"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."

"Madeline did an excellent job with removing weeds and weed block (sometimes 2 layers), movIng schrubs and hostas. She also dug a new border and laid down 3" of new cedar mulch which she got from Lowes and put around existing shrubs and Hydranga. I would highly recommend Madeline for your landscaping project. She has good landscaping ideas and suggestions and is reasonably priced. She is a very personable and extremely hardworkng person. She also is reliable and shows up when she says she will. We were very happy with the outcome of our landscaping project! Please see pictures."

"James is a hard worker! He was quick and knowledgeable with his quote. I appreciated that he contacted me to move the project up a week as I had a deadline to when I wanted the tree removed. He brought all the equipment to remove our 40 foot cedar, cutting, chipping and grinding the stump. It took a little over an hour. His employee, Matt, was a good worker too. James was respectful answering all of my questions. My husband also worked to help him and found that he was fun and easy to work with! I highly recommend James and Nohr-Way Tree Service!!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.

Your local government is usually in charge of pruning trees on public property, and the power company is responsible for trees near power lines (even if they’re on your property). Whether or not they top these trees depends on their approach to pruning. You won’t be able to do much to control this, but you can contact them to find out more about their pruning process.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:

  • The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.

  • The palm’s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.

  • The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor’s property, and pedestrians.

The shepherd’s tree, native to the Kalahari Desert in Africa, holds the record for the deepest known tree roots at over 230 feet deep. Some African communities refer to it as the “Tree of Life” since it provides food, shade, and medicinal properties to the surrounding community.
