We handle tree removal, trimming, pruning, stump grinding, stump removal, emergency tree service, land clearing, and forestry mulching for homeowners and properties across Grand Rapids and Kent County. We serve Heritage Hill, Easttown, Creston, Alger Heights, and surrounding suburbs including Kentwood, Wyoming, Walker, and Grandville. Every job starts with a written estimate so you know the full cost before a single cut is made.
We remove trees of all sizes across Grand Rapids and Kent County, from storm-damaged cottonwoods in Creston to mature oaks along Lake Drive in Heritage Hill. Grand Rapids does not require a permit for most standard residential removals. The job includes cutting, sectioning, and hauling away all debris. Cost typically runs $400 to $3,000 depending on tree size, access, and location relative to structures.
Trimming shapes and clears live branches for clearance from rooflines, power lines, and driveways. Pruning is more targeted, removing dead wood and correcting structure to improve a tree's long-term health. Both services are available across Grand Rapids neighborhoods including Easttown, Alger Heights, and the West Side. Most jobs run $200 to $900 depending on tree size and scope.
Stump grinding uses a mechanical grinder to take the stump below grade, leaving the root mass in the ground and producing wood chip mulch. Full stump removal pulls the stump and root ball entirely, which costs more but leaves a clean site for planting or construction. Grinding typically runs $100 to $400 per stump. Full removal runs $200 to $800 depending on stump diameter and root spread.
Grand Rapids ice storms from January through February and high-wind events through spring regularly drop trees onto roofs, driveways, and power lines. We respond to storm damage, fallen trees threatening structures, and hazard trees that need immediate attention. Emergency response runs $600 to $4,000 depending on size, access, and debris volume. Hazard assessment is part of every call.
Grand Rapids has specific tree challenges that generic operators miss. Oak wilt is active in Kent County and pruning oaks in the wrong season, April through July, can spread the disease to neighboring trees. Dutch elm disease has a history in this region and affects removal strategy. Ice storms hit Heritage Hill, Creston, and East Hills hard each winter, and we know which neighborhoods have overhead utility lines that require extra planning. Every estimate here is written, every price is confirmed before the first cut, and we do not walk off a job without finishing the cleanup.
Tree removal in Grand Rapids typically runs $400 to $3,000 per tree. A small tree under 25 feet usually costs $400 to $900. A medium tree in the 25 to 50 foot range runs $900 to $1,800. A large or difficult tree, such as a mature oak close to a structure, can reach $2,000 to $3,000 or more. Emergency work after ice storms adds a premium of 20 to 40 percent. Stump grinding adds $100 to $400 per stump. All prices include debris removal and site cleanup.

Stump grinding uses a machine to grind the stump down below grade, leaving the root mass in the ground. It produces wood chip mulch and is the faster, less expensive option. Full stump removal pulls the entire stump and root ball out of the ground. It costs more and leaves a larger hole to fill, but the site is completely clear for planting or construction.

Oak wilt is a fungal disease that kills oaks quickly and spreads through root connections between neighboring trees. In Kent County, pruning or wounding oaks from April through July creates entry points for the pathogen. We avoid pruning oaks during this window unless it is an emergency, and we use wound paint when cuts cannot be avoided.
Routine removals can usually be scheduled within one to two weeks depending on crew availability and job size. Emergency work after storm damage is prioritized and handled as soon as possible. We give you a realistic timeline at the estimate visit.
Yes. All debris, including cut logs, branches, and wood chips, is hauled away before the crew leaves unless you ask us to leave any of it. The site is clear when the job is done. If you want the wood for firewood or the chips for mulch, let us know at the estimate and we will stage what you want to keep.
