Tree Service in Ovid, MI

Ovid keeps things simple: a tidy Main Street, the old grain elevator, and the Maple River threading through the farmland around town. It's the kind of place where the tree in the front yard was planted by somebody's grandfather, and people want it cared for, not just cut down. We know these roads well — Ovid is a quick run east of our shop in Maple Rapids, and we're through here all the time.

Hayworth Tree Service is a family-owned, licensed and insured outfit. Steve and the crew handle everything from a single limb over the porch to a whole tree that's finally given up, and we do it the way small-town folks expect: honestly, and without leaving a mess behind.

Small-town trees worth keeping

A lot of the calls we get in Ovid aren't about removal at all — they're about keeping a good tree good. A well-timed pruning or trim clears deadwood, lifts branches off the roof, and takes weight off the limbs most likely to fail in a storm. Done right, it adds years to a tree. We'll tell you when a trim is all a tree needs, and we won't talk you into cutting one down that's got plenty of life left.

When a tree really is done — hollow, storm-split, or dead on top — we handle the removal cleanly, and follow up with stump grinding so there's nothing left to trip the mower.

Ash, oak, and the storms that test them

Around Ovid, two things keep us busy. Emerald ash borer has left standing dead ash in yards and fencerows all over the Maple River country, and those trees turn dangerous quickly. And when a summer storm or a heavy snow rolls across the open ground, it's the tall silver maples and old ash that shed limbs first. Our storm damage cleanup gets you back to normal fast when that happens. If you've got oaks, remember we save their pruning for winter — cutting them in the warm season invites oak wilt, and that's one problem worth avoiding. When something looks sick, our tree disease and pest care starts with figuring out what's actually wrong.

Neighbors send us their neighbors

Most of our Ovid work comes by word of mouth, and the reasons are always the same: we come out fast with a free estimate, the price is fair and there are no surprises, we work carefully around the house and the wires, and we leave the yard cleaner than we found it. We also cover the towns right nearby, so you'll find us in Elsie, over in St. Johns, and back home in Maple Rapids.
