"Zuhlke Tree Service did a great job clearing out some overgrowth next to our neighbors fence as well as take down a damaged spruce tree. They removed all the tree pieces and debris leaving our yard all picked up. The Zuhlke family is very friendly and reviews the work to be done with you before starting the job. They offer very reasonable rates. I highly recommend Zuhlke Tree Service if you need any tree/ shrub removal done on your property."

"Jarrod took down a very large 150 plus yr old pine tree that towered above the roof of our house! He is a pro for sure. He dropped it right where it needed to go and made it look way too easy! I recommend him highly for any tree service. His price is more than fair for his experience and skill."

"Matt is very open and ethical. He is willing ro adjust a cost factor when discussed opening with the client. Having certain equipment on hand that must be a separate item to be paid for, i.e., a Lift ($700.00) and having additional time available for its use with unaccountable trees, was gracious. When he says he will be there at a certain time, he is. His expertise is impeccable. He works focused and does not wast time. He thinks through a problem before acting. He has a definite manner in cutting down trees that is both safe and productive. He works well with a "helper" via open ommunication. Safety is ;primary. His use of the Lift was amazing."

"Jesse and his crew gave exceptional service. They not only cut down and chipped our tree, but they also used a leaf blower to clean up the debris. We will certainly hire them again!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.

Yes, many services include stump grinding to eliminate tripping hazards and improve aesthetics.

Carefully pruning small roots no thicker than three inches in diameter won’t harm the tree. However, cutting larger roots may impact the tree's stability and nutrient absorption. It's advisable to consult an arborist or tree care professional to evaluate the root's size, the tree's health, and the potential impact of cutting. Proper tree pruning techniques and timing can minimize damage, but larger root removal may necessitate expert guidance to avoid compromising the tree's overall health and stability.
