What we do

Four services. One certified arborist.

Whether your tree is going in the ground or coming out of it, the work is done by a Wisconsin Arborist Journeyworker holding the ISA Certified Arborist credential.

Pruning

Structural and corrective pruning by hand and saw — sized to the tree, the season, and what you want it to do over the next decade.

Planting

Right tree, right place. Species selection, siting, soil prep, planting, and the staking that keeps it alive through the first two winters.

Removal

From small hazard limbs to mechanized take-downs requiring crane support. Storm damage prioritized across SE Wisconsin.

Plant Health Care

Fertilization, soil amendment, pest and disease management, and the seasonal maintenance that keeps the tree you love from becoming the tree you have to remove.

Meet the arborist

Paul Johannes.

Owner-operator, ISA Certified Arborist, and Wisconsin Arborist Journeyworker. Based in Dousman, working everywhere across southeastern Wisconsin: Waukesha, Milwaukee, Washington, Ozaukee, Racine, Kenosha, and Walworth counties.

The credentials in plain English: the work is held to two layers of standards — the international arboriculture standard and Wisconsin's state apprenticeship standard. The same person doing the work answers to both.

"Paul helped us cut down 10 of the nastiest scariest trees I've ever seen. Some of them were dangerously close to my house and even though I've cut down a lot of trees, I knew I'd be taking a huge risk if I attempted it. It was like magic - he was able to drop even the scariest trees exactly where he wanted and he made it look easy. His price was incredibly fair and he was a delight to work with. I bragged about him to my neighbors and they had him come do work for them, too. Everyone on my block raves about Paul's work. I can strongly recommend him to anyone - and I DO! :)"

"Highly recommend using Johannes Tree Care for tree trimming and removal. Paul and his team are professional, highly-skilled, and equipped to remove trees in precarious positions. They removed a large boxelder, a silver maple and many dead ash and trimmed a couple of others. My skeptical neighbour was so impressed watching their work that he had Paul take down a tree for him the same day. Also very pleased with their clean-up. I would not hesitate to use Johannes Tree Care in every instance."
