Lake Geneva Tree Service

Tree Care for Lake Geneva and Walworth County’s Estate Properties

Tree Care Enterprises has served the Lake Geneva area since 1978 — nearly five decades caring for the large estate trees, mature canopy oaks, and lakefront properties that define Walworth County. Our crews run regular routes to Lake Geneva, Williams Bay, Fontana-on-Geneva Lake, Walworth, Genoa City, and Elkhorn.

John Richards, President and Founder of Tree Care Enterprises, recently shared, "I started coming up here in the late 70s for my Rockford clients who had summer homes up in Lake Geneva. But soon everyone saw our trucks and it just went from there. We now have dedicated arborists for Lake Geneva to tend to some fantastic mature growth trees in the area."

Properties in this area aren’t typical suburban lots. Geneva Lake’s shoreline estates and the surrounding resort communities often feature mature hardwoods — oaks, maples, and elms — that have been growing for 80 to 150 years. These trees carry real value and real risk. Lake-effect weather, heavy ice loading, and the continued pressure of Emerald Ash Borer have stressed the canopy across Walworth County. Our approach is preservation first, removal only when necessary — and every assessment is made by an ISA Certified Arborist, not a salesperson.

We’re also familiar with the shoreline setbacks and permit requirements that apply to tree work near Geneva Lake and the smaller lakes in the county. If your project requires coordination with the town or county, we’ve navigated that before.

Tree Services for Walworth County Properties

We offer the full range of professional tree care for residential, estate, and commercial properties throughout the Lake Geneva area:

• Tree Removal: Safe, controlled removal of dead, diseased, storm-damaged, or hazardous trees — including large canopy trees near structures, docks, and boathouses.
• Tree Pruning & Trimming: Structural pruning, crown thinning, crown raising, and deadwood removal to keep high-value trees healthy, safe, and visually sound.
• Stump Grinding: Complete stump removal to eliminate regrowth, trip hazards, and insect harborage.
• Emerald Ash Borer Treatment: Trunk injection and systemic treatments to protect ash trees that still have viable canopy. EAB pressure in Walworth County is severe — early treatment is significantly less expensive than removal of a large estate ash.
• Insect & Disease Control: Spongy moth management, anthracnose and oak wilt treatment, and deep-root injections for nutrient deficiencies common in lakeshore soils.
• Deep-Root Fertilization: Soil-injected fertilization to support root health and extend the life of high-value estate trees.
• Tree Preservation: Cabling, bracing, and long-term health management for specimen oaks and heritage trees that anchor your property.
