All Services
Our mission statement at DeWitt Tree Care is to preserve native Michigan trees as often as we can. We are able to let you know what kind of trees you have and what might be wrong with them. Sometimes healthy trees can be salvaged with structural pruning, a plant health care regimen, or supplemental supports such as cabling. We will always give you our best advice and honest feedback to help you decide what is best for your trees!
Tree Removal
Our expert climbers and a backyard bucket lift can tackle almost any removal. We are skilled in technical rigging practices that can get your tree on the ground safely! This option includes our signature 5 star clean up (given the yard conditions allow for us to do so)
note: We will cry if you make us remove perfectly healthy White Oaks and Sugar Maples so you can grow more grass in your yard.
Tree Felling / No Clean Up
This option is pretty self explanatory. As stated this option does not include clean up and is perfect for the DIY Homeowner who wants to save a couple bucks and doesn’t mind getting sweaty. We will get the trees on the ground and then you take care of the rest.
Tree Pruning
WE LOVE TREES and have studied the best practices to prune your trees for health and aesthetics. We can also remove those massive widow makers and dead branches over your children’s sandbox.
Shrub Management / Ornamental Pruning
We don’t just do the big trees will also provide a wide range of bush and shrub management along with delicate pruning of ornamental trees! We guarantee that at least one member of our team will spend entirely too much time making sure your hedges and small trees are pruned evenly.
Plant Health Care
Do you think your tree is sick? Has your tree changed in appearance? Are you noticing mushrooms or other anomalies? Its best to alert an arborist to your tree concerns sooner rather than later. Many tree ailments are remedied with a plant health care regimen if addressed early enough. We’d love to help you get your tree back to a healthy state by consulting and prescribing various treatments.
Land Clearing
Our arsenal of equipment allow us to accommodate many land clearing jobs. Whether you’re looking to build on a forested area, or eliminate your hideous invasive buckthorn hedge, Dewitt Tree Care has you covered! Let us know if you want to keep the chips otherwise Chris is happy to use them to make the jumps on his track bigger!
Tree Risk Assessments
We staff several ISA certified arborists that are qualified to do Tree Risk Assessments. We recommend this consulting services for potentially hazardous trees and prevention plans for injury/property damage due to tree failure. This is a great service to consider if you have large trees in high occupancy locations, or you are concerned about the health of your tree after a major weather event
Tree Support Systems
Depending on the situation we might recommend combinations of bolting and steel cable to support limbs at risk of failure in large trees. We also utilize dynamic cabling, a modern practice that does not open the tree up to disease and infection, and allows the tree to move freely while limiting the risk of limb failure, a great choice for those trying to be proactive with trees that have poor structure.
Lightning Protection
Our lightning protection systems use copper conductions to reduce tree damage and side flashes. Often times when lighting strikes a tree it can ‘jump’ to nearby conductive materials like downspouts or other metal objects. Any large trees within 10 feet of your home should be considered for lightning protection.
