Tree Service in Elsie, MI

Out in Elsie, the trees tell you it's dairy country. Windbreak rows stand along the barns, old shade maples lean over the farmhouse, and cottonwoods mark the fencelines where they've held their ground for generations. It's a small village with a lot of open land around it, and open land means weather — the kind of wind and heavy, wet snow that finds the weak limb every time. Elsie sits just north of Ovid, an easy run from our shop in Maple Rapids, so we're out this way often.

Hayworth Tree Service is family-owned, licensed and insured, and we're comfortable working a farmstead as well as a village lot. We know how these trees grow out here, and how they fail.

Farmstead and fencerow trees

Trees on a working place have a job to do — block wind, throw shade, hold a line — right up until they become a hazard. A dead cottonwood over the lane, a split maple by the milk house, a fencerow that's grown into the power line: those are the calls we get around Elsie. We handle tree removal tight to barns and outbuildings, and when it's time to open ground for a new building, a bigger yard, or better drainage, our lot and land clearing takes out the trees and brush and leaves you a clean start.

Wind, snow, and the limbs that don't hold

There's nothing between an Elsie farm and the west wind. Storms come across the fields with room to build, and the tall old trees around the buildings take the brunt. Heavy snow loads limbs until they crack; an ice storm can bring down a whole crown. When that happens, our storm damage cleanup and emergency tree service get the mess cleared and the danger gone — fast, because we're right nearby. Ahead of the weather, a good trim to thin and lighten the canopy is the cheapest storm insurance there is.

What we take care of around Elsie

• Removing dead or dangerous trees near barns, homes, and lanes
• Clearing lots and fencerows for building or farming
• Trimming and pruning to keep shade trees sound
• Grinding out stumps so the ground's usable again

We work the whole area, so we're regularly down in Ovid, home at our shop in Maple Rapids, and over in St. Johns.

The kind of crew you'd want on your place

Farm folks around Elsie don't have patience for runaround, and they don't need it with us. We come out quick, give a fair price in writing, work careful around buildings and wires, and clean up every bit of wood and brush when we're through. Family-owned, straight-talking, and glad to be the crew you call again.
