Merlo removing oak tree on Somers St in North Hudson, WI

The Highest Standard of Tree Care. No Exceptions.

Expert tree care, removals and pruning from trusted local professionals serving the St. Croix River Valley for 25 years.

Anyone with a chainsaw can call themselves a tree service. Not everyone shows up with certified arborists, a fleet of equipment chosen to protect your lawn, and a professional, experienced crew that cleans up like they're leaving their own yard. That's the difference with JCE. For 25 years, we've earned the trust of local homeowners and businesses by doing the job right, from start to finish.

What We Do

Tree Pruning

Pruning isn't just cutting branches off. Done wrong, it stresses a tree, invites disease, and can ruin its shape for years. Our ISA-certified arborists know how each species responds to a cut, when in the season to make it, and how much a tree can lose and still stay healthy.

Plant & Tree Health Care

Most tree problems are easier and cheaper to fix when you catch them early. Our certified arborists and licensed pesticide applicators diagnose what's wrong and recommend the right treatment, from spraying to injections and deep root fertilization.

Tree Inspection

Not sure if a tree is a real risk or just looks rough? A certified arborist inspection gives you a straight answer, in writing, before you decide what to do next. Most inspections take 15 minutes and include written recommendations for any follow-up work.

Local Tree Care Experts

Four ISA Certified Arborists and two forestry-degreed tree professionals on staff mean the person assessing your tree has the training to understand how trees grow, decline, and fail, and can tell you when removal is necessary and when a tree can be saved. It also means the crews working on your property bring deep knowledge of the trees, diseases, and conditions common to our area.

What Homeowners Say

We had a massive dead ash tree, and needed it removed as we were scared it would snap and land on the house. I got quotes from 4 different companies and JCE had the best quote we believed for the service we were going to get. They came out and chopped it down when I was on a business trip and it was magic. Amazing work by them, someone has made a customer for life!

Ron & Michele Sznaider

Absolutely professional, they made it look easy which means they definitely are experts at what they do. We will continue to use them to remove unwanted trees thanks for the great job!

Jeff Stubbs

They removed two trees and left my property spotless! They even went so far as to sweep down the tree house from any remaining debris. They did extremely high quality work!

Kimberley S. Tree removal

We’ve used 5 other tree companies and none come close to JCE. Their prices are competitive. They are really good at not tearing up the lawn and their cleanup is great, we didn’t have to do a thing cleaning up after the job. We will use them for all our other work.
