Your yard has turned into a dark, damp spot. The grass is thin, moss is taking over, the garden will not grow, and the roof stays wet. Your big trees are the reason, but you do not want to lose them. Toms Tree Services offers tree canopy thinning in Marquette to let more light through.
When Do You Need Tree Canopy Thinning?
Canopy thinning helps when shade from one or more trees is hurting your yard. Signs include bare or mossy lawn, a garden that does not grow, a roof or deck that stays damp, and a house that feels dark.
We remove select branches from the canopy so light filters through. The trees keep their height and natural shape.
On dense wooded lots in the U.P., canopies grow together over time. Our short summer means every hour of sun counts for lawns and gardens.
A thinner canopy also catches less of the force from Lake Superior wind storms and holds less heavy lake-effect snow.
Too much thinning hurts trees. We take only what each tree can handle. If one tree is crowding out others, sometimes removing it is the better answer, and we will tell you.
We thin canopies for homeowners and property owners in Marquette, Negaunee, Ishpeming, Gwinn and across Marquette County.
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 the trees.
Then we come out and look at the job. We look at where the shade falls and which trees cause it. We talk about the spots you want sunnier. We plan which branches to remove so light spreads evenly, without leaving trees bare.
After that, you get a free estimate. There is no trip fee for the visit and no pressure to say yes. If you want to go ahead, we set up the work with you. When we finish, we clean up the branches.
How Much Does Tree Canopy Thinning Cost?
The cost depends on how many trees, their size, how dense the canopy is, and how close the trees are to buildings or wires. Access, climbing work, the gear needed, distance and cleanup also matter.
The estimate is free, and there is no trip fee. When we give you the estimate, we go over what it covers, such as hauling the branches away or chipping them. That way you can pick what fits your needs and budget.
