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!!!!
Milwaukee Tree Trimming FAQ
Common trimming questions from homeowners across Greater Milwaukee.
For most trees in Wisconsin, late fall through early spring (dormant season) is ideal — the structure is easier to see, disease and pest pressure is lower, and the tree recovers faster in spring. Oaks in particular should be pruned November through March to avoid oak wilt. That said, hazardous or damaged limbs get trimmed the moment they're identified — safety comes first regardless of season.
Most mature shade trees in Greater Milwaukee benefit from professional trimming every 3–5 years. Young trees may need light structural pruning every 1–2 years to build a strong form. Trees near your roof, driveway, or powerlines usually need more frequent clearance work. We'll flag anything on your property that needs attention now vs. can wait during your free estimate.
Trimming typically runs $250–$1,200 per tree depending on size, height, canopy density, and access. A single small ornamental is quick; a mature oak or maple over a house is a much bigger job that requires climbing gear and careful rigging. We give free written estimates so you can see exactly what's included before we start.
Not when it's done correctly. Proper pruning — removing dead, diseased, or crossing branches and thinning selectively — actually extends the life of the tree and reduces storm-damage risk. Over-pruning ('topping') a tree is what causes long-term damage and decline. Our crew follows ANSI A300 pruning standards on every job.
Yes. Every trim includes full debris removal, chipping, and site cleanup. We rake the work area and haul everything off your property — you shouldn't be able to tell we were there except for the healthier-looking tree.
