Tree Removal in Ellsworth: Clearing Multiple Hazard Ash Trees
Managing a property with multiple declining trees requires a strategic, mechanized approach. On January 22, 2026, the NWI crew arrived for this tree removal in Ellsworth to remove five hazard trees that were strategically positioned across the property.
Project Summary
This large, complex tree removal in Ellsworth involves a multi-tree removal performed by NWI Tree Service in January of 2026.
- Primary Entities: Four Ash trees (21–26″ diameter) and one Crabapple tree.
- Locations: Front yard, backyard, and driveway-adjacent.
- Key Equipment: Nifty Lift SD 64, Tracked Skid Steer with Grapple, and Grapple Truck.
- Service Rep: Tanner
The Challenge: Multi-Zone Hazard Mitigation
The project for Mike Deiss involved removing four substantial Ash trees (21–26 inches in diameter) and one Crabapple tree. These trees were located in high-traffic areas, including:
Front Yard: Two large Ash trees looming over the main entrance.
Backyard: One Ash and one adjacent Crabapple tree.
Driveway: One Ash tree positioned right off the parking area.
The Solution: Mechanized Fleet Efficiency
To complete the 15 hours of labor safely and efficiently in winter conditions, we deployed our specialized low-impact fleet:
Nifty Lift SD 64: This man-lift allowed our team to access the high canopies of the Ash trees without climbing on icy branches. Its large turf tires ensured low ground impact on the dormant Ellsworth lawn.
Tracked Skid Steer: Equipped with a grapple and bucket, this machine moved heavy logs and debris from the front yard and driveway to the landing zone with speed and precision.
Main Grapple Truck: Per our contract, we provided a total haul-away of all debris. Our grapple truck efficiently loaded the massive logs and branches, leaving the property clear of winter tree waste.
