Your Local Tree Removal Team in Novi
Novi has been one of the fastest-growing communities in Michigan for the past three decades, transforming from rural land to dense commercial and residential development at a rapid pace. The western half still has newer subdivisions with trees that are just reaching maturity, while older sections near I-96 have established neighborhoods with larger tree stock. It's a city with a lot of money coming through and high expectations for quality work. Storm response after spring and summer severe weather is a significant part of the workload here.
A dead or leaning tree in Livonia does not stay put forever. The heavy clay soil in this part of Wayne County holds water after every rain, and that wet ground loosens root systems faster than most people expect. Houses in Rosedale Gardens and the older sections off Five Mile Road sit close together, so a tree that falls the wrong way can take out a fence, a car, or a roof section in seconds.
We look at the tree in person before we quote anything — the lean, the root zone, what is around it on all sides. Then we drop it in sections if there is no clear fall path, or take it in one cut if there is room, and we haul the wood and chips away the same day we work.

Why Novi Is Different
What Affects Tree Removal in Novi
Novi has a lot of newer subdivisions where trees were planted in disturbed, compacted soils left over from grading, and those trees have shallow root systems that fail in high winds. Summer thunderstorm season regularly produces straight-line wind events that drop large trees on houses and vehicles.
Developer-planted trees in newer subdivisions were often put in too close to homes and are now reaching roof lines. Ornamental pears and ornamental cherries are everywhere in Novi and both species split badly in storms. The older lakefront properties near Meadowbrook Lake have large willows and cottonwoods that grow aggressively toward water and drainage infrastructure.
What We Do
Tree Removal Services in Novi
Tree Removal
We take down dead, leaning, storm-damaged, or hazard trees and haul everything off your property. Whether the tree is standing in an open yard or wedged between a fence and your house, we cut and clear it the same day.
Free On-Site Estimate
We come to your yard, look at the tree, and give you a written price before any work starts. No phone guesses — every quote is based on what we actually see on the ground.
Stump Grinding
After a tree comes down, the stump stays unless you grind it out. We grind stumps flush with the ground so you can mow over the spot without tripping or damaging equipment.
Dead Limb Pruning
If the whole tree does not need to come down but large dead limbs are hanging over your roof or driveway, we cut and remove those branches before they fall on their own.

Common Questions
Tree Removal FAQ — Novi
How much does tree removal cost in Novi?
The cost depends on several things: how tall the tree is, how wide the trunk is, and what is around it. A small dead tree in an open backyard costs far less than a large silver maple leaning over a roof near Five Mile Road. Access also matters — if a crew cannot get equipment close, the job takes longer. Call (734) 245-8742 for a free estimate.
Do I need a permit for tree removal in Novi, MI?
The City of Novi's Forestry division manages trees in the right-of-way, which is the strip of land between the sidewalk and the street. You generally cannot remove one of those trees without city approval. Trees on your private property usually do not require a permit, but it is worth confirming before work starts. We can help you sort out which category your tree falls into.
What counts as an emergency tree removal?
A tree that has already fallen on a structure, is blocking a driveway, or is visibly cracked and leaning after a storm is an emergency. Novi gets heavy ice storms in January and February that split large trees fast. If a tree came down or looks like it is about to, call (734) 245-8742 and describe what you are seeing.
