Tree removal
Arbor Valley Tree Service is equipped for all types of tree removal. We have highly specialized equipment suited for hazardous or difficult tree removals. We are one of the few companies in the Ann Arbor/Washtenaw County area to have a crane in our fleet. When we are able to incorporate this piece of equipment, we are capable of removing trees or large limbs that are over vulnerable landscape plantings, buildings, pools and even enclosed in decking; all without having to lower the limbs and logs down and damage these valuable assets. We use highly specialized portable, lightweight man-lifts to safely reach the most difficult locations and carefully perform our work. These pieces of equipment greatly increase the safety and reduce the workload of our workers. These two pieces of equipment along with the trained personnel of our staff allow us to safely perform some jobs that our competitors will not even attempt. Safety is number one at Arbor Valley. We do not take chances with your property or our workers. You will be happy with your choice if you hire us for your tree service needs.
Tree trimming
Proper tree trimming will help your trees live longer and promote healthier growth. Arbor Valley uses recommended tree trimming practices wherever possible to allow natural growth to heal the wounds and reduce pest intrusion and decay. Utilizing our fleet of unique equipment, we are able to perform tree trimming more efficiently then our competitors.
Oak Trees should be trimmed between November and April to reduce the possibility of infection by oak wilt pathogens.
Most Flowering trees set their buds the year before they bloom. Therefore, they should be trimmed within 3 weeks after they bloom to avoid impacting the following years flowers.
Stump removal
Stump grinding is the process of removing a stump that is still in the ground with minimal disruption of the surrounding area. This process is highly recommended following a trees removal. Machines in use today can fit through a 36” gate and will shred a stump into a pile of mulch using a carbide tipped cutter wheel. We grind stumps in Ann Arbor and Washtenaw Country as well as the surrounding area.
Storm damage
In Washtenaw County, you never know what kind of weather is around the corner. Tree wind damage is very common to the area. The occasional ice storm can also wreck havoc on your trees, shrubs, and other valuable property. The experts at Arbor Valley Tree Service have years of experience with trees that have been damaged in storms. Often trees are in precarious situations that should not be handled by inexperienced workers, many times the hidden dangers are not apparent to the average person. Arbor Valley will assess the situation and inform you if the utility company should be involved. We will use all means available to reduce further damage to your trees and property.

Crane work
Having a crane in our fleet makes many tree removal (and some trimming) projects a much cleaner operation. When we can use this piece of equipment, it is amazing how little the surrounding area is disrupted. When we are able to be lift heavy limbs and wood up and out of an area, it is much easier on the landscape than if we have to lower and then carry or drag them out through plants, gates, decks etc. This also can make these jobs safer for the workers as there is less lifting involved. We are able to remove an entire dead hazardous tree, growing through a deck, leaving only sawdust as evidence that we were there.
We also offer our crane for daily rental. We provide crane rental in Ann Arbor and Washtenaw Country as well as the surrounding area. To inquiry on availability and costs, please contact us today
