Firewood near HaleHow you pay
You pay when the job is done
No money up front. You pay when the job is done and you are happy with it.
Plenty of tree companies want a deposit before a saw comes off the truck, and after a big storm that is exactly how people around here get burned: money changes hands, the crew never comes back, and there is nothing to hold on to. We do it the other way round. You keep your money until the work is finished and you have looked at it.
We price it, free and in writing
On site or from your photos, itemized, good through the date on it. Nothing is due to get an estimate and nothing is due to accept one.
We do the work
On the day we said, with the equipment we said. Nothing is due to hold a spot on the schedule.
You walk the yard with us
Before the truck pulls away. If a rut needs raking out or a limb got missed, say so and we fix it then and there.
Then the invoice comes
Cash or check, due within 14 days. That invoice is the only time we ask you for money.
Before you hire anybody
Ask for a certificate of insurance and a written price, and be careful with anyone who wants cash up front and pressures you to decide today. We wrote up what to look for: should you pay a tree service up front?
Why people call us back
A local crew with the right truck for it
Owner-operated
Larry Reinhardt runs the bucket truck himself. The person who prices your job is the person who shows up to do it, and the number on this site rings his phone.
The right equipment on site
Forestry bucket truck with a chip box, tow-behind chipper, dump truck and dump trailer, plus rope and saddle for the trees a truck cannot reach.
Storm response
Trees on houses and across driveways go first. Call any hour during storm season and we will tell you honestly how soon we can be there.
Year-round work
Snow, mud or heat. Frozen ground in winter is often the best time for a big removal on a soft lawn, and the schedule is more open.
MISS DIG on every stump job
Michigan law requires a locate three business days before anything goes below grade. We file it, every time, on every grind.
Power lines handled properly
The service drop from the pole to your house is the homeowner's responsibility. We coordinate a temporary disconnect with Consumers Energy so nobody is working live.

What it costs
Straight answers on price
These are the ranges most jobs in our area land in, not a price list. Every job is priced on site or from your photos, in writing, before anything is cut.
What moves a price most is access, not species: a tree the bucket truck can reach from the driveway costs less than the same tree behind a cottage that has to be climbed and roped out over a roof. Working close to a structure or a wire typically adds 25 to 50 percent.
