Specialized Tree Care

From hazardous removals hanging over your home to clearing lots for new development, we handle the toughest jobs with precision and care.

Crane and Tree

Crane-Assisted Tree Removal

When a tree is dead, leaning, or positioned dangerously close to your home, traditional felling is too risky. Our crane-assisted removal method eliminates the unpredictable variables of gravity and restricted drop zones.

We safely piece down large trees, lifting them vertically up and over obstacles. This approach is not only safer but significantly faster and leaves your landscaping untouched by heavy, falling timber.

Tree Trimming & Pruning

Regular maintenance is essential for the health and structural integrity of your trees. Our expert arborists understand how to properly thin canopies, remove deadwood, and elevate lower branches without harming the tree.

Proper pruning not only beautifies your property but also prevents future hazards by removing weak or diseased limbs before they fall on structures or powerlines during high winds.

Land & Lot Clearing

Whether you are preparing a residential lot for new construction, or need acres of overgrown land cleared and forestry mulched, we have the heavy equipment and expertise to get it done efficiently.

We don't just clear the land; we help you manage it responsibly. We can selectively clear brush and undergrowth while preserving desirable shade trees to enhance the beauty and value of your property.

Professional Stump Grinding

After a tree is removed, the remaining stump can be a trip hazard, a breeding ground for pests, and an eyesore. Our industrial stump grinders efficiently chew through stubborn roots and massive hardwood stumps.

We grind stumps completely below grade, allowing you to reclaim your yard. We offer full cleanup services, including hauling away the wood chips and filling the hole with premium topsoil so you can plant fresh grass immediately.

Emergency Storm Response

Northern Michigan weather can be unpredictable and severe. High winds and heavy ice can quickly turn a beautiful tree into a massive hazard. When a tree fails and rests on your roof, vehicle, or blocks your access, you need immediate, professional help.

Our team is equipped for rapid deployment to stabilize dangerous situations. Using our crane, we can carefully lift fallen timber off structures without causing further damage during the removal process.

Premium Firewood

Stay warm through the bitter Northern Michigan winters with our high-quality, seasoned hardwood. As a byproduct of our tree services, we recycle prime timber into premium firewood, reducing waste and providing a valuable resource to the community.

We offer mixed hardwoods including oak, maple, ash, and cherry. Our wood is split, seasoned for optimal burn times, and can be delivered and stacked directly on your property to keep you prepared for the cold months ahead.
