Removal A Very Difficult 80-Foot Siberian Elm For Me That Was Less Than 12 Inches From Client Garage Wall by True Cut Tree Care Service
Removal of 80-foot Siberian elm near garage and power lines in Residential property Southeast Michigan
Introduction
When Ben in Southeast Michigan had an 80-foot Siberian elm tree to remove, he had some obstacles to navigate. The tree was only 12 inches from his garage wall, power lines overhead, and a house only 20 feet from the tree. Most companies avoid tricky removals like this, but True Cut Tree Care Service was different- with experience, the right equipment, and a skilled crew, they completed the project safely in just 3.5 hours!
Complex tree removal near structures is not routine work. It requires professional skill, proper planning, and equipment that most companies simply do not have.

“Absolutely spectacular service. Amazing tree work, great prices, and friendly people. I cannot recommend these folks highly enough. They removed a very difficult 80-foot Siberian elm for me that was less than 12 inches from my garage wall. They did it with power lines above and a house 20 feet away. Not one thing dropped on a roof, and they were in and out in about 3.5 hours. The crew was very professional and friendly.”— Ben Bergman Southeast Michigan Homeowner
