Tree Care in Lake Ann, MI

If you're looking at the trees around your Lake Ann home and feeling concerned, you're not alone. Most of the residential tree problems I see here trace back to a simple fact: the wrong tree was planted in the wrong place 50 or 60 years ago. Builders and early landscapers often chose fast-growing species for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why we see so many mature silver maples, prized for their speed but plagued by weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and lawns. We also inherited a lot of green ash, a tree now under imminent threat from the emerald ash borer. The good news is your property also likely has valuable native specimens, like sturdy bur oaks and beautiful sugar maples, that are worth protecting and form the backbone of our local landscape.
