📞 269-383-7895
✅ DO THIS
🏠 Stay out of the affected area
Keep family and pets away from downed trees and hanging branches. Even a tree that looks stable can shift or drop without warning.
⚡ Call 911 if wires are involved
If a tree has brought down power lines, call emergency services first. Do not approach or attempt to move anything near downed wires.
📸 Document the damage
Take photos from a safe distance for your insurance claim before any work begins. Good documentation speeds up the claims process significantly.
📞 Call Roots
The sooner you call, the sooner we can get out to you. We prioritize hazardous situations and respond as quickly as our schedule allows.
⚠️ DO NOT DO THIS
Don't try to remove the tree yourself — storm-damaged trees are under unpredictable tension and can move suddenly.
Don't climb on your roof to assess damage while the tree is still there — that's our job.
Don't cut limbs you can't see fully — hidden tension in branches causes serious kickback injuries.
Don't assume the tree is stable because it stopped moving — root systems can shift hours after the storm.
Don't wait too long to call — the longer a tree sits on your roof or fence, the more secondary damage can occur.
How It Works
Our Clearing Process
Land clearing is a big job. Here's exactly what to expect when you work with Roots.
SITUATIONS WE HANDLE
Every Storm Situation, Handled Safely
No two storm jobs are alike. Here's what we deal with most often across southwest Michigan.
The most urgent situation. We get the tree off safely without causing additional structural damage — using our crane and bucket truck to control every piece of the removal.
Inherited a property or bought land that hasn't been maintained in years? We've cleared everything from chest-high brush to full woodland — and we'll get yours back to usable condition.
Trees on fences we handle directly. Trees touching or on power lines — we work alongside your utility company to remove the tree safely once lines are de-energized.
A fully uprooted tree is unstable and can settle in unexpected ways. We assess the situation before making any cuts and remove it in a controlled, methodical sequence.
Can't get your car out? We clear downed branches and debris from driveways and access points quickly so you can get back to normal as fast as possible.
After the immediate hazards are handled, we come back to clean up the rest — scattered branches, wood debris, and anything the storm left behind across your property.
