PRUNING, TRIMMING & STRUCTURAL CARE

Good pruning is one of the most important investments you can make in your trees. Done correctly, it strengthens structure, reduces storm risk, and supports healthy growth for years to come.

Safety Pruning & Deadwood Removal
Removal of hazardous or weakened limbs that may fall during storms or heavy snow.

Structural Pruning
Improving form, stability, and long-term strength — especially for younger trees that need guidance.

Canopy Thinning & Shaping
Better airflow, more sunlight penetration, and a cleaner, healthier appearance.

Storm & Wind Damage Prevention
Removing weak points before they fail helps protect your home, driveway, and surrounding trees.

Every cut is intentional. Every decision is based on what’s best for the tree and your safety.

PLANT HEALTH CARE & DISEASE TREATMENT

Healthy trees add value, beauty, and longevity to your land. That’s why Plant Health Care is at the center of what we do. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can often save trees long before removal becomes necessary.

Oak Wilt Diagnosis & Treatment
Early identification can protect entire sections of your property. We assess symptoms, evaluate spread risk, and discuss treatment options tailored to your situation.

Spruce Budworm Management
Budworm can cause rapid needle loss and decline. We evaluate the severity and determine whether pruning, treatment, or monitoring will give the tree the best chance to recover.

Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) Inspections & Treatment
Ash trees can often be preserved when EAB is caught early. We provide honest guidance on whether treatment or removal is the safest long-term choice.

Tree Stress, Fungus & Nutrient Issues
Environmental stress, poor soil conditions, fungal disease, and weather cycles all affect tree health. We identify what’s going on and create a practical plan based on the tree’s age, species, and location.

Custom Tree Care Plans
Every property is unique. We walk your land, discuss your goals, and build a plan designed to enhance the long-term health of your trees.

Our goal is always preservation first, removal only when necessary.

SAFE & SKILLED TREE REMOVAL

When removal becomes necessary, you need someone who understands how to do the job safely, efficiently, and with respect for your property.

Hazardous Tree Removal
Removal of dead, dying, or structurally-compromised trees that pose a risk.

Technical Removals in Tight Spaces
Safe removal near homes, garages, powerlines, driveways, and cabins.

Storm-Damaged Trees
Emergency and non-emergency removal of storm-weakened or fallen trees.

Stump Removal Coordination
Referrals available for stump grinding after your removal is complete.

With over 15 years of climbing experience and a strong focus on safety, you can feel confident the job is handled professionally from start to finish.

CABLING & SUPPORT
SYSTEMS

Some trees are worth saving — they just need a little support.

Cabling helps stabilize weak or split limbs, reduce the likelihood of failure, and extend the life of trees that hold sentimental or landscape value.

Ideal for:

  • Trees with V-shaped splits

  • Heavy limbs extending over driveways or structures

  • Mature trees with structural weaknesses

We install high-quality, industry-standard cabling systems designed to support your tree without harming it.

At Hafer Tree Works, every service begins with the same foundation:
protect the health of your trees, protect the safety of your property, and do the job the right way.

The Northwoods are known for their towering pines, resilient oaks, and beautiful spruces — but they’re also vulnerable to disease, storm damage, and the natural aging process. Our approach isn’t just about cutting or removing. It’s about understanding what each tree needs, how it’s being affected by its environment, and what can be done to preserve it.

Some trees need careful pruning so they can grow stronger. Some need treatment for common issues like oak wilt, spruce budworm, or emerald ash borer. And occasionally, a tree is too far gone or poses a danger to nearby structures — and safe removal becomes the best option.

Whatever your property needs, we provide honest recommendations and professional care rooted in experience, integrity, and a deep respect for the land.
