We are a family-owned crew with a Holland office, and we cover the lakeshore from the neighborhoods around Lake Macatawa to the wooded lots stretching inland, where lake-effect weather off Lake Michigan is hard on trees.

Tree Risks to Watch in Holland
Oak wilt should decide when you prune oaks. The Michigan DNR advises against pruning oaks from April 15 to July 15, when the beetles that spread it are most active and an infected red oak can die within weeks, so we plan oak work for winter. Ash is the other concern, since emerald ash borer has killed tens of millions of Michigan ash trees since 2002, and dead ash only gets more dangerous to remove over time. Lake-effect snow and ice off Lake Michigan pile heavy loads on branches, so weak or overextended limbs are worth addressing before winter. If a tree comes down in a storm, our guide on what to do after a tree falls in Holland walks through the next steps.

What Does Tree Service Cost in Holland, MI?
Price comes down to the tree’s size and condition, how close it is to the house or power lines, and how much cleanup is involved. Around Holland, most small removals run $300 to $900, mid-size trees $900 to $1,800, and large or tight-access removals that need rigging or a crane $1,800 to $4,500 or more. Trimming is usually $200 to $800 per tree, and stump grinding adds $100 to $400. Lakeshore lots with limited access can sit at the higher end, so we confirm the price with a free on-site estimate.

FAQs About Tree Service in Holland
Can you remove a large tree on a tight lakeshore lot?
Yes. When there is no room to fell it whole, we take it down in sections with rigging, a lift, or crane assistance, and we protect the lawn and structures.
Do you remove ash trees killed by emerald ash borer?
Yes, and the sooner the better, since dead ash turns brittle and harder to take down safely over time.
How do I know if a storm-damaged tree needs to come down?
It depends where the damage is. Our guide on when a tree needs removal in Holland walks through how to tell, and we will assess it on site.
When should oaks be trimmed in Holland?
Winter, to avoid the April 15 to July 15 oak wilt window. A storm-broken oak limb is still a hazard, so call if one comes down.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency service on the lakeshore?
Yes, for fallen trees, hanging limbs, and storm damage, day or night, out of our Holland office.
Is the estimate really free?
Yes. We look at the tree first and give you a firm price with no obligation.
