“Had Madison Tree Service come out to inspect this massive oak tree in my backyard that's been there for probably 80 years. The arborist really knew his stuff, spent time looking at the trunk, the branches, checked for disease and structural issues. He explained everything clearly and gave me options for what to do next. Really put my mind at ease about whether it was safe to keep.”
Arborist Consultation
“Our hedges were totally overgrown and looking pretty rough. Madison Tree Service came in with a three-person crew and shaped them up beautifully in just one afternoon. They cleaned up all the trimmings and left the yard looking manicured. Really professional work.”
Hedge Trimming & Shrub Care
“We needed to clear about half an acre of overgrown trees and brush on our rural property so we could eventually use the land. Madison Tree Service handled the whole job, removed the trees, cleared the debris, and left us with a clean slate. Took them two days and they were efficient. Really happy with how they managed the heavy equipment and left the property accessible.”
Land Clearing
“After we had a tree removed last year, we were stuck with this ugly stump in the middle of the yard for months. Called Madison Tree Service and they ground it down completely, you'd never know a tree was even there. The crew was quick and cleaned everything up really well.”
Stump Grinding
“Had to take down a dead pine that was getting too close to the house. Madison Tree Service came out, assessed it, and removed it safely without any damage to the property. They were careful about where it fell and the whole job felt secure. Definitely recommend if you need a tree removed.”
Tree Removal
“Our apple trees needed some serious pruning to get them back to producing fruit. The crew from Madison Tree Service knew exactly how to trim them properly, shaped them up and removed all the dead wood. Already seeing better growth this season.”
Tree Trimming & Pruning
“Emergency call on a Saturday, we had a tree leaning dangerously toward the driveway after the storm. Madison Tree Service got someone out same day and took it down before it could cause real damage. Fast response and professional crew made all the difference.”
Tree Removal
“That old oak by the water was looking pretty wild and overgrown. We called Madison Tree Service to trim it back and maintain its shape without hurting the tree. They did incredible work, kept it healthy-looking while opening up the view to the lake. Couldn't be happier.”

Madison Tree Service is the trusted choice for homeowners and property managers across Madison and the surrounding Dane County area who need professional tree care. Whether you're in the historic neighborhoods of Marquette, Tenney-Lapham, or Vilas, the wooded streets of Nakoma and Maple Bluff, or the newer subdivisions of Fitchburg, Verona, and Middleton, our team brings decades of local expertise to every job. We understand the unique challenges that Madison's landscape presents, from the mature oaks and maples that shade our older homes to the storm damage and seasonal hazards that come with our long, cold winters and severe summer thunderstorms.
When homeowners search for tree service near me in Madison, they're looking for a company that knows the local terrain, respects their property, and gets the job done right. That's us. Madison Tree Service is fully insured on every job, and we're committed to keeping your trees healthy, your property safe, and your landscape beautiful. Ready to get started? Call us at (608) 292-4948 or request a free estimate today.
Tree removal and emergency service are at the heart of what we do. Madison's mature tree canopy is one of our greatest assets, but it also means that homeowners face real risks: large limbs overhanging driveways and roofs, trees weakened by disease or age, and storm damage that can drop entire trees across structures, vehicles, or power lines in minutes. When heavy wet snow, ice, or straight-line winds strike, the consequences are immediate and dangerous. A fallen tree on your house, garage, or car is not just an inconvenience, it's a safety and financial emergency that demands fast, professional response.
Madison Tree Service offers 24/7 emergency tree removal for exactly these situations. If a tree has fallen on your property, a large limb is hanging over your roof or threatening power lines, or a storm has left your landscape damaged and unstable, don't wait. Call (608) 292-4948 right away. Our crews are equipped to handle hazardous removals, fallen trees, and dangerous limbs with the precision and safety protocols that protect your home and family. We'll assess the damage, remove the risk, and work with you to restore your property.
Beyond emergency situations, we also perform planned tree removal for trees that are diseased, dying, or simply no longer wanted. Whether you're dealing with oak wilt on a red oak, emerald ash borer damage on a terrace ash, or a tree that's outgrown its space, we have the equipment and expertise to remove it safely without damaging your home, landscaping, or neighboring properties. Our emergency tree service is available whenever you need us, and our standard removal work is scheduled at your convenience.
The cost of tree removal in Madison depends on several factors: the size and species of the tree, the difficulty of access, how close it stands to your house or other structures, and the scope of work involved. A large oak in a tight yard surrounded by landscaping will cost more than a smaller tree in an open lot. Removal that includes stump grinding, debris hauling, and site cleanup will differ from removal alone. Rather than guess at a price, the best approach is to request a free estimate from our team. We'll inspect your property, understand your needs, and provide a clear quote. For a detailed overview of how we price our services, visit our pricing page.
Beyond tree removal, Madison Tree Service offers a full range of care and maintenance services to keep your landscape healthy and safe. Stump grinding removes the root system left behind after removal, allowing you to reclaim the space for planting, paving, or simply a cleaner yard. Tree trimming and pruning promotes healthy growth, improves structure, and removes dead or crossing branches before they become hazards. We also provide hedge trimming and shrub care, land clearing for new construction or property development, and arborist consultation for homeowners who want professional advice on tree health and care.
Tree removal permits are an important consideration in Madison and many surrounding municipalities. Depending on where your property is located, your city or village may require a permit before removing trees above a certain diameter, or if the tree is designated as a heritage or protected species. Some neighborhoods also have homeowners association rules that govern visible tree removals. Madison Tree Service is familiar with the permit requirements across our service area and can advise you on whether a permit applies to your project. We recommend checking with your local building department or contacting us for guidance, and we're happy to help you navigate the process or handle the paperwork on your behalf. Call (608) 292-4948 or send us a message to discuss your project and learn what permits, if any, may be necessary.
