Much of the tree service involves removals. This is part of urban forest management as some trees die or become hazardous. Many skills are used in concert with this service. Most of these skills preserve the property which surround the tree being removed. Safe and timely removals with conscientious care of the surrounding properties always ends with satisfaction in a job well done.
Trimming trees can sometimes be overwhelming to an apprentice arborist. There are hundreds if not thousands of branches to choose from. While trimming a tree there are many factors into why a branch should be cut. Safety, disease and wind load to name a few, but one factor always plays in.aesthetics.
The tree must look good. Blending the biological with the visual in a timely fashion is a skill developed over many years, and we often enjoy standing back to admire the craft and tree as one. Trees are living breathing organic architecture. They are complex, beautiful, and practical. We understand this and take pride in the ability to identify environmental stresses, inherent weakness, and pests within and around your tree.

I hired these guys to get a large job done. I had 8 trees to be cut down and 2 extra stumps to be ground up. Dustin is easy to talk too and so is his crew. They know how to get the job done and done right. I am so very pleased on the job they did for me. So if your looking for someone to do the job . You have got the RIGHT company - Shackleton Tree Service!!

Really appreciated the clear communication with Dustin and Josie, the quick turnaround for the job, and the respectful nature of Dustin and his crew. There was one minor hiccup the day they came and took down four of our trees; they were extremely apologetic and knocked some money off the price. Strongly recommend working with these good folks.

Very polite, very quick, smooth process. Dustin came out took a look and advised what would be needed. It took a bit for insurance but when I contacted him again it was less than 24hrs to come and take care of the tree. His crew was polite and professional. They got it done quick and then they were off. I really appreciate the great work!

I had a tree service from Eau Claire quote me on taking down a medium-sized limb that was damaged after a storm. The service - the highest rated on Angie's List - quoted me $800, which blew me away. I'd heard good things about Shackleton, and really like their branding/logo, and thought we'd reach out to them. They offered to take the limb off for $150 ON THE SPOT. I really wish Shackleton was listed in Angie's List, as I would have gone with them first if they had popped up! We will be calling on them next time we have any tree issues/needs for sure!

Shackleton Tree Service was recommended to me by an insurance adjuster who came out to assess some damage I'd had to my rain gutters and roof from a tree limb that fell during a storm some four weeks previously. I called Dustin (the owner) and left a voice mail message asking him to call me back. He returned my call within a few hours. I was impressed with his promptness. We set up a time for him to come to my home to give me an estimate on any number of trees that needed trimming as well as a few that needed removal. We discussed terms and I thought his bid was fair and accurate when I received
