"I highly recommend Bladimir Tree Service the work he and his crew provided my family in Lathrup Village. Bladimir responded to my RFQ for multiple tree removals and stump grinding. The quote was provided very timely and was reasonable for the level of work required. One tree was over 60' tall with huge branches, while the other 2 were large overgrown cedar trees. The team showed up punctually and with all their equipment in tow, and after review of the plan, immediately started to work. I did not need to supervise or micro manage, the work was preformed efficiently, safely, and orderly. The cleanup was marvelously done, and grinding was to specification. No complaints, only praise and kudos for this hard working crew. I absolutely would hire Bladimir should I need future tree services."

"This company is top notch. Price was fair, the crew was efficient, they were constantly cleaning up debris, they made me feel comfortable they knew their job and I made the right decision in hiring them. I had 2 very large trees including one close to power lines. Would definitely hire this company again and so should you."

"I would certainly recommend Independence. They did a great job trimming exactly the branches I wanted removed. They cleaned out the dead wood and were very careful not to damage the bushes below or my lawn. They were very professional and cleaned every thing up nicely. All at a very reasonable price."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

To have a fallen tree removed near your home, you can expect to pay between $100 to $500. Your local tree removal professional will most likely just need to cut and remove the tree from your property, but factors like the size of the tree and its trunk diameter impact this cost. In addition, there will be an extra cost to fill in the hole left by the tree, and while you have your tree removal specialist on-site, it might be worth it to have them inspect the other trees in your yard for potential damage. Trees that have fallen onto your home or another structure, will likely be more costly to remove.

Each tree is unique (example: location in the yard or wires run through the tree).

Your local government is usually in charge of pruning trees on public property, and the power company is responsible for trees near power lines (even if they’re on your property). Whether or not they top these trees depends on their approach to pruning. You won’t be able to do much to control this, but you can contact them to find out more about their pruning process.

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.

Yes, forestry mulching can grind stumps, but the level of effectiveness depends on the equipment used. Drum mulchers can break down smaller stumps, but larger or deep-rooted stumps may require a dedicated stump grinder for complete removal. If full stump removal is necessary for replanting or construction, additional excavation may be needed. Always check with your forestry mulching provider to confirm whether they offer stump grinding and if their equipment is suitable for your specific needs.

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.
