When Trash the Clown put out the call that she needed trucks for the 2026 Trash Bash, we fueled up and showed up!
What an awesome day full of creativity, care, and community!

We wrote about the experience, why we believe businesses have a responsibility to participate in the communities they’re part of, how trash isn't too different from trees, and why what Trash the Clown is creating at The Dumpster is worth paying attention to.

👇 Read the full article and get to know more about the amazing clown and her community that is showing up and cleaning up for Port Huron:

And if you’re local, go check out what Trash the Clown is doing. Support her. Visit The Dumpster. Buy something from a local artist. Listen to a band. Pick up some trash. Plant a tree.
Or just show up.
Because communities get better when people care enough to participate.

We hear some pretty scary things from homeowners, like:
"If you need to smash that fence to get the tree down, it's fine."
Now, why would a homeowner say that? Unfortunately, due to unskilled people with saws, it’s become the culture around tree work — that things will probably get smashed when removing a large tree in a tight space.
That could NOT be further from the truth, and it should NOT be the norm. It certainly isn’t for us. We’re here to change the conversation and say:
"After we leave, you won’t even know we were here."
Every removal we perform, large or small, is safe, calculated, and controlled. For larger trees in tighter areas, we may even bring in a crane to safely lift limbs up and over your house, shed, or fence, and gently set them down in your yard to be cut up and chipped.
Don’t settle for destruction when hiring a tree service. Give us a call and we’ll explain your options!

Who needs a drone for ariel views when you could just dangle from the ball of a crane high above the tree tops!?

How do you feel about heights? Would this view thrill you or scare you?

We had the opportunity to work in a beautifully shaped mulberry tree that was hanging over the Black River. Hope you enjoy the view! The client wanted their tree deadwooded and you might be wondering- do I need to do that too!?
The answer might be yes- if you're looking to make the tree more visually pleasing, or if the dead limbs are hanging over an area you spend a lot of time, as they could suddenly drop and cause harm to your property or your loves ones. The answer could also be no- if you don't care how it looks and if it's not posing a threat, the tree actually doesn't care and will take care of it on its own over time.
If you need help deciding give us a call and we would be happy to come out and take a look, helping you evalute the safety of your tree!

We love trees. We care for them, protect them, and do everything we can to keep them healthy.
But sometimes… a tree just has to go. 🌳💔

Here are the 5 main reasons we recommend removal (even when we’d rather not):

1- Let's start with an obvious one. If it's dead or dying – A dead tree isn’t just an eyesore, it’s a safety hazard.

2- If it’s too close to a structure – Roots or limbs too close to your home, garage, or foundation can cause serious damage. This is also something serious to think about when planting new trees. Leave room for them to grow, and not just in the next 10 year, but the next 50!

3- It’s leaning or unstable – Especially if the lean has recently changed or worsened. Now, that doesn't mean every tree that has a lean is dangerous, not at all! We know what to look for!

4- Storm damage – Broken trunks or split limbs can create dangerous conditions fast. When a tree has been hit we try to save what we can but sometimes Nature has other plants.

5- Tree risk assessment – If our professional inspection shows the tree is likely to fail, it’s better to act before the storm does.

We don’t take removals lightly, a lot of the time we're the company trying to talk you into saving your money just to save your tree, but when it’s time, we do it safely, cleanly, and with care.

Need a second opinion on a tree that’s making you nervous? We’re happy to take a look and let you know if it's something to take care of or simply leave!

We noticed some things going on with this tree. Let's break down the good, the bad, and what can be done!

1- Did you know a tree can accidentally choke itself out?
It’s called girdling roots—when a tree’s own roots grow in circles around the base and slowly cut off water and nutrients.
It’s sneaky, it’s common, and it often goes unnoticed until the damage is done.

The good news? We can spot it early and take care of it before it becomes a serious problem.
Not sure what’s going on beneath the surface? We’re happy to take a look. 🌳👀

2- Noticed twigs falling from your tree with clean bite marks?
No need to panic—it’s probably just squirrels doing a little home improvement. 🐿️
They bite off small twigs to build their nests (called dreys), especially in spring and fall.

The good news? It’s totally normal—and not harmful to your tree.
Just one of those fun signs your backyard is part of the local wildlife neighborhood. 🌳

Are you seeing any of these signs on your own backyard? It might be time to go out and take a look!

Tree work is often seen as a lumberjack trade—wildly chopping down trees in flannels with an axe.
But skilled tree work is actually a mix of math, science, physics, and climbing—all wrapped into one.
This job is the perfect example.
