As you know, experience counts. You don’t want just anybody coming into your property making a mess or doing the job poorly. You want a company with the experience to know that not all stumps are the same. You need professionals who know how to set their equipment, so they don’t tear up your grass if it has recently rained heavily and then leave it for you to fix. Or, if it’s been severely dry, you need someone who knows how to not set fire to dry stumps with a lot of pitch in them. In short, you need someone with the experience not just to do the job right, but someone who respects your property and will leave it looking just how you like it when they leave. Our company, Madison Stump Removal has that experience. We’ve been removing tree stumps for more than 15 years now. We’re not some big corporation from outside. We’re all locals who eat at the same restaurants and shop at the same stores you do. As you may already know, when polled, most Americans preferred to buy local. It just makes good sense to put your money back into your local economy and support Maddison businesses. Because we’re locals, we know how to treat people right. We have the best reputation in town and we have the references and testimonies to prove it. That’s what buying local is all about, neighbors doing business with neighbors, just like our fathers and grandfathers did.

We are a full service Tree Care company that specializes in difficult tree removals, pruning, installing cabling support systems, performing hazard evaluations and providing consultation on general tree health management. We pride ourselves on providing the highest quality services at competitive pricing.

Our company’s services are of high quality because every certified arborist is trained and certified. We have selected them because of their skills and expertise in their field. Aside from that, they are experienced professionals who know how to work around tree care and understand what the clients really need. We are sensitive not only to the trees but to the whole surroundings, like the landscape and the establishments that might be affected by the ongoing project.

Tree care works best with a plan that follows tree age, species, and site conditions. With Tree Wise Men, property owners can schedule assessments that map out seasonal tasks and safety priorities before issues grow. Crews begin with visual inspections, looking for deadwood, crossing branches, or clearance problems near roofs and walks. For established shade trees, Madison tree pruning focuses on structural balance and gradual thinning to improve airflow and reduce breakage. Younger trees benefit from formative cuts set over several visits, so growth stays on track without heavy removals later. When removal is necessary, cleanup includes options for stump grinding, leaving the area usable for new plantings. An arborist in Madison, WI can also suggest maintenance intervals and show simple ways to monitor changes—like noting canopy density, ground heave around roots, or bark wounds after storms.

SavATree was founded by Ralph Robbins in 1978 with a single objective in mind; to save trees from the devastating effects of repeated defoliations by the Gypsy Moth Caterpillar (Lymantria dispar). While this moth was accidentally introduced into the United States by French entomologist Leopold Trouvelot in 1868, it was not until the late 1970's that the population exploded in the Northeast. Ralph, a graduate of Paul Smith's college and entrepreneur at heart, saw an opportunity to make a difference in support of tree preservation and care.
