raked clean before we pull out.

Local tree care built for Waukesha, WI
Waukesha covers a lot of ground, from the old-growth canopy around the downtown historic district to newer developments on the west side. Many of the biggest trees here are silver maples planted decades ago that are now shedding limbs, along with oaks that need careful seasonal timing. We work both ends of that spectrum with the same fixed-price, full-cleanup approach.
Neighborhoods we cover
- Downtown historic district
- Carroll University area
- Fox River corridor
- Sunset Drive area
- Saratoga area
- Big Bend Road corridor

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!!!!
