Tree Service in Harrisville, Michigan
Tree removal, ice-storm cleanup and shoreline tree work for Harrisville and the Lake Huron shore of Alcona County, from an owner-operated crew based in Lupton.
Harrisville is the Alcona County seat, a small town on the Lake Huron shore at the far northeast corner of our service area. The town lots have big old maples, the shore has cottages under cedar and wind-shaped hardwoods, and the country behind it is pine and oak with ash in the low ground. We cover Harrisville for tree removal, dead tree removal, storm cleanup, stump grinding and lot clearing. Call (989) 305-9731 for a free estimate, or send photos and we will call you back within a day.

The 2025 ice storm
Alcona County was under the state emergency declaration for the March 28 to 31, 2025 ice storm. Along the shore and back into the woods around Harrisville, ice broke tops out of pines, split hardwoods and left power out for weeks in places. Much of that damage is still in the trees: cracked leaders, hanging limbs, pines bent over and never straightened. Those are the trees that come down in the next wind, and taking them out on your schedule is a lot cheaper than taking them off your roof. Call (989) 305-9731 if you have ice-storm damage still hanging over a cottage or a drive.
Shore trees and town trees
Lake Huron wind shapes everything on the Harrisville shore. Cedar leans out over the bank, hardwoods grow lopsided away from the water, and the tall pines behind the cottages are the first to go in a storm. Shoreline trimming is careful work, because the cedar is often what is holding the bank; we trim back from the cottage rather than remove when that is the case. In town, the big yard maples come down from the bucket truck in pieces between the house and the wires.
Oak wilt, ash and permits
Oak wilt is confirmed in neighboring counties, and the statewide DNR no-prune window for oaks is April 15 to July 15, so oak trimming around Harrisville is dormant-season work. Emerald ash borer has killed the ash in the lowlands, and those brittle trunks come down from the bucket, not by climbing. Lots within 500 feet of the lake or a creek can need a soil erosion permit from Alcona County before stump grinding or grading, and every stump grind gets a MISS DIG 811 locate, which takes three business days.
Storm calls this far out
The storm line is (989) 305-9731, answered 24 hours a day in storm season. Trees on structures come first. If a tree is on the wire from the pole to the house, we arrange a temporary disconnect with your utility before we cut; under Consumers Energy's rules that service drop is the homeowner's responsibility, and the other utilities up here work much the same way.
Getting there
Harrisville is about 65 minutes from our home base in Lupton, the farthest regular run we make, and it is well past the 25-mile mark where a travel fee applies. We still come out for removals, storm work and lot clearing, and we schedule Harrisville together with Greenbush and Glennie jobs whenever we can to keep the travel cost down.
