"Ruben and his crew arrived early, and completed the job in under an hour. They cut down three trees, and trimmed a very tall Maple. They also shredded many branches I had already trimmed from trees in my yard. They are a very coordinated, capable, and pleasant crew. I would recommend them to anyone for tree service. Thank you to Angi for recommending them for my job."

"Called in the morning to schedule removal of two 30 foot arborvites. They said it could be done that day. By 5:00 pm the trees were gone, the area was cleaned up and the trees were hauled away in a very timely manner. Would highly recommend for tree / landscaping work."

Customers say: Quick response

"Before Stump Brothers, I had SO much trouble trying to get anyone to even consider my apple tree removal. Josh reached out with a quote within the first 10 minutes it was requested and was able to get me on the schedule within the week! He gave a variety of convenient payment options and he was reliably communicative. Randall came out to do the project, and my goodness, the man is both a beast with a chain saw and a delicate ballerina. Those tree limbs were floating to the ground; this man is an artist. He had the whole thing done and cleaned up faster than my comforter could finish it’s wash cycle. I 100% recommend"

"Max and Taylor were awesome to work with! They came out to remove a big tree in my front yard and did stump grinding too. The whole crew was super friendly, professional, and got everything done quickly. Their customer service was excellent from start to finish — great communication, fair pricing, and just really nice people to work with. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone needing tree work done! We will be using Big Lake Tree Service again in the future! Thank you."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

In MI, tree service contractors include certified arborists, tree removal specialists, tree trimming professionals, and emergency storm response crews. Look for contractors with credentials from the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and relevant industry certifications. Always confirm insurance coverage and request recent local references to ensure you're hiring a reputable expert for your tree service needs.

Helpful?

In Flint, permits are generally required for tree removal, especially for trees over 6 inches in diameter or any street trees. The Flint Parks & Recreation Department oversees these permits, and certain protected species may have additional restrictions under the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Always verify current regulations with both city and state authorities before starting tree removal or tree trimming projects to ensure compliance.

Helpful?

In Flint, unexpected issues during tree service can include permit requirements, additional debris removal, or complications from protected tree species regulated by the Flint Parks & Recreation Department. Damage to underground utilities—if not properly marked by 811—may also result in extra work. Handling diseased or invasive trees can require special disposal, and emergency tree removal often involves more complex logistics and coordination with city officials.

Helpful?

In Flint, safety is critical when performing tree service. Always inspect for overhead power lines and contact DTE Energy if work is near utilities. Before stump grinding or digging, call 811 to locate underground lines. Secure the work area to protect pedestrians and vehicles, especially for street tree removal. Following Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines and using proper protective equipment is essential for safe tree trimming and removal.

Helpful?

In MI, homeowners often underestimate the complexity of tree removal or tree trimming, attempting dangerous work themselves or hiring uninsured contractors. Skipping permit applications with the Flint Parks & Recreation Department or ignoring protected species regulations from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources can lead to fines. Consulting a certified arborist and confirming all local requirements before starting helps prevent costly errors and ensures safe, legal tree service.
