Ranges, not quotes. Access, proximity to the house, and whether we can drop wood or have to rig every piece are what move the price. Full pricing guide →
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 Livonia 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. There is no Michigan-wide permit for removing a tree on your own private property, so it comes down to what Livonia requires. The one rule that holds everywhere is that the tree between the sidewalk and the street is the city's tree, not yours, and the city handles it. On your own lot the restrictions that exist usually key on tree size or on a mapped woodland rather than on an ordinary yard tree. We check the Livonia ordinance before we quote. If the tree is an active hazard, emergency removal runs on its own track.
Emergency calls in Livonia, 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.
Silver maple, ash, Norway maple, pin oak with chlorosis. 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.
