Three silver maples removed in a single back yard, full debris haul.
Sterling Heights is the only Macomb County city we work full-time — 36 square miles of suburban canopy, heavy with maples and EAB-killed ash. We've been crossing the Oakland-Macomb border for 25 years to take down what needs to come down. Pontiac firefighter-owned. Free estimates within 24 hours.
Sterling Heights is the third-largest city in Michigan by population, and almost all of it is residential — 36 square miles of subdivisions, ranch homes, and split-levels built mostly between 1965 and 1995. Which means most of the trees here are between 30 and 55 years old. Old enough to be tall. Old enough to start failing.
The tree mix is different from Oakland County — fewer mature oaks, more silver maples, more locust, lots of EAB-killed ash that never got replaced. Hall Road, M-59, Mound Road — the major corridors are all lined with trees we've worked on at some point in the last 25 years.
We cross the county line out of Pontiac to take Sterling Heights jobs because they make sense: the work is steady, the homeowners pay attention, and the storms here hit just like they do in Oakland.
From Plumbrook west to Riverbluff, through Sterling Pointe and Maple Acres, north to the Lakeside Mall district — we run mature-canopy residential work across the city's subdivisions. We also serve next-door Troy and Rochester Hills.
Sterling Heights catches the same June supercell line that hits Pontiac and Troy, but the wind tends to be stronger by the time it reaches Macomb — flatter terrain, less canopy break. Most of our Sterling Heights emergency calls come in waves after summer thunderstorms.
Winter ice loading is also heavy here — open lots, brittle maples, mid-canopy snaps. We staff up before storm season and run Sterling Heights calls first-in, first-out.

Macomb job or Oakland job, the four steps don't change.
Foreman walks the lot, checks the tree, identifies the drop zone, flags anything we'll work around — fences, garages, neighbor sheds. Macomb lots are wider but the principle's the same.
The crew aligns on the plan — which limb comes first, who rigs, who's on the rope. No one runs a saw without knowing where the piece is going.
Controlled drops, sectional cuts, crane-assisted when the lay's wrong. Sterling Heights lots are typically wider than Oakland — we use the room when we have it.
Chip everything. Haul the rounds. Rake the lawn. Sweep the driveway. We're not packed up until your property looks untouched.
