Ever wonder when that big oak in your yard needs professional attention?

Living between Lake Mendota and Monona means our Madison trees face unique challenges. Those freeze-thaw cycles we know so well? They’re tough on even our hardiest native species.

Here’s what many homeowners don’t realize: certain tree removals in Madison require city permits, especially near power lines or in right-of-ways. The permit process can seem overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.

What’s the biggest tree challenge you’ve faced on your Madison property? Storm damage? Disease? Just getting too close to the house?

Think winter means no tree work? Think again!

Here in Waunakee, our frozen ground is actually doing your lawn a huge favor. Heavy tree equipment that would normally sink into soft soil and damage your grass can now work safely on that rock-solid frozen surface.

Plus, with all the leaves gone, it’s like having X-ray vision for your trees. We can spot problems that have been hiding all summer long.

Winter pruning isn’t just possible – it’s often better than waiting for spring!

Madison tree owners - quick question for you:

When do you think is the WORST time to prune oak trees in Wisconsin?

If you guessed April through July, you’re absolutely right!

That’s oak wilt season, and pruning during this time can literally kill your trees. But here’s what most homeowners don’t realize - late winter is actually the PERFECT time for most tree pruning.

Our dormant season gives trees the best chance to heal before spring growth kicks in.
