Tree Removal in Lakewood, WI, Lot Clearing and More
A Northwoods property can hold far more trees than a town lot. We help owners keep the ones that make the place special and deal with the ones that put a roof, a dock path or a driveway at risk.
- Tree removal: tall pines and dead trees leaning toward a cabin are taken down with care, in sections when space is tight.
- Land clearing: we open room for a new build, a garage, a camper pad or a wider driveway, chipping the brush as we work.
- Tree trimming: limbs reaching over roofs and decks are cut back so a heavy snow does not drop them where people gather.
- Storm damage cleanup: after a windstorm rolls through the forest, we clear fallen trees from yards, lanes and buildings.
- Stump grinding: stumps left from clearing are ground below the surface, ahead of a lawn, a path or a building project.
Tree Service in Lakewood, WI, Inside the National Forest
Lakewood is a town in Oconto County, surrounded by the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, which is still a working forest today. The area has deep logging roots: the old-growth stand known as the Cathedral of Pines was spared from cutting thanks to the efforts of Lucy Rumsey Holt, and McCaslin Brook was once used to move large quantities of logs.
Waubee Lake, home to the YMCA's Camp Nan A Bo Sho, is a summer getaway, and cabins around the lakes and back roads often sit under mature trees that were standing long before the buildings. We look at how each tree stands, what it could hit and what it adds to the property, then give you honest options.
Down the road from Lakewood, we also serve Mountain, and across the county line, White Lake in Langlade County. Follow either link to read about the roads, lakes and history we keep in mind when we work there.
Tree Service in Townsend, WI, Right Next Door
Townsend is a neighboring town in Oconto County, and its lakes and streams account for about three and a half square miles of water. Lake homes and seasonal cabins there face the same tall trees and winter weather as Lakewood, and we serve Townsend with the same services.
Every estimate is free, our work is fully insured, seniors and veterans receive a discount, and we offer options for every budget. We chip brush and branches and haul debris with our dump trailer. Ask about cleanup when you get your free estimate.
Getting a Lakewood Cabin Through the Seasons
A cabin that sits empty for weeks at a time needs its trees checked on a rhythm. Spring is the time to look for limbs that winter snow cracked or bent, before summer storms finish the job. Summer is a good season to open up shade over a roof that stays damp, or to clear a view down to the water.
Fall is when owners close up for the year, and it is the right moment for trimming branches that hang over the roof, the deck or the propane tank. Taking care of them before the snow arrives lowers the risk of coming back in spring to a broken limb on the building.
Tell us when you will be up, or set the work up by phone from home, and we will plan the visit with you. A cabin that sees its owners only a few weekends a year still deserves a careful look.

Lakewood and Townsend Tree Questions
Do not see your question? We answer 24 hours a day.
(715) 701-9234Do you work in both Lakewood and Townsend?
Yes. Stefanski Tree Service covers Lakewood and Townsend, along with the rest of our northern Oconto County service area. Whether your cabin sits on a lake in Townsend or on wooded land in Lakewood, the services and discounts are the same. Call (715) 701-9234 to describe the property and set up a visit.
Can land clearing in Lakewood leave the trees I want to keep?
Yes. Some owners want a building site or a view opened up while keeping the forest feel. We mark the trees to remove with you before any cutting begins, then clear, chip the brush and grind the stumps where you plan to build. The trees you want to keep stay standing around the new opening.
My Lakewood cabin has tall pines close to the roof. Should they come down?
Not always. A healthy pine with a sound trunk and good roots may only need its lower or overhanging limbs trimmed. A tree that is dead, cracked or leaning toward the cabin is a different story. We look at each one during a free estimate and explain whether trimming or tree removal makes more sense for that pine.
