Your home or camp sits deep in the woods. You love the trees, but brush and branches crowd right up to the walls and roof. In a dry spell, that worries you. Toms Tree Services offers wildfire mitigation in Marquette to make space around your buildings.
When Do You Need Wildfire Mitigation?
Wildfire mitigation focuses on the area right around your home, cabin, garage or camp.
Signs you need it include brush and small trees close to walls, branches over the roof, dead wood and needles piled near buildings, and low limbs that could carry fire into tree tops.
Work can include clearing brush near buildings, thinning crowded trees, raising low limbs, removing dead trees, and trimming branches back from roofs and chimneys.
This lowers risk. It does not make a home fire-proof. For building changes like roofing or vents, talk to a contractor or your local fire department.
In the U.P., dense wooded lots put many homes right in the trees. Lake Superior wind storms and heavy lake-effect snow leave broken limbs and dead wood near buildings.
Late summer dry spells can still happen, so it helps to do this work ahead of time.
We help 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 property.
Then we come out and look. We walk around your buildings with you and point out brush, limbs and trees that add risk. We talk about what to clear and which trees you want to keep. Then we plan the work.
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 Wildfire Mitigation Cost?
The cost depends on how much area around the buildings needs work, how many trees to thin or remove, tree sizes, access and slopes. Distance, equipment and cleanup 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.
