Case Study 01 · Middleton, WI
80-Year Oak Overhanging Roof & Power Lines
The problem: A massive white oak had grown to within 4 feet of the homeowner’s roof and was dropping limbs on power lines. Three other companies declined the job due to the proximity to the utility lines and the tight access between the house and fence. The homeowner had been living under a hazardous situation for two years.
Our solution: We coordinated with We Energies for a temporary line drop, used crane-assisted rigging to remove large scaffold limbs without any contact with the roof, and completed the full removal in a single day. The stump was ground immediately after. The site was fully cleaned before we left.

Case Study 02 · Sun Prairie, WI
Storm Emergency: Maple Across Driveway & Fence
The problem: A late-night derecho uprooted a 60-ft silver maple and dropped it across the homeowner’s driveway, crushing a section of fence and trapping a vehicle inside the garage. The call came in at 11 PM.
Our solution: Emergency crew on-site within 2 hours. We systematically cut and removed the tree from the driveway first so the vehicle could be freed, then cleared the fence line and removed all debris. The homeowner had full access restored by 3 AM.

Case Study 03 · Fitchburg, WI
Full Property Land Clearing for New Home Build
The problem: A 1.2-acre wooded lot needed to be cleared for a new home construction. The site included mature trees, dense brush, and several large stumps from a previous partial clearing. The builder needed the site ready within a tight 3-day window before grading equipment arrived.
Our solution: Phased clearing over 3 days — selective tree removal to preserve the perimeter trees per the builder’s plan, full stump grinding across the clearing footprint, brush chipping on-site, and full log haul-away. We finished a half-day ahead of schedule.
