For a single dead tree in a subdivision yard it usually does not apply, but for lot clearing it absolutely does. We check the ordinance before quoting clearing work here.
Common species here: Oak, shagbark hickory, black cherry, ash, and large white pine.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
DetailsBuilding, fencing, or reclaiming a back acre that went wild. We clear it, chip it, and haul it.
DetailsMost Rochester 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.

Oak, shagbark hickory, black cherry, ash, and large white pine. 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.
