Residential Tree Services Company Livonia, MI

Providing residential tree services requires careful planning, preparation, and execution to ensure safety, precision work, and great results. Here is an overview of what you can expect when you choose our team for your tree service needs:

Initial Consultation and Planning

The first step is for our ISA Certified Arborist to survey your property and examine all trees slated for work. We assess the variety, height, width, density, condition, and growing environment.

This allows us to determine the scope of work and specific techniques required for optimal outcomes. We also identify risks to be mitigated, environmental obstacles, and any diseased limbs or other issues necessitating treatment.

With a complete understanding of the tree project parameters, we then discuss your goals and preferred results.

Some homeowners want neatly manicured trees while others prefer a more natural look. Some have safety concerns requiring priority while others need to accommodate certain yard features.

Taking all of this into account allows us to create a custom tree service plan covering all details from the work process, equipment, and crew size to estimated timelines and pricing.

We walk you through what to expect so there are no surprises. Your acceptance of the recommended plan kicks off the scheduling process.

Preparing the Property for Service

To enable efficient, safe operations, some preliminary property preparation by the homeowner is required in advance of the scheduled work. This includes:

• Removing or securing breakable yard items that could be impacted by falling debris
• Ensuring safe accessibility and working space around all sides of the trees
• Possibly trimming peripheral trees/shrubs that are obstructing necessary access points
• Providing visible property lines denoting specific boundaries/easements

We send a checklist defining requirements so you can proactively prepare. For an additional fee, our team can complete these tasks for you. Proper property prep makes a big difference in allowing an optimized process.

Service Day Execution

Once the scheduled day arrives, our team implements the agreed-upon residential tree service plan with precision and care. You can expect the following:

Site Arrival – The crew arrives with all necessary commercial-grade equipment. The certified arborist in charge reassesses work zone parameters and connects with the homeowner to address last minute questions. Look for our recognizable Tree Service trucks and uniforms.

Staging Equipment – Trucks, wood chippers, aerial lifts, chainsaws, rigging hardware and other gear is strategically set up to enable clear workspace allowing safe, efficient movements. Traffic control devices are installed if needed.

Safety Checkpoints – Before climbing, cutting or rigging begins, the work zone is secured and personnel briefed. All tree hazards are reconfirmed. Proper safety gear for the tasks at hand is mandated for crew members.

Trimming and Pruning – Handsaws, chainsaws and other implements are utilized to selectively remove problematic, damaged or invasive branches. Care is taken to retain structural integrity, natural shape and aesthetic appeal per homeowner parameters. Debris is progressively removed from the property.

Tree Removal – For full tree removal, controlled takedown techniques are implemented to carefully fell the tree while safeguarding people, structures and desired peripheral plantings. Stump grinding or removal follows. Crews work to minimize planting area disturbances.

Site Restoration – Upon finishing, a final inspection ensures all tree work meets expectations. Any incidental property damage is repaired. The work zone is cleaned up and debris hauled off. If requested, new landscape elements are installed.

Post-Service Follow-Up

Within a week of completing the residential tree service, our arborist reconnects to walk the property.

This allows you to ask questions, confirm satisfaction, and get guidance on maintenance items or issues to watch going forward. We want to be sure project goals are fully met and no problems develop.

Additionally, at appropriate seasonal intervals, we can provide complementary tree care updates with recommendations on fertilization, pruning, and other needs to keep your urban forest thriving on your property. Ongoing tree health and safety for your home is our top priority.
