Tree Removal FAQs  for Madison Homeowners

Feel free to reach out — we’re here to make Tree removal easy, efficient, and hassle-free for every Madison homeowner.

  • Do I need a permit to remove trees on my Madison property?

    Madison has specific regulations regarding tree removal, particularly for street trees and in certain historic districts. While most trees on private property don't require permits, trees in the terrace/right-of-way, heritage trees, or trees in shoreline zones may require city approval. We help navigate these requirements for all Madison and Dane County communities.

  • How much does it cost to remove a tree in Madison?

    Tree removal costs vary significantly based on size, condition, location, and access. Small trees (under 20 feet) typically range from $XXX-$XXX, medium trees (20-40 feet) from $XXX-$XXX, and large trees (over 40 feet) from $XXX-$XXX. Factors like proximity to structures, power lines, or difficult access can increase costs. We provide free, detailed quotes after a site assessment.

  • How do you handle trees affected by emerald ash borer in Madison?

    Madison has been heavily impacted by emerald ash borer (EAB). Affected ash trees become extremely brittle and hazardous, requiring specialized removal techniques. Our crews are specifically trained in safely handling EAB-damaged trees, using crane assistance when necessary and taking extra precautions to prevent spreading the infestation to other areas.

  • What's the best time of year for tree removal in Madison?

    While we perform tree removals year-round, winter removals (December-March) often offer advantages in Madison: frozen ground minimizes lawn damage, dormant surrounding plants are less vulnerable, and structural issues are more visible without leaves. However, hazardous trees should be removed immediately regardless of season, and we're equipped to work in all Wisconsin weather conditions.
