Tree Trimming
Our tree trimming service maintains tree health while preventing hazards from overgrowth. Using industry-approved techniques, we carefully shape trees to avoid property damage and utility line interference. This proactive maintenance reduces risks during storms while enhancing natural growth patterns.
Stump Grinding
Professional stump grinding eliminates unsightly remnants after tree removal. Our specialized equipment reaches depths of 8-12 inches below grade, removing obstacles for landscaping or construction projects. This service prevents pest infestations and creates a safer outdoor environment.
Emergency Tree Service
24/7 emergency tree services address hazardous situations promptly. Our trained teams handle fallen limbs, damaged structures, and compromised trees using advanced rigging methods. Rapid response minimizes further property damage while ensuring public safety during critical situations.
Snow Removal
Commercial and residential snow removal services keep properties accessible during winter. Our experienced crews use large-capacity trucks and precise salting techniques to maintain parking lots and walkways. This seasonal service extends our commitment to year-round safety and accessibility.

Expert tree climbing enables precise work in challenging locations. Our certified climbers access hard-to-reach areas without damaging landscapes, performing intricate pruning or removal tasks. This skill allows safe operations in tight urban environments where equipment access is limited.

I am very thankful to have worked with American Tree Care since we purchased our first home nearly 10 years now. They have helped us determine which trees are healthy, which were in desperate need of trimming and the ones we needed to take down. Just this week they finished up a another trimming job for us and I am very pleased again. I trust them and definitely recommend!

They did not provide me with the the 2 cords I paid for. I asked if wood would fit in my Woodburn. The owner assured me that the cut to length about 16". Well let me tell you I will be giving alot of it away. Then the man that delivered it thought I was 1/2 cord short. When I called the owner told me to stack the wood and he would come out and look to see if i was short. I told him my racks weren't that size and he said. OH WELL!!!!

I have always received exceptional service from American Tree Care. I live outside of town and have a long wooded driveway back to my house. American Tree Care responded quickly and did a great job of removing a fallen tree, they did this with a high degree of skill and professionalism.

Word to the wise - never pay a contractor in full for job before it's finished, especially Bill Zimmerman of American Tree Care 35 Sycamore Street, Niles, MI 49120. This is what American Tree Care in Niles, MI left me with after owner Bill Zimmerman agreed to grind the stump 10" below grade. Bill is insisting the vines / ground cover is "grade." Bill demanded payment in full after the tree was cut, but before the stump was ground. I said I was hesitant to pay in full before the stump was ground. Bill touted his 37 years in biz, his solid reputation & swore his company has an A+ rating from the

The owner talks a fantastic game. Shows you all of his documents such as bonding insurance which you should have when selecting a company to do your work. What I did not approved of he comes to your property walks around when you are not there, removes the trees without in telling you, then ask for payment in full. His trucks tore up my lawn, and he did not clean up properly. There is still a large piece of my tree stump sticking out of the ground. He has been called several times and he makes promises hes coming to remove it but does not show.
it has been over two months and the stump

American Tree Care was prompt in returning phone calls, providing an estimate, removing the tree and bush as requested, and cleaning up. Communication was excellent. We were provided with an itemized estimate, and they did exactly what they stated they would do, for the price quoted. They provided great service for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend them.

We have used American Tree Care for all our tree care needs over the past 25 years. Their crews are very professional, quick to get the job done safely and clean up everything thoroughly. They are very knowledgeable with how to properly care for trees and offer great suggestions to prevent significant damage during the storms we receive in our area. Very happy with their service every time and we highly recommend them to everyone we know. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our trees.
