Tree removal
Full takedowns from front yards to back corners with no driveway access. We rig from the canopy when there isn't room to drop. Storm-broken trees off houses included.
Marty and a small crew, working out of Markesan. We bring the equipment to you, take the tree down safely, and leave the lawn how we found it.
What we do
Most jobs start with a removal or a trim and end with grinding the stump and hauling the wood off. Tell us what you've got and we'll figure out the rest.
Full takedowns from front yards to back corners with no driveway access. We rig from the canopy when there isn't room to drop. Storm-broken trees off houses included.
Stumps ground well below grade. Holes patched, mulch hauled off or piled where you want it. Tracked grinder fits through a fence gate.
Crown reduction, deadwood out, clearance from roofs, gutters, and power drops. Clean cuts so the tree heals well and doesn't fight you again next year.
Wind-snapped, half-fallen, or leaning on a structure. Call as early as you can — same-week response is usually doable when the weather lets us.
Why Capital
Eight reviews on Google. Every one of them five stars. Here's what they actually say.
Tree work makes a mess. Cleaning it up is part of the job, not a favor. Mulch hauled, holes patched, lawn swept.
The price you hear on the walk-through is the price on the invoice. No surprise add-ons after the saws come out.
Markesan is the home base. We've taken the truck and the grinder down to Madison and Fitchburg without batting an eye.
Trees leaning over a roof, planted between two fences, sitting on a power drop — those are the ones we plan for. Rigging from the canopy when there's no room to drop.
One owner answers the phone. You know who's coming, when, and what the day looks like.
Same faces on every job. Knows how the rigging is set up, where the ropes go, how to read each other on a complicated removal.

About
Capital Tree Service is a small, family-owned outfit out of Markesan. Three-plus years on our own, a lot longer in the trade. We took on this name because we work the capital region — Madison and the towns around it — but we run jobs all over central and southern Wisconsin.
Every estimate is free. Every job is insured. The truck pulls up when we said it would.
