Your Locally Owned West Michigan Tree Crew

Licensed, insured, and verifiable

We carry current general-liability insurance and maintain workers' compensation appropriate to our crew, and we're glad to provide proof before any job begins. Michigan does not issue a statewide tree-specific contractor license, which is exactly why insurance and references matter so much — we encourage every homeowner to verify coverage for any tree company they consider hiring.

Standards-based tree care

Our pruning, removals, and risk assessments follow recognized arboricultural standards — ANSI A300 for tree-care practices and ANSI Z133 for safety. That means proper cuts, no topping, and methods chosen to protect people, property, and the tree.

Local expertise you can't fake

We track the issues that actually affect West Michigan trees: emerald ash borer decline, the oak wilt season, snow and ice loading, and storm patterns that come off the lake. That's the difference between a crew that just cuts and one that gives you the right recommendation for your property.

The people behind the work

When you call D & B Tree Service, you reach the people who actually do the work — not a call center and not a rotating cast of subcontractors. The same crew that gives you the free estimate is the crew in your yard and the one you see at the final walk-through. That continuity is how nothing gets lost between the quote and the cleanup, and it's why we stake our name and our neighbors' goodwill on every job. We are trained in modern climbing, rigging, and removal methods, we invest in the right equipment for tight and wooded lots, and we treat safety — ours and yours — as the first line on every job plan.

The West Michigan communities we serve

From our base in Howard City, MI, we cover a genuine working radius across Montcalm, Newaygo, Mecosta, and northern Kent counties — including Greenville, Cedar Springs, Newaygo, Big Rapids, and Rockford, plus dozens of smaller villages, lake communities, and rural roads in between. Because we live here too, we know which towns sit on soft ground, which back roads flood, and where the dead ash line the fencerows. See the full list on our service areas page.
