Tree Removal & Stump Grinding

Safe & Reliable Tree Removal Services

Trees enhance our landscapes, but when they become hazardous, diseased, or overgrown, professional removal is necessary. Crawford Tree & Landscape provides expert tree removal services for homeowners and businesses in Milwaukee, Brookfield, Waukesha, and surrounding areas. Our certified arborists evaluate tree health, recommend the best course of action, and execute removals with precision.

When is Tree Removal Necessary?

  • Hazardous or Leaning Trees – Trees with structural damage or signs of pending failure pose a serious risk to your home and safety.
  • Dead or Dying Trees – Diseased or pest-infested trees can spread infections and compromise surrounding plants.
  • Storm-Damaged Trees – Broken, cracked, or uprooted trees after severe weather require prompt removal.
  • Overgrown Trees Near Structures – Large branches encroaching on power lines, roofs, or sidewalks may be able to be removed for tree health and your safety.
  • Tree Root Damage – Roots disrupting driveways, sidewalks, or building foundations may require complete removal.

Our team specializes in safe, professional tree cutting and removal, using industry-best techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to prevent damage to surrounding landscapes.

The Tree Removal Process

Tree removal requires careful planning and execution to ensure the safety of people and property. At Crawford Tree & Landscape, we follow a structured process to remove trees efficiently while minimizing disruption to your property.

The process begins with an inspection to assess the tree’s condition and surroundings. Factors such as tree height, location, and nearby structures determine the best removal strategy. Once the plan is in place, the area is secured to prevent damage to nearby buildings, landscaping, or utility lines.

Using industry-specific equipment and techniques, the tree is cut down in sections rather than felled in a single cut, ensuring controlled removal. Branches are taken down first, followed by the trunk, which is cut into manageable pieces. If necessary, cranes or ropes are used to lower sections carefully to the ground.

Once the tree is removed, the remaining stump can be left in place or removed depending on the client’s preference. Stump grinding or removal is an option for those who want a prepared space for replanting, lawn installation, or new landscaping. Finally, all debris may be cleared from the site.

Stump Grinding & Stump Removal Services

Removing a tree is only part of the job—leftover stumps can be unsightly, hazardous, and attract pests. Our stump grinding services ensure complete removal, allowing you to reclaim your outdoor space.

Benefits of Stump Grinding:

  • Improves Curb Appeal – Eliminates eyesores and enhances the beauty of your yard.
  • Prevents Pest Infestations – Avoid termites, carpenter ants, and fungi that thrive on decaying wood.
  • Reduces Safety Hazards – Stumps can be tripping hazards for children, pets, and damaging to lawn equipment.
  • Allows for Replanting & Landscaping – Stump removal makes space for new plantings, sod, or patios.

Additional Yard Services After Tree Removal

Our yard and lawn restoration services, completed in house by our landscape professionals, ensures your property looks untouched, post-removal. We also offer:

  • Lawn Repair & Sod Installation – Restore damaged grass from stump grinding and removal to provide a seamless look..
  • Tree Replacement & New Plantings – Replant trees or shrubs creating a new and landscaped bed.

Fantastic experience. I had some large trees close to our home that needed to be taken down and they did so in a safe, quick, and efficient manner. John Menzel, Cole Adam, and Austin Kubash left a clean job site with zero headache for us. Would highly recommend!

Excellent in every way! We will use their service again! I could not be happier with the service, price, communication and finished product. Crawford removed a very large problem tree for us and Dane and the team were awesome.

We have had a great experience with Crawford since they were first recommended by a neighbor to help us determine if our Ash trees were worth saving. Jon came out and gave us a thorough assessment and recommendation for treatment.

Crawford Tree has been servicing my personal residence as well as the common areas of the homeowners association property in the subdivision in which I live for 10+ years, and they have always provided high-quality, detailed, expert treatment of the trees, shrubs, bushes, [and] lawn areas associated with both.

We are having a fantastic experience with Crawford! We called in Spring and talked with Steve about our front lawn. The dirt level was so high, it was nearly impossible to edge. We also had a very clumpy, bumpy lawn and small bare spots all over, that were more like holes and it was so uneven. Originally, we were going to do the job ourselves. Let me say...SO glad we didn't.
