Well, 137 yards of logs and 23 yars of wood chips, 15 yards of stump grinds and 1/2 cord stump cut later; we have a beautiful area needing about 6 yards of topsoil.

What once was a tri stem co dominant oak tree with each of the 3 stems at 50+ DBH each and a 8' stump cut 12" up from the ground level. Actively splitting at all 3 unions and moving with the wind (3.5" separation, 5" separation and 10" separation) we were able to safely remove this tree from over a home and 2 different utilities circuits and 1 major road and 1 local road before disaster struck. The separations all closed to smaller than 1" by the time we had the canopy and most of the logs down.

Overall, a 10/10 to our crew and to Mr. Matt Ellis with Ellis Hardwoods Tree Service Division during this very long process we were able to safely complete in 1 work day. Thank you Mandy Wallace and Shane Wallace with Faithful Hauling Services for making it possible for us to even attempt moving that much material in just one day!

If we guess around 1,500 lbs average per yard of material, that is roughly 259,000k lbs.

We conveniently serve ALL of South West Michigan from our Niles and Dowagiac Locations!

Why does having a local insurance agent matter?

An online quote or a generic policy cannot see what we can. Insurance should never be one size fits all... It starts with truly understanding you and your home.

Real coverage starts with a personal relationship. That is why we go directly to your home to:

✅ Review your unique needs and belongings in person

✅ Catch the details that are often missed online

✅ Build coverage that fits your specific situation

When something happens, you are not calling an 800 number. You are calling someone who knows your name and your story.

When was your last policy review?

True's Towing and Recovery, Travis True, Jason Hurrle with Hurrle and Sons! All I can say is wow! When we make that call, you and your company's show up, well equipped, ready to work, no knowledge as to what you are getting into and never hesitate. You always take that phone call, before 5:00 A.M or after 5:00 P.M. you are always there. Took this call just before 5:00 P.M. with more bad weather coming in, the tree ripped the powerline riser off of the home, punctured and also broke the roof in several areas and had a multi thousand pound log layed against the exterior wall. Within minutes, Rob True was on scene building a game plan with our crew, Jason Hurrle wasn't long behind Rob, ready and able to get the roof sealed up to mitigate further damage (water) to the home / structure. Within just a few hours, the tree was off of the structure, weathered in and the situation and structure was made safe.
All went well, all went safe and we were all able to make it home safe.

To my crew; Thank you for everything you do! I know tonight asked a lot from you, at one point being split in 3 - 4 directions ON 3 - 4 DIFFERENT JOB SITES, but we organized well, built a plan, communicated well when the plan changed, then all came together seamlessly with both companies and operated to the fullest of our abilities. We train and educate for these exact moments.

Our Community is lucky to have all of these fine companies rooted right here in Dowagiac!

Thank you Anthony Stewart & Dowagiac Fire Department for keeping our community safe and responding promptly to all reports tonight and prioritizing mitigation!

Thank you Gordon Warner Jr. For coordinating organization amidst the absolute chaos!

5 different sites in 5 hours!

We are very grateful to have been called in to assist with some obstructive trees that are preventing the installation of a new water main in Dowagiac Michigan. The crew doing the installation is a top notch crew (B&L Excavating of Wayland, MI.) These trees were removed not only; to avoid additional, otherwise unless parts in the main (which could create future failure points in the line). But, to reduce the risk to the contractor while excavating directly next to/under the trees.
