Michigan Tree Services by Certified Arborists

SavATree’s antidesiccant treatments protect trees during cold weather by preserving moisture in the roots when frozen ground limits water uptake. Winter is also an ideal time for pruning, as dormant trees provide better visibility and access for precise cuts. This proactive care helps reduce the risk of storm damage during harsh winter weather.

In Michigan, pruning or removing oak trees during winter is ideal to reduce the risk of oak wilt, a serious fungal disease. Pruning during the growing season increases the chance of infection. SavATree provides seasonal pruning services to protect the health, structure, and beauty of your trees.

Tree removal near lakes or rivers is often regulated by local ordinances to protect the environment and prevent erosion. Before starting a project, review your city’s specific rules. If you're unsure, our team can guide you through the process to ensure compliance with all local regulations.

Routine tree assessments and pruning can help prevent storm damage from heavy snow. Your arborist can identify weak spots and recommend reducing branch weight or length to minimize risks before storms hit. If storm damage or heavy snow occurs, SavATree provides expert cleanup services to restore safety and maintain tree health.

Michigan's soils were shaped by ancient glaciers during the Ice Age, which left a mix of rocks, sand, gravel, and silt, creating diverse soil types like sandy and gravelly loam. Our Michigan teams understand these unique soils and are skilled in maintaining their health to support vibrant, thriving landscapes.

In Michigan, trees like oaks and elms are vulnerable to diseases such as oak wilt and Dutch elm disease, often spread by bark beetles. To prevent the spread of these diseases, the City of East Lansing prunes oaks and elms only during winter dormancy. We recommend pruning during the dormant season, when temperatures stay below 40°F, to protect your trees and minimize disease risk.

Michigan's state tree is the Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus). Known for its tall, straight trunk and soft, bluish-green needles, this majestic tree played a vital role in Michigan's logging history and continues to symbolize the state’s rich natural heritage.
