Safe, fully insured removal of hazardous, dead, and unwanted trees for Wauwatosa homeowners.
Why Wauwatosa homeowners call us for tree removal
Most tree removals in Wauwatosa happen inches from something expensive: a garage roof, a shared fence, a service drop, or a neighbor's driveway. That is exactly the work our crew is set up for. We rig and lower large limbs in controlled sections instead of dropping them, protect turf and hardscape with ply boards and mats, and haul every piece of wood and brush off the property before we leave. You get a fixed price at the estimate, a scheduled date, and a yard that looks better than when we pulled up.
Most residential removals in the Milwaukee area run $400 to $2,500 depending on height, trunk diameter, lean, and how tight the access is. Every Wauwatosa job starts with a free on-site estimate, and the price we write down is the price you pay.

Tree Removal across Wauwatosa
Wauwatosa's tree canopy, from the Village to Washington Highlands to the Menomonee River Parkway, is one of the oldest and best-maintained in the region. That mature canopy also means large-diameter oaks, maples, and elms that need experienced hands when removal is required. We work closely around historic homes and protected parkway zones to keep every job clean and safe.

Tree Removal in Wauwatosa: FAQ
Straight answers to what Wauwatosa homeowners ask us most.
Most Wauwatosa removals land between $400 and $2,500. Price is driven by height, trunk diameter, condition, and access. A straightforward backyard maple with room to drop is at the low end; a large dead ash leaning over a roof with no equipment access is at the high end. We price on site and the number does not change afterward.
Yes, and it is most of what we do here. We take the tree apart from the top down, rig heavy pieces to the ground on ropes, and keep a controlled drop zone the whole time. Nothing free-falls near a structure.
Haul-away is included by default. If you want firewood rounds left behind, tell us at the estimate and we will stack them. Please follow Wisconsin guidance on not transporting firewood off the property.
Trees fully on your private property generally do not need a permit. Trees in the terrace or right-of-way between the sidewalk and the street belong to the municipality and cannot be removed by a private contractor. We confirm which one you have before we quote.
Routine Wauwatosa removals are typically scheduled within a week or two. Genuine hazards get bumped to same-day or next-day service. Call (414) 629-9648 and tell us what you are looking at.
