The ISA Certified Arborists at Wachtel Tree Science represent years of experience and knowledge in all parts of the tree care industry. Our arboricultural consultation services allow us to share our knowledge with residential, commercial and municipal clients across Wisconsin. We use innovative technology, state of the art equipment, and invaluable field experience to provide insight for a wide variety of unique cases. You will be paired with an Arborist that is an expert in your city. For example, tree care in Milwaukee differs quite a bit from tree care in Walworth County.

Wachtel Tree Science has an excellent inventory of industry-leading equipment to make nearly any tree removal service safe and efficient. Professional tree removal service is highly dependent on skill, patience, experience and innovative technique. When plant health care management is no longer an option for your sick or dead tree, our Certified Arborists can provide tree removals with exceptional care and attention to detail. Our high standards for removal service ensure that your property remains safe and your tree is removed efficiently.

Proper shrub and tree planting techniques are an extremely important process which provides many benefits to property owners and the environment. 8 out of 10 trees are planted too deep, and while they will still grow, they never will reach their full potential and will cause issues as the tree grows. Wachtel Tree Science uses preferred methods when providing tree planting services. Our Certified Arborists take care in every step of the tree planting process to ensure your investment thrives. We'll provide you with our recommendations of what to plant and where to plant it based on your individual Southeastern Wisconsin property and what you are looking for in a landscape.

It is important that trees receive the nutrients necessary to live and thrive. When your soil is deficient of nutrients, your trees will not reach their full landscape potential, will be more susceptible to disease and insect problems, and will have a shorter life than a similar, well-fertilized tree. Trees in urban and suburban environments such as Milwaukee and Brookfield are often under high stress conditions due to low moisture availability, soil compaction, physical damage, nearby construction, and competition from turf and nearby trees and shrubs.

Our knowledgeable and experienced ISA Certified Arborists know that all tree and shrub pruning services are different. A professional arborist assesses each tree or shrub individually and then decides what type of pruning is necessary to achieve the desired objective. Hiring a professional Certified Arborist provides peace of mind that your plant's health is well cared for. If tree pruning is performed incorrectly, it can cause harm to your trees or shrubs, and your property. At Wachtel Tree Science, we keep safety top of mind and are always looking out for the best interest of your trees and shrubs to keep them healthy and beautiful for years to come.
