Tree Service Frequently Asked Questions

Are you licensed and insured? 

Yes. We are TCIA Accredited, fully bonded, and insured. This is critical for homeowners, as hiring an unlicensed company can make you liable for damages or accidents that occur on your property during the job. 

Do you provide emergency tree removal? 

Absolutely. We offer 24/7 emergency services for the Michigan storm season. Whether a tree has fallen on your roof, car, or driveway, our crane and rigging experts are available for same-day service to secure your property. 

Why is professional tree pruning necessary?

Pruning removes diseased, broken, or dead branches that can harbor fungi and infect the rest of the tree. It also improves the tree’s structure, protecting your landscape from storm damage and falling limbs. 

How do you handle stump removal? 

We use specialized stump grinding machinery to safely remove unsightly and hazardous stumps. In most cases, we can cut the stump to the ground for free before grinding, ensuring a smooth and safe landscape. 

Do you clean up the mess after a tree is removed? 

Yes. Unlike companies that leave debris behind, we provide full lot and lawn clearing. We ensure your landscape looks beautiful and clean immediately following our work, removing all wood and waste from the site. 

At what age should I start having my trees pruned? 

It is best to start when trees are still young. Regular pruning at an early stage promotes a healthy basic branch structure, which ensures the tree lives longer and grows in a balanced, safe manner. 

How does pruning improve the appearance of my landscape? 

Trimming and pruning regulate airflow and leaf growth, keeping the tree’s physiological needs at optimal levels. This results in a more symmetrical, “happy,” and healthy-looking tree that complements your property’s aesthetics. 

What is deep root fertilization, and how does it differ from standard lawn feeding? 

Unlike surface fertilizers that often only reach your grass, deep root fertilization delivers specialized natural nutrients directly to the tree’s root system. This method ensures the tree receives the essential minerals it needs without chemical interference, promoting long-term structural health. 

Why is it important to fertilize trees and shrubs in Livonia? 

In residential landscapes, trees often compete with grass for nutrients. Fertilization is essential to help your plants thrive rather than just survive. Providing high-quality fertilizer granules ensures your trees grow strong and maintain their aesthetic appeal. 

Is Ball Moss/Fungus harmful to my property? 

Yes. Beyond being an eyesore, it can become a breeding ground for additional fungi. Once the spores spread under the soil, they can affect the health of your entire lawn or garden, potentially leading to widespread damage that is much harder to treat.
