Our emergency crew typically arrives within 2 to 4 hours across our southeast Wisconsin service area, equipped for hazardous removals involving power lines, structures, and blocked roadways.

Terry and crew did a large job removing the ash trees on my property which have succumbed to the emerald ash borer. He has the right equipment to do the job efficiently and safely. Would definitely hire again.

I cannot recommend Russ’s Tree Service enough !!! Better pricing and better options than the 6 other companies I checked out. I had two huge dead ash trees removed – they were like directly over the house. Amazing work, done in one day, cleaned up same day. Seriously amazing team – hire them, you won’t be disappointed.

This family owned business takes great pride in their work. I saw them down the block doing a job and asked Terry for his opinion on my trees. He came over after they finished cleaning up to look at my yard and gave me a great price. They also advised me of the equipment need to provide such services along with a timeline of a project completion. This was the first company I consulted on my yard and was the last as well. Your in great hands with Russ’s Tree Service.

Russ’s Tree Service cut down an elm that was very near our house, with a deck on one side and more trees on the other. They did a great job. It was fast and neat. They honored our original quote, which was hundreds of dollars less the other three quotes we got. We chose to do the brush removal ourselves, but the cutting and stump grinding were done to our approval. We would not hesitate to use them again.

Russ’s Tree Service left me a very Happy customer. Didn’t know where to start as this was a tree that fell onto my property due to the winter storm we had. It landed on my neighbors car that was parked in the driveway as well. I called Russ’s, Terry came out immediately, looked @ the damage & gave me a fair quote. I accepted the offer & he came out within the same day & got the job done. It was such a mess but Terry & his co-worker left the area raked & clean. It was a freezing cold day but that didn’t stop him! Terry was very professional, hard working & kind! I will definitely use Terry again, thanks for doing such a Great job!
