Chapter Seven / Questions

Real answers. No fluff.

Do you offer free estimates? +

Yes, estimates and consultations are always free and come with no obligation. Call (715) 313-0550 or request a quote below to get started.

Are you a certified arborist? +

Yes. Wellner Arboriculture is owner-operated by an ISA Certified Arborist (#MN-4720A) who is also Tree Risk Assessment Qualified, holds a forestry degree from UW-Stevens Point, and is a member of the Wisconsin and Minnesota Arborist Associations.

Can you help with storm emergencies? +

Yes. We offer emergency storm cleanup for downed trees and debris, including Saturdays and Sundays by appointment. Call us as soon as it is safe to do so.

Can a tree be saved instead of removed? +

Often, yes. As certified arborists, we will tell you honestly when proper pruning, treatment, or a risk assessment can preserve a tree rather than remove it. Healthy, established trees are worth keeping when we can.

Do you clean up when the job is done? +

Always. Full cleanup is included with every job, brush and wood chipped or hauled, and the yard left tidy.

What areas do you serve? +

Eau Claire and the greater Chippewa Valley, Chippewa, Clark, Taylor, and Rusk counties and surrounding towns. Not sure if you are in range? Just call and we will let you know.
