Tree Services We Offer in Monroe

Tree Removal

We remove dead, dying, and dangerous trees. Whether it's a backyard silver maple or a front-yard pine leaning toward the house, we take trees down safely and cleanly. Some need ropes and climbing. Some need cranes. We handle it.

Tree Pruning 

Most trees don’t need to come down. They just need shaping. We prune to remove dead limbs, give clearance to sidewalks and roofs, and help trees grow strong. This helps prevent storm damage down the line.

Stump Grinding 

Leftover stumps get in the way. We grind them down so you can plant, mow, or build. Pricing depends on how wide the stump is, but we’ll measure and give you a clear quote.

Storm Clean-Up 

After storms, we take care of broken branches, fallen trees, and limbs resting on roofs or fences. If wires are involved, we’ll coordinate with the right utility company. Our goal is to make your yard safe again.

Tree Work in Monroe

Tree service in Monroe has its quirks. We see:

  • Soft ground near the river that causes trees to lean

  • Dense older trees in Woodland Beach

  • Fast-growing trees near new homes south of town

  • Storm damage from Lake Erie winds

We also deal with local laws. If your tree is on an easement or near the road, there may be rules about trimming or removing it. We help you look up the city guidelines.

When People Call Us

Here’s what we hear the most:

  • "This tree is leaning."

  • "Branches are falling on the driveway."

  • "The tree looks half dead."

  • "We can’t see the street from our driveway."

  • "A storm knocked part of it down."

  • "There’s a stump in the way."

Whether it’s a small trim or a big removal, we’ll give you real advice. If you don’t need anything, we’ll tell you that, too.


What It Costs

Tree work depends on size, location, and what’s around it. A tree hanging over a garage costs more than one in an open yard. We do free estimates and explain the numbers. If you want to learn more you can check out our blog on this topic here:

Questions We Get

Can I cut it down myself? You can try. But most homeowners don’t have the gear or experience to do it safely. We’ve seen trees fall the wrong way, hit fences, or worse.

Can I keep the firewood? Yes. If you want the wood left behind, just ask. Some trees burn great (like oak and hickory), others not so much (like willow or cottonwood).

Does it need a permit? Sometimes. If it's a city-owned tree or close to a road, we’ll help you check that before we do anything.

Is it dead or just ugly? That’s hard to tell without looking. Garrison can spot signs of disease or decay and let you know if it’s worth saving.

FAQ

What’s the best time of year for tree removal in Monroe, MI? 

Tree work can be done year-round, but winter and early spring are best for removals and pruning since trees are dormant.

How do I know if my tree is dangerous? 

Warning signs include cracks in the trunk, dead branches, leaning, fungus at the base, or a thinning canopy. Garrison can take a look and give you a clear answer.

Does homeowners insurance cover tree removal? 

Sometimes. If a tree falls and causes damage, your policy might cover removal. If it’s just a dead tree, usually not. We recommend checking with your insurance company.
