Tree service in Grand Rapids, MI

City lots in Grand Rapids mean big trees with houses, garages, fences and neighbors close on every side. That's where crane-assisted removal earns its keep: sections are lifted out instead of dropped, which is safer for your property and faster. Absolute Tree Service covers downtown, the West Side, Walker and Standale, and the north and east suburbs.

Crane-assisted removal in Grand Rapids

Grand Rapids' older neighborhoods are full of mature oaks and maples that were planted generations ago and now tower over the houses around them. Many streets also lost their ash trees to the emerald ash borer, and the dead ones that are still standing get more brittle every year. When there's no clear space to drop a tree, the crew rigs each section, the crane lifts it over the house or fence, and it's cut up on the ground where it's safe to work.

Crane work also means less wear on your yard. There's less dragging of heavy wood across the lawn, and fewer limbs dropping onto gardens, patios and fences.

Planning your job

Our home base is in Muskegon, so tell us your ZIP code and a little about the tree when you call. Photos of the whole tree and the space around it help Josh plan the equipment and the trip before the free estimate.

If you have oaks, timing matters. Michigan State University Extension advises against pruning or wounding oaks from April 15 to July 15, when oak wilt spreads most easily. If an oak needs work during those months because it's a safety problem, talk it through with Josh at the estimate.
