"Central Wisconsin Excavating (CWE) did a fantastic job on our project. They built a solid, well-prepared foundation for our 80,000-bushel grain bin and graded our driveways perfectly to ensure water drains away from our buildings. Their attention to detail, quality of work, and professionalism really stood out. The site was left clean and properly finished, and everything was done right the first time. We’re extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend CWE to anyone needing excavation or site work done right."

"Moved to Beaver Dam during summer of 2020 and hired Fiddlers to do snow removal. I have been very impressed with their great service. They are here quickly after a snowfall and my corner sidewalks and driveway are cleared perfectly. They also do my front porch, steps, and walkway. I can definitely recommend them."

"Mike was great and easy to work with. He came out and gave us an estimate within 24 hours and was able to do the project within a few days. We are very satisfied with the work. We had 9 tree stumps that needed grinding including a very huge willow tree with massive roots."

"Following a bad storm in June, we had some damage to a large silver maple in our back yard. We called multiple arborist services in the area, and the only place that actually answered the phone was Canopy Tree Care. Despite how busy all tree services were at that point, Josh was out to check out our damaged tree within a day. He offered suggestions for the short term, explaining very candidly that he had other more urgent jobs, completely understandably - someone with a tree branch through their house is definitely more urgent than the minor damage on our maple! So we set a time for him to come back and give us a quote on both the storm-damaged maple and on trimming three somewhat overgrown river birches in the front yard. The birches were growing closer to an overhead electrical wire, plus they were just really shaggy and unkempt-looking. Josh was very receptive to my preference for keeping the birch branches as long as possible without actually being in the way. Josh provided the quote by email after I reminded him of it (he has been busy this summer). The first date we set was too rainy/stormy to do the work. The second date we set also had to be postponed because of a more urgent job (someone whose home was in danger due to a fallen branch). Both postponements were promptly and clearly communicated on the morning of the day when we had planned the work to be done. Third time was the charm, though, and Josh showed up with his crew and equipment promptly first thing in the morning. They did an absolutely incredible job! They didn't go tearing right into cutting stuff up; they started out by discussing together what was needed and how to trim effectively in a way that would be beneficial to the trees as well as producing the most aesthetically pleasing result. They spent several hours working on the birches first, and the difference was absolutely incredible - they're glorious and beautiful now! Josh also thoughtfully trimmed the branches over where my spouse parks his car a little higher, which my spouse appreciates very much. The silver maple went a little faster, but the same care and attention to both the tree's health and to its appearance were brought to that as well. The crew did a fantastic job of cleaning up as well, removing and grinding up all the branches they took down. They even found the little pile of branches we had waiting for the next city brush pickup and cleared that out as well! Josh's evident love and appreciation for healthy, well-maintained trees was evident throughout the process. We are very, very happy with the result, and we will definitely contact Canopy Tree Service the next time we need help with our trees."

"We needed all the old mulch and fabric removed from our mature front landscaping as well putting down all new fabric and 6 yards of mulch. They did an excellent job and are very hard workers only briefing stopping for a short lunch break and working until the job was done (6:30pm). Layne is excellent to work with and is very responsible. He kept in touch with us and would definitely hire again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years. 

If it’s only a smaller branch that has died and you’re keeping an eye on the tree, it’s probably nothing to worry about. But if other nearby branches start dying off as well, or a very large branch dies, then you likely have a bigger problem. It’s time to watch for diseases and other problems and possibly get professional guidance on how to proceed.

Pruning a tree is a yearly DIY job that involves removing small dead branches, leaves, and blooms to help the tree grow bigger and stronger. You can often complete the job with basic home gardening tools. Trimming a tree, however, removes larger sections to control the direction the tree grows in and protects your home, utility wires, and yard from potentially dangerous branches.

It enhances property aesthetics, improves tree health, and prevents safety hazards.

The typical lifespan of a Bradford pear is relatively short, only 15 to 25 years. However, these trees have issues long before their life is over. Due to their soft wood and fast-growing branches, Bradford pear trees often split around 15 years, making them a risk for falling branches and more prone to disease.
