Services & Process

Highland Tree Services handles the core work most Ann Arbor property owners need: tree removal for dead, diseased, or hazardous trees, trimming to maintain clearance from rooflines and power lines, and stump grinding to clear space after a removal. Tree trimming isn't just cosmetic. Done correctly, it removes weak branches before Michigan's ice storms can snap them. They can also assess trees showing signs of stress, helping you decide whether a tree is worth saving or needs to come down.

Service Area

Highland Tree Services is based in Ann Arbor and serves properties throughout the city and surrounding Washtenaw County communities. Whether you're near the Old West Side, Burns Park, or in one of the townships just outside city limits, they're worth a call for local tree work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Ann Arbor require a permit to remove a tree on my property?
Yes, Ann Arbor has a tree removal ordinance that requires a permit for removing certain trees on private property, particularly those above a specific trunk diameter. It's worth checking with the city or asking your tree service provider before any work begins, since violations can result in fines.
How much does tree removal typically cost in Ann Arbor?
Costs vary significantly based on tree size, location, and how complex the removal is. A small tree in an open yard might run a few hundred dollars, while a large oak close to a structure can cost well over a thousand. Getting two or three quotes is always a good idea.
What's the best time of year to trim trees in Michigan?
Late winter, while trees are still dormant, is generally the best time for pruning most species. It reduces stress on the tree and lowers the risk of disease or pest infestation through fresh cuts. That said, dead or hazardous branches should be removed whenever they're identified.
Can a tree service help after storm damage in Ann Arbor?
Yes, most local tree services handle emergency storm cleanup, including removing fallen trees from roofs, clearing blocked driveways, and cutting up downed limbs. Michigan's ice storms and summer storms regularly cause this kind of damage, so many providers prioritize urgent calls during storm season.
Do I need to be home when the tree crew comes out?
For the initial estimate, it helps to be present so you can point out exactly what you want done and ask questions. For the actual work, it depends on the job. Some homeowners leave once they've walked the crew through the project, while others prefer to stay, especially for larger removals near the house.
What happens to the wood and debris after a tree is removed?
Most tree services will haul everything away as part of the job, though you should confirm this when getting your quote since some charge separately for debris removal. If you heat with a wood stove, you can often ask them to cut the trunk into rounds and leave the wood for you instead.
