Learn moreTree Care in Madison, Dane County
Madison is the largest city in our service area and has an urban forest that's both celebrated and under pressure. The isthmus neighborhoods between lakes Mendota and Monona — Tenney-Lapham, Marquette, Williamson-Marquette — have some of the densest mature street trees in the state, and also some of the most constrained work sites: tight lots, minimal drop zones, and heavy parking conflicts that make rigging the only option.
Dane County was one of the first Wisconsin counties to see emerald ash borer at landscape scale, and the ripple effects are still playing out. We've removed hundreds of dead and dying ash on Madison's near-west side and in the Schenk-Atwood-Starkweather corridor. Newer suburban developments out by Epic and the west-side medical corridor tend to have younger, healthier trees that benefit most from early structural pruning before problems develop.
What We Do in Madison
Isthmus work is almost always rigging-heavy; we see a lot of EAB-driven ash removal west and south; UW-area rentals often want absentee-friendly scheduling. We're a family-owned, ISA Certified Arborist team based in Janesville — Jason James (WI-1418A) and Andrew — and every estimate in Madison is walked by a certified arborist, not a commission salesperson. Every job carries $2M liability insurance and workers comp.
