Tree removal isn’t something most homeowners deal with often, but when the time comes, hiring a professional tree removal service is the safest and smartest choice. Whether it’s a dead tree leaning toward your home, storm damage that left a trunk unstable, or roots threatening your foundation, the removal process is critical for protecting your property.
At Ole Man RB’s Tree Service, we specialize in professional tree removal in Michigan. Many customers ask: What actually happens during a tree removal service? Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the process—so you know exactly what to expect from start to finish.
Step 1: Initial Assessment & Safety Planning
Every professional tree removal begins with a careful site assessment. Our team inspects:
- The tree’s size, health, and structural integrity
- Its location relative to your home, power lines, fences, or landscaping
- Ground conditions and safe access points for equipment
This step ensures we choose the safest cutting method and equipment for the job.
Step 2: Securing the Work Area
Before removal begins, our crew sets up safety zones to keep your family, pets, and property protected. Professional tree removal involves large branches and heavy trunk sections, so securing the work area is essential
Step 3: Specialized Equipment Setup
Professional tree removal companies use tools that most homeowners don’t have access to, such as cranes, bucket trucks, and industrial stump grinders. The right equipment allows for safe, efficient work no matter the size or location of the tree.
Step 4: Limb Removal & Sectioning
Our team starts at the top, trimming branches and lowering them safely with ropes. This controlled process ensures no damage to your roof, driveway, or yard—a big difference between DIY and professional service.
Step 5: Taking Down the Trunk
The trunk is cut into manageable sections instead of letting it fall all at once. This is a hallmark of professional tree removal, minimizing risks and keeping the process efficient.
Step 6: Stump Grinding or Removal
After the trunk is down, you’ll choose between:
- Stump grinding (quick, efficient, leaves space for grass/landscaping)
- Stump removal (complete extraction of roots and stump for a clean slate)
Both are standard options in a full-service tree removal package.
Step 7: Cleanup & Disposal
Professional crews don’t leave a mess. We chip branches, haul away debris, and clear the worksite—leaving your property clean, safe, and ready to enjoy.
Why Choose Professional Tree Removal Over DIY?
DIY might seem cheaper, but tree removal is one of the most dangerous home projects. Hiring professionals means:
- Safer equipment handling
- Protection for your home and property
- Expert handling of unexpected issues (like hidden rot or unstable roots)
When you hire Ole Man RB’s, you’re investing in safety, efficiency, and peace of mind.
