"We had a very large (dead) ash tree that we needed to have removed. I called and spoke to Tanner, who was very professional, knowledgeable, and time efficient. He was able to stop by and assess the tree within a few hours of us talking. He was so down to earth and answered all of my questions. I had a formalized quote the next morning, and Tanner actually squeezed us into their already busy schedule because of the state of the tree. He really cared about our safety, as well as our neighbors, and made it all happen. The Alpha crew did an amazing job taking the tree down and cleaning everything up. I had the pleasure of talking to a couple of the guys, and they were professional, personable, and really knew their stuff!!! The price we were quoted for the job was BETTER THAN COMPETITIVE, and I wish I could give these guys 10 stars. If you're reading this review, you're obviously reading it for a reason...do yourself a favor and just call Tanner at Alpha Tree Service. You'll be soooooo happy you did!!!"

Tree Removal in Belgium, WI
A tree hanging over your roof keeps you up at night. We take it down piece by piece, nothing gets crushed, and the yard is raked clean before we leave.
Safe Takedowns
Tree Removal Belgium Homeowners Trust Near the House
Some trees fall in open fields. Yours is probably 10 feet from the garage. That's the job we're built for.
Most removals we do around Belgium aren't simple drops. They're dead ash leaning toward a deck, a split silver maple over the driveway, or a pine squeezed between two houses. So the crew climbs or uses a lift, cuts from the top down, and lowers limbs on ropes. The trunk comes down last, in short pieces, right where we planned.
Before any saw starts, Tanner walks the job with you, points out what's near the tree, and puts a written price in your hand. If he thinks the tree is healthy enough to keep, he'll say so. One customer had three trees looked at and only two came down. That's how we like it.

Signs It's Time
When a Tree in Your Yard Needs to Come Down
Not every sick tree needs removal. These are the ones that usually do.
-
Dead or Dying Ash Trees
Emerald ash borer leaves ash brittle fast, and dead limbs drop without warning.
-
A New or Growing Lean
Soil heaving or cracking on one side means roots are letting go.
-
Mushrooms or Hollow Spots at the Base
Rot inside the trunk you can't see often starts where you can.
-
Big Splits Between Main Trunks
A crack in a V-shaped trunk can open up in one windy afternoon.
-
Roots Lifting Walks or Foundations
When pruning can't fix it, removal protects the house and the sidewalk.

Local Know-How
What Makes Tree Removal Different Around Belgium
Lakeshore wind, clay soil, and a lot of dead ash shape how we plan every job here.
Ozaukee's Ash Problem
Emerald ash borer was first found in Wisconsin in Ozaukee County, and dead ash are everywhere now.
Lakeshore Gusts Near Belgium
Strong east winds off the lake push weak trees over, so we check lean and roots closely.
Heavy Wet Snow
Spring snow loads snap tops and split trunks, leaving hangers that need careful removal.
Soft Clay Lawns
We lay mats and pick equipment paths so loaders don't leave ruts in wet clay.
Trees Near Service Lines
When a tree touches the line to your house, we coordinate with We Energies first.
Tight Village Lots
Older lots in Belgium and Port Washington leave little room, so rope work matters.
Removal Reviews
Tree Removal Reviews From Local Homeowners
"I saw his team work next door and was impressed. I called him and requested a quote. Tanner called back and came out the next day. I showed him 3 huge trees that worried me due to health, huge size and nearness to house. He agreed on 2 trees but felt the third was still healthy. He would take it down if I really wanted but we both love trees. My home is surrounded by forest. So he explained the process of tree removal extremely well and showed me he was insured. He originally said he could come in 2 weeks. We shook hands on it. Couple of days later he called to see if he could come sooner. Surprised, but good. He also said what would normally take 2 days to complete would be done in one day. Even better. Arrived on time with entire team at 8:30AM and finished at 8:00PM. A very professional team who work hard and support each other. Amazing and fun to watch, good price, cleaned up well when done and paid attention to my concerns. I will use them again."
"These guys are great!! Tanner was awesome to work with to get a quote and set everything up. And the crew showed up early and worked their butts off to get the job done! Our particular trees were between two buildings, one of which was our neighbors house, and they brought down both without a hitch. They worked fast and clean and did a fantastic job! Can't say enough good things about Tanner and his guys. If you need tree work done, these are THE guys you want doing it!!"
Removal Questions
Tree Removal Questions, Answered
Yes, it's a big part of what we do. Instead of dropping the tree whole, the crew cuts it from the top down and lowers each piece on ropes. Roofs, decks, and fences stay untouched, and the trunk comes down last in short sections.
