Northern Woods Tree service is dedicated to the preservation of trees. Unfortunately, in some cases, tree removal is necessary when a tree has died or is showing signs of severe regression. We have an extremely experienced team of ISA certified arborists that can evaluate your trees to help you make an informed decision whether the tree should be removed or just treated.

Tree removal is very dangerous work and should only be done by trained specialists. Our team of Certified arborists and experienced climbers utilize state of the art equipment to safely and effectively remove trees. You can be assured that we follow the safety standards set out by OSHA and ANSI and that we are certified and fully insured. We are equipped to handle any job no matter how difficult or dangerous.

Please remember that routine checkups and annual services, such as pruning, can dramatically improve the health of your trees and often extend their life.
It can also be more cost effective to care for the trees, rather than let them reach a state where removal is the only option.

We encourage you to call us and book a free consultation. The urgency of this matter is due to a wide range of reasons including, but not limited to the following:

1. Dangerous
   Dead and/or dying trees are extremely unstable and unpredictable. They pose a threat of falling at any time, not just in storms, causing damage to property or injuring people.

   Dead trees are a liability! If they fall on your neighbor’s property it could cause property damage or possibly harm someone.

   Proper care of your trees will help to extend their life.

2. Haven for unwanted pests Dead or dying trees are at risk of drawing in rodents and termites. Both insects can migrate the short distance to your house. The longer you leave a dead tree unattended, the more likely the chances that unwanted pests will set up shop in your backyard.
3. Dead trees are unsightly Trees play a major role in the beauty of any landscape. Let’s be honest, dead trees are not visually pleasing. If you invest money on other elements of landscaping, you’re doing yourself a disservice if you do not factor in the maintenance of your trees. Also, the longer you leave a tree that is regressing, the worse the problem will become. It’s important to have your trees regularly checked because sometimes it’s difficult to tell if a tree is dead or regressing without a professional examination.
4. Tree diseases are transmittableTree disease or fungus sometimes can be transmitted to and contaminate nearby trees and plants. It’s best to consult a certified arborist to help diagnose the issue.

How to tell if your tree is dead, dying

Call one of our arborists if you notice any of the following:

• Sudden or heaving leaning. This could indicate a damaged root system, which likely means the tree is at risk.
• Roots heaving up from ground or visibly dead or dying roots.
• Decay or fungi
• Peeling or loose bark.
• Extensive cracks, crevices or cavities around the trunk of the tree .
• Dead or drooping branches in the canopy.
• Wilting, discolored or damaged leaves.

Stump Grinding

Need to get rid of a stump that’s been in the yard for years and alters your landscape…or maybe you just had a tree cut down? We’ve got you covered. By using the best techniques and equipment, we can grind out the stump into chips and remove it in no time. We grind down the stump below the soil surface as well as the tree’s surface roots. The mulch from the process is used to fill back in the hole in the ground.
