Trusted by Spring Lake homeowners and property managers for professional tree removal, pruning, and emergency services. Our certified arborists combine technical expertise with environmental stewardship.
We recently removed our 75-year-old oak tree, which was 12 feet around and 85 feet tall. It had survived lightning strikes, poor pruning, and insect infestations over the years. That's why we chose Arbor Grove Tree Care, a Certified Arborist and Tree Risk Assessment Qualified company, to handle the job safely. Watching their team work together was impressive. They made a difficult job look easy. The brave hero in the tree, the crane operator, and the ground crew communicated smoothly and worked in sync. They chipped or hauled away everything. The cleanup was so thorough you couldn't tell they'd been there. The cost was reasonable for the six hours it took to complete. The team was professional, experienced, orderly, and efficient. I learned a lot from the process. I would definitely use Arbor Grove Tree Care again and highly recommend their services.

Read moreSpring Lake sits between two demanding tree environments: the sandy lakeshore lots facing Lake Michigan exposure, and the deeper interior properties along Spring Lake itself with established mixed-hardwood canopy. Arbor Grove Tree Care services Spring Lake from Muskegon with experience across both — knowing which trees are most likely to fail in a storm based on species, soil, and exposure, and using TRAQ-qualified assessments to flag high-risk specimens before they become emergencies.
Call (231) 340-2777 for emergency response or to request a free on-site assessment.
Yes — phone is monitored 24/7 at (231) 340-2777. Spring Lake's lakeshore exposure to wind off Lake Michigan, sandy soil that gives roots less anchorage than clay, and dense mature canopy on older lots all create storm risk. We respond fast, day or night, weekends and holidays.
Tree removal, structural pruning to ANSI A300 standards, stump grinding, oak wilt management, tree risk assessments, tree health inspections, tree planting, and 24/7 emergency response. Full debris cleanup is included on every job.
Yes. Owner Zachary Froster is an ISA Certified Arborist (MI-4771A), Tree Risk Assessment Qualified (TRAQ), and Michigan Oak Wilt Qualified (MI-151) — three publicly verifiable credentials in current standing. Every job has an ISA Certified Arborist on site.
Oak wilt is fatal to red oak species and is confirmed throughout Ottawa County. The high-risk infection window in Michigan runs April 15 through July 15 — never prune oaks during this period. Suspected case on your Spring Lake property? Our $350 oak wilt consult includes on-site diagnosis, risk assessment, and a written management plan from a Michigan Oak Wilt Qualified specialist.
