Professional Tree & Property Services in Ashland, WI & Surrounding Areas
If you live along the south shore of Lake Superior, you know what trees here go through. Heavy snow loads. Sudden wind off the lake. Ice that lingers into spring. Over time, even healthy trees become a problem.
Quality Tree Service has been handling those problems since 1988. Owner Mark Hazelquist leads a crew with a combined 85 years of experience across Bayfield, Ashland, and Oneida Counties. Tree removal, lot clearing, site prep, gravel driveways, crane service. We have the equipment and the people to handle jobs most outfits in northern Wisconsin can't.

A Local Tree & Property Service Built for Jobs Like Yours
Quality Tree Service is built for the jobs that require more than a pickup truck and a chainsaw. A leaning tree near a structure, a lot that needs full clearing before a build, a driveway that has to hold up through a northern Wisconsin winter—Mark's crew handles all of it.
Either way, we show up with the right equipment. Mark's crew handles everything from careful removals in tight residential yards to high-volume lot clearing on rural acreage. We run crane service for complex removals, heavy equipment for grading and road building, and gravel work for driveways that need to last through a northern Wisconsin winter.
We don't cut corners because we work in the same communities where our customers live. When the job is done, we leave the site clean.
When Property Owners Call Us
Most people don't plan on needing tree work. They call us when something doesn't feel right anymore, or when a project reaches a point where experience matters.
We're often called when a tree is leaning toward a structure and needs crane-assisted removal. We get calls when a storm drops trees across a driveway and access needs to be cleared fast. Builders and contractors reach out when a lot needs full clearing, grading, and road prep before construction can start. Landowners call when overgrown acreage has gotten out of hand and they need heavy equipment, not just a chainsaw.
Some calls are urgent. Others are planned months out. Either way, we help property owners figure out the safest, most practical next step, even if that means walking through options before any work begins.
If that sounds like your situation, give us a call.
Emergency Tree Service & Storm Damage Removal
Northern Wisconsin storms don't give much warning. A line of wind off Lake Superior, a heavy wet snow in October, an ice storm that settles in overnight. Trees come down fast, and right now communities across Cable, Hayward, Iron River, Winter, and Radisson are dealing with exactly that.
We've been responding to storm calls in this area since 1986.
When a tree comes down on a structure, blocks a driveway, or drops over a power line, we have the crew and the equipment to handle it the same day. Many of these calls come in after hours or during rough conditions. That's not unusual for us. It's part of what working in Bayfield and Sawyer County for nearly four decades looks like.
We handle single-tree emergencies and large-scale storm cleanup across the region. When the job is done, we haul everything out and leave your property clear. If you need
storm damage clean up or
emergency tree service in Cable, Hayward, Iron River, Winter, Radisson, or anywhere across northern Wisconsin, call Mark's crew now.

Why Property Owners Choose Quality Tree Service
People call us for different reasons. Some need a tree down before the weekend. Others are breaking ground on a new build and need a full lot cleared, graded, and ready. Most are just looking for someone they can trust to show up, do the job right, and not leave a mess behind.
Here's what actually sets us apart. We've been in business since 1988 — longer than most tree services in northern Wisconsin have existed. Mark Hazelquist runs every job with a crew that brings a combined 85 years of hands-on experience to the work. We carry crane service and heavy equipment that lets us handle projects most local outfits have to turn down. And we work across Bayfield, Ashland, and Oneida Counties, so we already know the terrain, the permits, and the conditions on the properties we're called to.

Tree Removal Done the Right Way
Tree removal is one of the most common calls we get, and one of the easiest places for things to go wrong when experience is lacking. Dead trees, leaning trees, or storm-damaged trees near structures don't leave much room for error.

We take time upfront to assess the tree, the surrounding space, and potential risks. For complex removals close to homes, outbuildings, or power lines, we bring in crane service to control exactly where a tree comes down. This is true whether it's a tight residential yard in town or a wide rural property outside Ashland.
We handle residential and commercial tree removal using techniques that reduce impact to nearby buildings, driveways, and landscaping. When the job is done, we leave the site clean. That's what 39 years of doing this looks like.
Stump Grinding That Actually Solves the Problem
Old stumps tend to get ignored. Until they're in the way. Or attracting pests. Or making mowing a headache.
Our stump grinding service removes stumps below ground level so you can move on with your plans, whether that's reseeding, landscaping, or just having a cleaner yard. We can grind down to surface level or go deeper to get underneath the root system, depending on what you need the space for. Many jobs involve stump grinding after tree removal, but we also handle stumps that have been sitting untouched for years.
Once the stump is gone, we clean up and leave the area ready for whatever comes next.
How Our Process Works
We keep things straightforward.
Most projects don't fall apart because of the work itself. They fall apart because of poor planning. We avoid that.
