Expert Tree Removal & Tree Service Services in Lansing

J.E. Excavating & Grading provides professional tree removal & tree service services throughout Lansing and Ingham County. As Michigan's state capital, Lansing features a diverse mix of residential neighborhoods, government facilities, and commercial districts. As a urban community, Lansing deals with hazardous, dead, and storm-damaged trees that pose risks to homes, power lines, and people if they're not removed safely and completely.

Why Lansing Properties Need Tree Removal & Tree Service

Lansing experiences cold, snowy winters with average snowfall of 52 inches annually, making winter services essential for residents and businesses. Dead and damaged trees fall without warning, and Michigan's ice storms and high winds can bring them down on your home, vehicles, or family. Leaning trees, trees with split trunks, and those with significant deadwood need professional removal before they cause damage that insurance may not fully cover.

The Lansing area features predominantly clay and loam soils, which can present drainage challenges and require proper grading techniques. Our experience working in Ingham County means we understand the local conditions and how to address them effectively.

Our Tree Removal & Tree Service Process

We fell trees using directional cutting techniques to control where they drop, then process the trunk and limbs for removal. For trees near structures or power lines, we use sectional dismantling with an excavator to lower pieces safely. We handle the full cleanup including log removal and brush chipping. Every project in Lansing receives personalized attention from owner Jarod, who oversees work from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Removal & Tree Service

How much does tree removal cost in mid-Michigan?
Tree removal costs depend on size, location, and complexity. Small trees (under 30 feet) typically cost $300 to $800. Medium trees (30 to 60 feet) run $800 to $2,000. Large trees near structures or power lines can cost $2,000 to $5,000 or more due to the rigging and care required.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree on my property in Michigan?
Most Michigan townships do not require permits for removing trees on private residential property. However, some municipalities and homeowner associations have tree ordinances protecting certain species or sizes. Check with your local township before removing large healthy trees.
What happens to the wood after tree removal?
You can keep the firewood if you want it; we'll cut logs to length and stack them. Otherwise, we haul everything away. Brush gets chipped and trunks go to a disposal site. We can also leave the wood chips on site for use as mulch in garden beds.
