"Professional hard working company. They truly enjoy their work and they go above and beyond. We needed several trees trimmed to get ready for a new shed and they did the job beyond our expectations. They did more than we asked of them, cleaned everything up when they were done and we couldn’t be happier with the end results. I encourage anyone looking for tree services to call them! They don’t over charge and they do an excellent job!! Thank you Cherry Tree Service"

"They were very professional. Got there within the hour of when they said. There was an arborist and two guys. They knew what they were doing. They left the yard cleaner than when they started, they raked and blew the yard. They did a terrific job! The tree looks great. I would hire them again right away."

"Luis and his team were great! I had a large tree that was surrounded by my house, the neighbors house, and a garage. They had it down and the wood stacked neatly in about half a day. Later in the day, I called back to see where the anchors were for my sons playhouse, and Luis said he would check with the crew and call me back. Within 30 min I got a call back saying where they anchors were but not to worry as Luis had already came back and put the playhouse/anchors back in himself. What great customer service!! I would definitely recommend them to others and hire again for future needs."

"John and his crew are professionals. They started our job of removing 5 trees 3 days earlier than expected this past week. It took the 5 man crew 4hrs last Wednesday and 4hrs on Thursday to remove the 5 trees. They ground up all the stumps and cleaned up all of the twigs that had broken off. They were very careful when running their machinery on the lawn to not damage it. They put down a number of panels to protect the lawn. I will definitely be calling this company again when I need to trim any of the remaining trees. Their pricing is reasonable and competive in this market. My wife and I highly recommend them."

"Luis Diaz is the owner. He came to my house and gave an estimate. He took a few days to fit my tree into his schedule as he wanted to be in my neighborhood to do a few trees. He and his crew were friendly, hard working, efficient and well priced. Luis does all tree cutting in the lift himself. He is very skilled. They cut the tree, mulched and took all branches away, cut the logs into 16 inch pieces. I then had a friend lend me his wood splitter and Luis and his crew split the wood and stacked it. Left the place very clean. I would hire him for sure next tree i need removed. Crazy good work!"

Customers say: True professional

"The crew came on time and worked steadily throughout the day to remove a very large tree from a fairly small lot. Everyone was polite and respectful. Taking down a tree this size was not a simple job, but these guys really know what they're doing! They cleaned up the area thoroughly when they were finished. Now I don't have to rake leaves this year. Thanks, guys!"

Average removals are around $1,250, since most removals involve larger trees. But it's not uncommon to see costs ranging from $5,000 to as high as $10,000, depending on the circumstances. On the lower end of the range, a removal might only cost around $250 if it's a small tree.

Helpful?

Your Milwaukee home may need tree service if you notice overgrown branches, signs of disease, or storm damage. Properties with mature oaks, maples, or elms often benefit from regular tree trimming and health assessments. Homes near power lines or in older neighborhoods should consider professional evaluation to address safety concerns and maintain compliance with local landscaping standards.

Helpful?

In Milwaukee, consider whether your project involves protected trees or those near public sidewalks, as permits may be required. The city’s climate, including harsh winters and salt exposure, can affect tree health and timing for pruning or removal. Coordinate with neighbors for shared property lines, and avoid pruning certain species in spring to reduce the risk of disease transmission.

Helpful?

Milwaukee offers a range of tree service contractors, including certified arborists for tree health and preservation, tree removal specialists for hazardous or fallen trees, and crews focused on tree trimming and pruning. Utility arborists handle work near power lines, while stump grinding experts manage root and stump removal. Larger teams may also offer emergency storm cleanup and seasonal maintenance services.

Helpful?

When hiring tree service pros in Milwaukee, prioritize companies with certified arborists, strong safety protocols, and up-to-date insurance. Look for experience with local tree species and knowledge of pest management, especially for threats like Emerald Ash Borer. Confirm they understand city permit requirements and utility line regulations. Also, assess their emergency response readiness and ability to handle seasonal challenges unique to the area.
