You own a piece of woods, but you are not sure what is out there. What kinds of trees grow there? Are invasive plants moving in? Are there wet spots or sick trees? Toms Tree Services offers ecological assessments in Marquette, a practical walk-through to help you understand your land.
When Do You Need Ecological Assessments?
An ecological assessment helps when you buy wooded land, plan to build or clear, want to improve wildlife habitat, or just want to care for your woods better.
We walk the land and note what we see: the main tree types, young trees coming up, tree health, dead or down wood, invasive plants, wet areas and streams, and signs of erosion.
This is a practical field look, not a formal scientific study. It gives you a clear picture to plan from.
In the U.P., woods change fast after Lake Superior wind storms and heavy lake-effect snow and ice. Invasive shrubs can spread along edges and trails. Wet spring ground shows where drainage is a problem.
Knowing your land early helps you avoid mistakes, like clearing a wet area or missing an invasive patch while it is small.
We do assessments for homeowners and property owners in Marquette, Negaunee, Ishpeming, Gwinn and across Marquette County, and will travel farther for the right job.
How the Job Works, Step by Step
It starts with you. Call 906-236-9567 or send the form with your name, phone number and address. Lucas will call you back to set a time to look at your land.
Then we come out and look. We walk the land with you, talk about your goals, and look at the trees, plants, water and ground. Then we go over what we saw and what work could help, like removing invasive plants, clearing, thinning or planting.
After that, you get a free estimate. There is no trip fee for the visit and no pressure. You can start with part of the plan or all of it. If you go ahead, we set up the work with you and clean up when we finish.
How Much Does Ecological Assessments Cost?
The cost depends on how big the property is, how thick the woods are, how easy it is to walk, and how much detail you want. Distance and access also matter.
The estimate is free, and there is no trip fee. When we give you the estimate, we go over what each part of the work covers. That way you can pick what fits your trees and your budget, and change the plan later if your needs change.
