Four 70-foot oaks removed over a pool, no turf damage.
Trees & Co. has been working Pontiac trees for 25 years. Hector Martinez started his fire-service career at the historic Pontiac Fire Department in 2003 and continues to serve this community through Waterford Regional Fire Department today. Our shop is at 28 N Saginaw. We know this city's trees because we live in them.
When something goes wrong with a tree in this city — a branch through a roof at 2 a.m., a leaner about to crush a fence, an ash that's been dying since 2014 — most homeowners call whoever Google puts on top of the map.
We'd rather you call the company whose owner has been answering Pontiac calls for 23 years. Hector Martinez was hired by the historic Pontiac Fire Department in 2003 — a department with more than 175 years of tradition. When PFD transitioned into Waterford Regional Fire Department in 2012, he kept serving the same community he started in. He knows the streets, the storm patterns, the older neighborhoods with mature canopy, and the homeowners who've been here for thirty years.
That's not a marketing claim. The fire patch is on his shoulder every shift. The Trees & Co. logo is on his truck. Both teams answer to him.
From Downtown Pontiac west to Galloway Lake, north through the Bagley district, and south to the M1 Concourse — we know the city block by block. The shop on N Saginaw Street puts us closer to most Pontiac homes than any other crew in the county. We also serve next-door Auburn Hills and Waterford daily.
Knowing the city's tree population means knowing what's likely wrong before we walk the property.
Pontiac sits in the path of the same Lake Erie–generated microbursts that punch through Auburn Hills and Waterford. Most of our 24/7 emergency calls come in three seasonal waves: thaw-line storms in March–April, supercells off the lakes in June–July, and ice loading on old hardwoods December–February.
If you're calling about a fallen tree in any of those windows, we're probably already running calls. We respond in the order they come in — homeowner or commercial, first-in, first-out.

Foreman walks the property, identifies the tree, the drop zone, the access route, and what's directly under it. Insurance markers go on anything we'll work around.
Crew aligns on the cut order, the rigging, and the escape path. No saw starts until every person knows what's coming down and where.
Controlled drops, sectional cuts, crane-assisted when the lay's wrong. Pontiac homes sit close together — we work tight without touching what's not ours.
Chip everything. Haul the rounds. Rake the lawn. Sweep the driveway. We're not packed up until your property looks untouched.
