Four 70-foot oaks removed from a wooded lot, crane-assisted, no fence damage.
Lake Orion sits in the heart of Oakland County's outdoor belt — Bald Mountain Recreation Area, the Polly Ann Trail, and a chain of lakes the whole village grew up around. Mature hardwoods, willows over the water, woods that touch the lakes. Pontiac firefighter-owned. 10 minutes from our Pontiac shop.
Lake Orion's housing stock is wrapped in trees. The village itself sits on a peninsula between Lake Orion and Square Lake; the subdivisions north and east push into wooded terrain that's still part Bald Mountain Recreation Area watershed. Most properties have big mature trees on three sides of the house.
That density means more removal work than most cities — trees fail, fall, get hit by storms, get too close to the house. It also means more pruning work — homeowners proactively manage canopy because there's so much of it. And lakefront willow work is its own thing here: willows over docks, over boathouses, into the water.
We're 8 miles from Lake Orion's village center. Faster response on emergency calls than most Oakland County cities.
From the Village of Lake Orion out to Indianwood and Keatington, around the Lake Orion shoreline, north into the Bald Mountain recreation corridor — the city is one of the most heavily-treed in Oakland County and the lots prove it. We also serve next-door Auburn Hills, Rochester Hills, and Clarkston.
Lake Orion catches the Lake Erie storm corridor with full force — open water + wooded terrain = more wind, more falling limbs. Lakefront properties take the brunt. Inland subdivisions also see consistent storm damage during the June supercell season.
We staff up before storm season and respond first-in, first-out. Lake Orion's proximity to our Pontiac shop means faster on-site times.

Lake Orion job complexity varies; the workflow does not.
Foreman walks the lot — Lake Orion lots are wooded, so the size-up identifies surrounding trees too. We mark anything we'll work around, not just what's coming down.
Crew aligns on cut order, rigging plan, and access route through the woods. Lakefront jobs add water protection — nothing falls in the lake.
Sectional climbing, crane-assisted when needed. Wooded properties get extra path-clearing so we can stage equipment without damaging surrounding canopy.
Chip everything. Haul the rounds. Restore the lawn or wooded floor. Rake the dock if we worked over the water. Property gets handed back clean.
Fill out the form or call. Lake Orion's close — we usually get there within a day or two.
