Michigan weather does not do things halfway. A summer derecho, an ice storm off the lakes, a heavy wet snow in March — any of them can leave your yard buried in broken limbs and leaning trees overnight.

Hayworth Tree Service handles the aftermath. We clear downed trees and debris, take down the hangers and cracked limbs left dangling in the canopy, and give you a straight answer on which damaged trees can be saved with restoration pruning and which are beyond it. It is the kind of steady, experienced help you want after a bad night.

What you get with Hayworth Tree Service

  • Downed trees and debris cleared and hauled
  • Dangerous hangers and split limbs removed
  • Honest save-it-or-remove-it assessments
  • Insurance-ready photos and documentation

Storm Damage We Handle

Downed trees and limbs

Whole trees on the ground, across fences, or blocking the yard — we cut, clear, and haul it all away.

Hangers and widowmakers

Broken branches caught overhead are the most dangerous leftover of any storm. We remove them before they fall on someone.

Split and cracked trunks

A trunk that split at a fork or cracked in the wind is often unstable. We assess whether it can be cabled and saved or needs to come down.

Partial uprooting

Trees heaved by saturated soil and wind may look fine but have lost their anchor. We check the root plate and advise.

Our Storm Cleanup Process

  1. 01

    Assess the damage

    We walk the property, flag the immediate hazards, and separate what is dangerous now from what can wait.

  2. 02

    Clear the hazards first

    Hangers, blocked access, and anything threatening the house come down first so the property is safe to be around.

  3. 03

    Save what we can

    For trees with a future, we do restoration pruning — clean, balanced cuts that help them recover instead of just hacking them back.

  4. 04

    Haul and document

    We remove the debris, tidy the yard, and hand you photos and notes for your insurance claim.

What Affects Storm Cleanup Cost

Storm jobs range from a single split limb to a yard full of downed timber. We assess and quote before we dig in, and help with insurance documentation. Cost depends on:

Volume of debris

One tree down versus five, and whether you want the wood hauled or left for firewood, all change the scope.

Hazard and access

Debris tangled in wires, on the roof, or on a slope takes more care and time than an open yard.

Save vs. remove

Restoration pruning to save a valuable tree is different work from a full removal — we price whichever the tree needs.

Stump work

If a storm took a tree all the way down, grinding the remaining stump is an easy add-on to the cleanup.

What our customers say

“Steve and his crew did a GREAT job removing a tree following a storm. Highly recommend.”
Kelly Eberleya year ago
“During the February ice storm, I had a huge branch break off and it took a good portion off another tree. My garage was completely blocked off. Hayworth got to me right away to assess the trees and came out first thing the next morning. They showed up when they said they would and did a very thorough clean-up. I HIGHLY recommend their services.”
Marsha Fenton3 years ago
“Highly recommend Hayworth Tree Service. I reached out early this spring and had a response in a timely manner. Much to my surprise they contacted me and had availability the following day. The process and clean up was fantastic. The tree was very large, next to my house and had some wires to work around. Very professional service. I'd call them again for any tree service needs!”

Questions & Answers

Storm Damage Cleanup FAQs

Sometimes. If the trunk is sound and less than a third of the crown is lost, restoration pruning — and occasionally cabling — can bring it back. We will give you an honest read on each tree.
