Heritage 100-year oak removed over a pool and tennis court, crane-assisted.
Hundred-year oaks on one-acre lots. Specimen plantings worth more than most cars. Cranbrook-adjacent estates where the landscape predates the neighborhood. The work demands planning, careful execution, and complete restoration. Firefighter-owned. 25 years.
Bloomfield Hills properties typically sit on one-plus acres, with mature canopy that often predates the house. We've worked on lots where the oaks were planted before Cranbrook was built. The trees are inventory — not in the financial sense, but in the way the property is valued. Removing the wrong one is a real loss.
We've been the crew Bloomfield Hills calls because we work like the stakes are real. The size-up takes longer. The protection plan covers more. The crane budget gets approved when access demands it. The alternative — fast cuts, dropped limbs, ruts in the lawn — doesn't fly here.
A lot of our Bloomfield Hills jobs are referrals from landscape architects and property managers who've worked with us on adjacent estates. The standard travels.
From the Cranbrook campus perimeter through Lone Pine and Vaughan, around Long Lake and Square Lake, to the Bloomfield Country Club estates — Bloomfield Hills properties hold some of the largest mature trees in the entire metro. Estate-scale work is our wheelhouse. We also serve next-door Birmingham and West Bloomfield.
Bloomfield Hills' mature canopy actually breaks wind well — but it also catches more ice in winter. The big mid-canopy snap that drops a 30-foot limb across a driveway is the typical Bloomfield Hills emergency call. We work with the homeowner's insurance, the landscape company, and the property manager when relevant.

On one-acre lots with 100-year canopy, the workflow takes longer — and that's the point.
Foreman walks the estate, identifies the tree, the access route, the lawn we'll stage on, what gets protected. On 1+ acre lots with 100-year canopy, the size-up is detailed and sometimes takes an hour.
Crew briefing covers cut order, crane choreography (if needed), rigging plan, and the protection protocol — Bloomfield Hills properties don't tolerate cleanup gaps.
Crane-assisted when access is tight or the tree is too big for sectional. Low-impact rigging on every cut. Specimen plantings and hardscape stay untouched.
Chip everything. Haul the rounds. Restore the lawn. Replace mulch. Walk the property with the owner or property manager before we leave.
