"The crew did an incredible job clearing our backyard. We purchased a home that had been vacant for a while and the backyard had become extremely overgrown with a maze of dead trees and stumps everywhere. Jeremy approached the project with a "no big deal" attitude and kept us updated with many pictures and videos throughout the process. They did such a fantastic job, we highly recommend them for any forestry needs."

I take care of the dirty, heavy work that homeowners and contractors don't want to handle around Monroe, Adrian, and the surrounding areas. With a heavy-duty F-250 and a big hydraulic dump trailer, we do everything from ripping out old kitchens and tearing down sheds to clearing overgrown brush, grading land, and cleaning out gutters. We don't just show up, smash things, and leave a mess—we handle the full demolition, pack up the trailer, and haul every piece of trash straight to the landfill so your property is completely clean and ready for whatever's next. If you need a job done fast, safely, and without the corporate hassle, give me a call.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are a few general rules to follow that will help you prune your trees correctly. One of the most important rules is to prune during the correct season for the type of tree you have. Typically, pruning should be during late winter. For younger trees, you should not remove more than a ⅓ of the tree's crown when pruning. Also, remember to remove dead and diseased branches first, then proceed with pruning the rest of the tree.

It depends on where you live—but in most areas, leaves begin falling in September and continue falling until January or February. Warmer regions, such as Southern states, may see leaves fall a bit later in the calendar year. It also depends on the type of trees in your yard and their maturity. 

Poison oak is similar to poison ivy in that it's in the same family of plants. Poison oak is identifiable by its rounded-off leaves and hairy leaf texture. Tree-climbing varieties live primarily in western states while low-growing poison oak bushes occupy the eastern states. Treat poison oak like poison ivy to get rid of it permanently.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

A grafted tree is a tree grown by combining two trees. It takes expertise. Branches from grafted trees don’t grow strong roots. Save yourself the time and frustration by having an arborist help you with this advanced project.  

You can often tell if a tree is grafted because it will have a noticeable line. Above the line, the bark will look different than it does below the line. It’s most common with fruit trees.
