If a tree is on your house, on a car, or blocking your driveway, call and we will dispatch. If it is touching a power line, stay 30 feet back and call DTE at 800-477-4747 first. We handle the tree, they handle the line. After a big windstorm every crew in Metro Detroit is buried, and priority goes to structures and blocked access.
Send a photo and a few details. Most quotes back same day.

Tree removal detailsGood pruning is invisible. You should not be able to tell we were there except that the tree looks balanced and the branches are off your roof.
Tree trimming detailsThat stump is a tripping hazard, a mower killer, and a nursery for carpenter ants. Grinding takes about an hour and you get your yard back.
Stump grinding detailsTree on the house at 2am. Limb across the driveway before work. Trunk hung up in the neighbor's maple. Call and we will get a crew moving.
Emergency service detailsAfter the wind stops, the dangerous part is what is still hanging up there. Broken limbs caught in the canopy come down on their own schedule.
Storm cleanup detailsBuilding, fencing, or reclaiming a back acre that went wild. The crew clears it, chips it, and hauls it.
Lot clearing detailsMost Farmington Hills removals run $450 to $3,200. Small ornamentals under 30 feet are $450 to $800, mature 30 to 60 foot trees are $900 to $1,600, and large oaks or pines over 60 feet run $1,800 and up. Access matters a lot here. If a bucket truck can reach the tree from the driveway the job is cheaper than if everything has to be climbed and rigged out through a side yard.
Sometimes, and in Oakland County it depends more on your parcel than on your city. Michigan sets no statewide permit for taking down a tree on your own property, so the rule is local. Farmington Hills regulates woodland and landmark trees on many parcels. Two things are constant: the tree in the strip between the sidewalk and the street belongs to Farmington Hills, not to you, and the ordinances that do exist are aimed at platted woodlands, landmark trees, and large wooded parcels far more than at an ordinary back-yard maple. We read the current Farmington Hills ordinance before quoting and tell you plainly what applies. A tree that is an immediate hazard is handled as an emergency and does not wait on paperwork.
Emergency calls in Farmington Hills, meaning a tree on a house, a car, or blocking a driveway, get a crew dispatched same day, 24 hours a day. Standard removals and pruning are usually scheduled within a week.
White and red oak, hickory, ash, sugar maple, and mature spruce. Ash removal is still steady work across all of Metro Detroit because emerald ash borer killed most untreated ash and dead ash gets more dangerous and more expensive to take down every year it stands.

Every crew we send carries general liability and workers compensation, and you get the certificate before work starts. Ask any company that quotes you for the same document. If they hesitate, that is your answer.
