Professional Tree Removal from Local Arborists
Nobody likes losing a tree, but sometimes it has to go. A dead or failing tree near your home is a liability, and removing it is not a job for a ladder and a rented saw. Monster Tree Service of Troy removes trees safely and efficiently, without putting your property at risk.
Every removal starts with a plan. We look at the tree's size, lean, and condition, what sits underneath it, and how our equipment can reach it. Then we choose the safest method, whether that is a climber with ropes and rigging, a bucket truck, or a crane that lifts each section up and over your house.
What Our Tree Removal Service Includes
On-site assessment
An arborist inspects the tree and its surroundings and gives you a written price before any work begins.
Sectional dismantling
Climbers remove the tree in pieces and lower each one with ropes, so nothing falls on roofs, fences, or landscaping.
Bucket truck and crane work
For large trees or tight spaces, we bring aerial lifts and cranes to do the job faster and with more control.
Chipping and haul-away
Brush is chipped on site, logs are loaded out, and the work area is raked and blown clean.
Stump grinding
Add stump grinding to finish the job and take the stump below grade so you can replant or reseed.
Lot and construction clearing
We clear trees for additions, pools, driveways, and new builds, working around your contractor's schedule.
Signs a Tree May Need to Be Removed
- Large dead limbs or a crown that no longer leafs out
- Cracks, cavities, or soft, decayed wood in the trunk
- Mushrooms or conks growing at the base or on the trunk
- A new lean, or soil lifting on one side of the root plate
- Split leaders or major limbs torn out by a storm
- An ash tree killed by emerald ash borer, which turns brittle quickly
- Roots or trunk crowding a foundation, driveway, or utility line

Tree Removal FAQs
Straight answers from our arborists.
How much does tree removal cost?
Price depends on the tree's size, condition, and location, how close it is to structures and wires, and what equipment is needed to reach it. A small tree in an open yard costs far less than a large tree that needs a crane. We give you a free written estimate before any work starts.
How long does it take to remove a tree?
Most single-tree removals are finished in a few hours to one day, including cleanup. Very large trees, crane jobs, and multi-tree projects can take longer. We tell you what to expect when we provide the estimate.
Can you remove a tree that is right next to my house?
Yes. Trees close to homes are removed in sections. Each piece is tied off and lowered under control, or lifted away by crane, so nothing drops onto the roof.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
Rules vary by community. Some cities and townships in Oakland County regulate removal of certain trees or trees in the right of way. We will help you find out what applies to your property before work begins.
What happens to the wood?
By default we chip the brush and haul the logs away. If you would like to keep firewood-length logs or wood chips, tell us when we write the estimate.
Is the stump removed too?
Stump grinding is quoted as a separate line so you can choose. Most customers add it, since a ground stump lets you replant, reseed, or simply mow over the spot.
