Larry Reinhardt runs the bucket truck himself. The person who prices your job is the person who shows up to do it, and the number on this site rings his phone.
The right equipment on site
Forestry bucket truck with a chip box, tow-behind chipper, dump truck and dump trailer, plus rope and saddle for the trees a truck cannot reach.
Storm response
Trees on houses and across driveways go first. Call any hour during storm season and we will tell you honestly how soon we can be there.
Year-round work
Snow, mud or heat. Frozen ground in winter is often the best time for a big removal on a soft lawn, and the schedule is more open.
MISS DIG on every stump job
Michigan law requires a locate three business days before anything goes below grade. We file it, every time, on every grind.
Power lines handled properly
The service drop from the pole to your house is the homeowner's responsibility. We coordinate a temporary disconnect with Consumers Energy so nobody is working live.
Tree removal: dead pine at a commercial lotTree removal: topping a tall hardwood spar beside a log cabinTree removal: large hardwoods at a cottage, logs buckedTree removal: park job seen from the bucketTree removal: winter job seen from the bucketTree removal: leaning hardwood on a lakeshore
These are the ranges most jobs in our area land in, not a price list. Every job is priced on site or from your photos, in writing, before anything is cut.
What moves a price most is access, not species: a tree the bucket truck can reach from the driveway costs less than the same tree behind a cottage that has to be climbed and roped out over a roof. Working close to a structure or a wire typically adds 25 to 50 percent.
We are a young company and we would rather show nothing than make something up.
Ask Larry for references when he comes out, and if we do
work for you, a review helps the next neighbor find us.
Whether tree removal needs a permit in Michigan: private rural lots, lake and river frontage, road right-of-way, and how Iosco and Ogemaw townships handle it.
The Michigan DNR says do not prune oaks April 15 to July 15. Why the window exists, what to do if a limb breaks in summer, and the best months for oak work.
