Tree Service in Maple Rapids, MI

Maple Rapids is home for us. The shop sits right here in the village, a stone's throw from the Maple River, surrounded by the same farm country you look at every day. When you call Hayworth Tree Service, you're not waiting on a crew from the city — you're calling neighbors who know this ground, this weather, and the big trees on your road by heart.

We're family-owned, licensed and insured. Steve grew up working these fencerows and fields with his dad, and that's still how the crew runs today. Most of the giants around here are silver maples, cottonwoods, and old ash, with sugar maples and a few good oaks shading the yards in town. Every one of them has its own way of causing trouble, and after years on these roads we've seen just about all of it.

What the trees out here have to deal with

There's nothing to slow the wind in open farm country. A storm comes across the fields and hits the tall yard trees first, and silver maple is usually the one that pays for it. It grows fast, holds weak water-filled forks, and sheds heavy limbs in a hard blow. If you've got one leaning over the house, the barn, or the driveway, that's worth a look before the next storm rolls through, not after. We can take the whole tree down safely or, when it's still sound, tighten it up so it holds.

Ash is the other story around Maple Rapids. Emerald ash borer has thinned the ash out across Clinton County, and a dead ash turns brittle in a hurry — nasty to leave standing near a building or the road. We drop those before they come down on their own. And if you've got red or white oaks in the yard, we hold off pruning them until the cold months, November through March, so we don't invite oak wilt in. It's a small timing rule that saves good oaks.

The work neighbors here ask for

Folks in and around Maple Rapids call us most for:

• Taking down a dead or hazardous tree close to the house, wires, or outbuildings
• Trimming and pruning to keep yard trees healthy and shaped right
• Stump grinding so you can mow clean over the spot
• Storm damage cleanup after the wind and heavy snow do their damage
• Clearing trees and brush off a lot or fencerow

We're right up the road from St. Johns, and we're in Ovid and Elsie just about as often as we're home.

Why folks here keep our number handy

That's not a slogan — it's just how a family shop stays busy in a small town. When your neighbors are also your customers, you do it right the first time.
