Charlotte's older neighborhoods are lined with big silver maples, Norway maples, and surviving American elms that shade the deep lots and fence rows of this mid-Michigan farming and residential community. When those trees get sick, storm-damaged, or overgrown, Lansing Tree Service is the crew Charlotte homeowners call.

We've been removing hazard trees, trimming limbs off roofs, and clearing brush along fence lines throughout Charlotte (48813) and the surrounding Lansing area for years.

Tree Service in Charlotte, Michigan (48813)

Charlotte sits on flat to gently rolling glacial till with heavy clay-loam soil and wet low spots. The older residential blocks are ringed by big shade trees, and the farm-edge lots often have fence-row trees that need regular hazard pruning and brush clearing. We see a lot of silver maple limbs that get brittle and hang over roofs, Norway maples declining from tar spot, and old ash trees left behind after emerald ash borer killed the street trees. Oak wilt shows up in the neighborhoods with big oaks, and winter ice storms plus summer thunderstorms with straight-line winds regularly bring limbs down onto structures, vehicles, and power lines.

Our team has worked on everything from Victorian-era homes with deep front porches and mature shade trees to newer ranch and colonial homes on wooded lots. We understand the property line rules, the local permit requirements for tree removal, and how to work safely on tight residential lots where power lines and neighbor properties are close by.

How a Job Works in Charlotte

We start with a free on-site assessment. Call us at (517) 888-9633 and describe what you need, or request a free estimate through our office. We'll answer questions about permits, HOA approval if needed, and what to expect from the work itself.

Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the work and show up with the right crew and equipment for your job. Whether we're removing a dead ash, trimming low maple limbs away from your roof, grinding a stump, or clearing brush along your property line, we work safely and efficiently. On tight lots common in Charlotte's older neighborhoods, we manage access carefully and coordinate with power companies if lines are overhead. We haul away all debris and leave your property clean.

At the end, we do a final walkthrough with you. You'll see the difference, and you'll know the hazard is gone or the tree is healthier and safer for the next storm season.

Tree removal in Charlotte typically runs from several hundred dollars for a small dead ash or maple to several thousand for a large oak or elm close to structures or power lines. Trimming and pruning starts at $250, stump grinding from $150, and hedge or shrub work from $45. The biggest cost factors are tree size and species, how close it is to your house or power lines, whether we need a crane or bucket truck, how much debris there is to haul, and how urgently you need the work done. Storm damage and emergency removal cost more than routine maintenance. Call us at (517) 888-9633 for a free estimate, and we'll give you a realistic price based on what we see on your lot.

I have a big silver maple that sheds branches every winter, and some of them hang over my roof. Is this normal in Charlotte?
Yes. Silver maples are everywhere in Charlotte and they're notorious for brittle wood. Heavy wet snow, ice storms, and wind load them down, and branches snap off. If limbs are hanging over your roof, power lines, or driveway, we recommend hazard pruning to remove the dead and weak branches and thin the crown so wind moves through it better. This reduces the risk of damage to your house and keeps the tree healthier. Call us at (517) 888-9633 for a free estimate.
A tree fell on my garage during last night's storm. Can you remove it today or tomorrow?
We handle emergency tree removal after storm damage. Call us right away at (517) 888-9633 and describe the situation. We'll get a crew out to assess the damage, make the area safe, and schedule removal as soon as possible. If the tree is on power lines or blocking a driveway, let us know and we'll prioritize it. We work fast on emergency jobs.
How much does it cost to remove a dead ash tree in Charlotte?
A small to medium dead ash might run $500 to $1,500, depending on height, location, and access. A large ash close to structures or power lines could be $2,000 to $4,000 or more. The exact price depends on what we see on your property. Call (517) 888-9633 for a free estimate and we'll give you a firm quote.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree on my property in Charlotte?
Charlotte and many towns in the Lansing area require permits for tree removal if the tree is above a certain diameter (DBH) or if it's a protected heritage tree like an oak. Some properties also have HOA restrictions on visible removals. We're familiar with local ordinances and can advise you on whether a permit is needed before we start work. Ask about this when you call for your free estimate at (517) 888-9633.
My neighbor's maple branches are hanging over my property line and dropping leaves in my yard. What can I do?
Property line rules in Michigan say you can trim branches that cross your line back to the property boundary, but you can't trespass or damage the tree. If the overhang is significant or the branches are hazardous, we recommend talking to your neighbor first. If that doesn't work, we can do the trimming on your side of the line. If your property is part of an HOA, check your rules too. Call us at (517) 888-9633 to discuss your situation.
Are you fully insured for tree work on my property?
Yes. Your property and our crew are protected. When you hire us, you're working with a professional operation that carries the right insurance and meets all state requirements.
When is the best time to have trees trimmed or pruned in Charlotte?
Late fall through early spring (after leaves drop and before new growth starts) is ideal for most pruning because we can see the branch structure clearly and the tree is dormant. However, hazard pruning and removal of dead or diseased branches can be done any time. Before winter storms arrive, it's smart to have a experienced arborist look at trees near your roof and power lines and remove weak limbs. Call (517) 888-9633 to schedule a pre-storm assessment in fall.
