Tree Removal & Trimming Services

While we love trees and want to maintain them in the best possible way, we understand that it’s sometimes necessary to remove them. That’s why Christian Brothers offers tree removal near you in West Michigan.

If removal is necessary, we undertake the task safely, professionally, efficiently, and with minimal disruption. Some of the reasons you may need to remove a tree include:

Dead trees: Dead trees become brittle and weak, posing a risk to other trees and structures around them. They can also exacerbate the risk of wildfires in heavily wooded areas because their dry wood acts as kindling for loose sparks.

Diseased trees: This includes pests, fungi, and other sources of disease. While some diseased trees can be saved if only a few branches are affected, it’s sometimes better to remove them. This is especially true if there are risks of the disease spreading to other trees.

Fall risks: Trees that are too close to roadways, homes, and other structures can cause damage if the tree falls and lands on top of it. While pruning can help some lopsided trees balance themselves, removal may be the only option in more severe situations.

While nobody necessarily wants to remove a tree that’s healthy and not a risk, Christian Brothers can meet your residential and commercial tree removal needs. Since we have a bucket truck and a climber with over 10 years of experience on staff, we can also remove your tree by climbing and topping it if necessary.

Tree Trimming in West Michigan

In addition to offering tree removal, Christian Brothers also provides tree trimming near you. We specialize in trimming trees away from homes, power lines, and other structures and can help the tree look healthier in the process.

In addition to trimming standard deciduous and evergreen trees, the Christian Brothers team also specializes in pruning ornamental and fruit-bearing trees.

Stump Grinding

Often treated as an afterthought compared to tree removal, stump grinding is essential for restoring your yard to its intended beauty. It also acts as a deterrent for pests like ants and hornets and minimizes potential tripping hazards.

Our experts use a specialized stump grinder to chip the stump down to below ground level. This way, you can fill the space where the stump once stood with dirt so grass can grow in its place.

Lot Clearing

For lots and parcels of land that are overgrown with thick brush or trees, it may be practical to utilize our lot-clearing services. This is true for everything from commercial land development to clearing space on your property for a deer stand.

Working with Christian Brothers allows you to clear the lot systematically and remove any remaining stumps, overgrown roots, and potential holes.

Storm Damage Cleanup

We hope you never have to use this service. However, if a large branch or an entire tree is damaged or falls in your yard during a storm, Christian Brothers can help with the cleanup process.
