Tree Service in Lansing, MI

Lansing grew up under its trees. Walk the older neighborhoods — around Moores Park, up through the Westside, out past Potter Park along the Red Cedar — and you're under a canopy of big silver maples and oaks that have shaded these streets for the better part of a century. Old Town and REO Town keep their share of grand old trees too, tucked between the storefronts and the rivers. The Grand and the Red Cedar wind through the middle of it all, and the trees along their banks are some of the largest in the city. There's a lot of canopy here, and a lot of it is getting old.

Hayworth Tree Service is family-owned, licensed and insured. We're a Clinton County shop that works Lansing regularly, and we're at home on a tight city lot with wires overhead and a house on every side.

Big old street trees, and why they need attention

The silver maple is the signature tree of Lansing's older blocks — fast-growing, wide, and beautiful, but also prone to weak forks and limb failure as it ages. A mature silver maple leaning over the porch or the power drop deserves a look before it decides things for you. We reduce and thin the crown to lighten heavy limbs and cut the wind sail, and where a big tree has a promising but weak union, we cable and brace it to hold it together for years more. When a tree is genuinely done — hollow, dead on top, or split — we handle the removal with careful rigging so nothing lands on the house or the neighbor's.

Lansing's oaks and ash have their own concerns. We hold oak pruning for the cold months to avoid spreading oak wilt, and emerald ash borer has left standing dead ash all over the city that's best taken down before it fails. If you're not sure what you're looking at, an experienced arborist's eye sorts the real hazards from the trees that are fine.

Storm season along the Grand and Red Cedar

Lansing gets the full Michigan menu — summer wind, winter ice, heavy wet snow — and the big old canopy takes the hit. A single overloaded limb can drop across a driveway, a roof, or a line. Our storm damage cleanup and emergency response is built for exactly that: hung limbs, split trunks, and trees on structures, cleared safely and fast.
