ISA Certified Arborists and NALP Certified Landscapers, A TCIA Accredited Tree and Landscape Company
Founded in 1969 as a one-man operation, Crawford Tree & Landscape has grown into one of Southeast Wisconsin’s most trusted and credentialed tree and landscape companies. For over 57 years, homeowners, businesses, and municipalities across Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Waukesha, and Washington counties have relied on us, and we’ve earned that trust through certified expertise, career-focused staff, and a commitment to doing this work the right way.
We are a local, family-owned company with no venture capital or private equity involvement. That means every decision we make is about the quality of our work, the community, and the relationships we build – not quarterly returns or wealth extraction.
Our Story
We started this company with a single crew and a simple belief: that property owners deserve honest advice and expert care. What began as one man and a truck has grown into a team of near 50 year-round professionals serving Milwaukee County, Ozaukee County, and parts of Waukesha and Washington counties.
Years later, that belief still drives everything we do. We call ourselves an estate care company, not as a reference to the size of the properties we serve, but due to the level of commitment we bring to every one of them.
Our Equipment
We use our own equipment, not rented machines or old tools. Our fleet includes aerial lifts, loaders, and smaller machines that can move across your yard without damaging your lawn or planting beds.
We have full-time mechanics on staff who perform our preventative maintenance and repairs on our fleet, keeping it safe and well-maintained.
Having the right equipment ready means we can show up on time, handle any size job, and work efficiently while keeping your property clean and protected.
For tree health work, we also use special diagnostic tools and deep root injection systems. This helps us treat disease and pests directly at the source, without unnecessary spraying.
Safety First
Tree work is high risk, so safety is a top priority every day. As a TCIA Accredited company, we follow strict ANSI Z133 safety standards on every job.
Our crews start each day with safety checks, wear full protective gear, and stay trained in proper climbing and rigging methods. This helps protect our team, your property, and your family while we work.
Keep in mind however that safety is not a product, it’s not something you can buy or install, it’s the manner in which people work. For this reason, we truly practice as a People First company as opposed to beating the drum of safety first, which turns into white noise.
We are proud to be:
- Certified by leading arboriculture organizations
- Fully licensed and insured for all tree services
- Trained professionals with years of experience
- Committed to safety, quality, and customer satisfaction
