Why Professional Tree Removal is Essential

Removing a tree isn’t just about cutting it down. It’s about keeping your property safe and clear. Unhealthy or unstable trees can pose serious risks to structures, power lines, and people. Trees may need removal due to storm damage, disease, or simple overgrowth that encroaches on buildings or blocks sunlight.

Rausch’s tree removal service is designed to prevent these risks before they become problems. We specialize in:

  • Hazardous Tree Removal – Removing trees that pose immediate safety threats.
  • Storm-Damaged Tree Removal – Clearing trees weakened or broken by extreme weather.
  • Property Clearing – Creating open space and enhancing the appearance of your landscape.

Our team evaluates each tree carefully to ensure a safe, efficient removal process. In Southeastern Wisconsin, where weather can be unpredictable, it’s important to have reliable experts to handle unexpected tree issues.

Signs Your Tree Needs to Be Removed

If you’re not sure whether a tree should stay or go, here are some telltale signs that it may need to be removed:

  • Visible Lean or Leaning Toward Structures – Trees that lean significantly can be at risk of falling, especially in windy or stormy conditions.
  • Dead or Dying Branches – Brittle or leafless branches are a warning sign that a tree may be in decline.
  • Hollow or Decaying Trunk – If the trunk shows signs of rot, fungus, or holes, the tree may be structurally compromised.
  • Root Damage – Exposed or damaged roots can destabilize a tree, increasing the risk of it toppling.

If you see any of these signs, it’s best to reach out to our tree removal service for a professional assessment. We’re available to provide free inspections and guidance to help you make the best decision for your property.

Controlled Tree Removal
We remove the tree in carefully managed sections using advanced equipment and industry-leading techniques to maintain control and safety. This step is critical for trees close to homes or power lines. Our tree removal service team takes every precaution to avoid any damage to your property.

Stump Grinding and Cleanup
After the tree is removed, our team grinds down the stump or removes it entirely, depending on your preference. Stump removal helps prevent regrowth, reduces tripping hazards, and improves the overall look of your yard. We leave the area clear, clean, and ready for whatever you have planned next.
