Tree Service in Bath, MI

Park Lake sets the tone in Bath. The wooded lots ringing the water carry big oaks and maples that hang out over cottages, decks, and driveways, and that shade is half the reason people love it here. Bath Township runs from those lakeside neighborhoods out to open farm ground, with US-127 and East Lansing just minutes down the road. Trees this size, standing this close to homes, are worth keeping in careful hands — and that's what we bring.

Hayworth Tree Service is family-owned, licensed and insured. Around Bath we spend a lot of time on mature lakeside trees, which are beautiful and, left unmanaged, can get risky over the buildings beneath them.

Lakeside trees around Park Lake

Big oaks and maples over a cottage are exactly the trees you want checked before they surprise you. A long limb reaching over the roof, a co-dominant trunk with a tight seam, roots working in the soft lakeside soil — these are the things a good risk assessment from an experienced arborist is built to catch. If your oaks need work, we time it for the cold months to steer clear of oak wilt, which spreads fast among wounded oaks in the warm season.

Taking weight off big canopies before a storm

The wind that funnels across Park Lake, plus Michigan's ice and heavy snow, is hard on oversized crowns. Rather than top a tree — which only makes it weaker and more dangerous — we use crown reduction and thinning to bring a big canopy back into balance, lower its wind sail, and lighten the limbs most likely to break. It keeps the tree healthy and your roof safer. And when a storm does hit, our storm damage cleanup clears the wreckage quickly.

What Bath homeowners call us for

• Crown reduction and thinning for oversized lakeside canopies
• Pruning and trimming to clear roofs, decks, and drives
• Tree removal when a tree over the cottage can't be saved
• Stump grinding to reclaim the spot

Because Bath sits at the edge of the metro, we're regularly next door in East Lansing, up in DeWitt, and over toward Haslett.
