We are currently receiving a high volume of calls for immediate tree mitigation following the recent storm activity.

For the next 48 hours, we are only taking emergency calls where trees have impacted structures, are blocking access, or pose an active hazard. Our crews and subcontractors are fully deployed and working as fast and safely as possible.

We ask for your patience as we work through these situations. Every call is being prioritized based on safety, structural risk, and the potential for further damage.

Please be extremely cautious around downed trees and debris. Always assume power lines are live. Even indirect contact through branches or limbs can be dangerous or fatal. Stay clear and do not attempt to handle anything yourself.

If you are planning to file an insurance claim, do not assume it will automatically be covered. Every policy is different. What is covered depends on the cause of loss and the specific terms of your policy. Acting quickly to mitigate further damage is still your responsibility.

It is critical that you hire a company with an ISA Certified Arborist. Certified arborists have a professional duty and obligation to operate under OSHA and ANSI safety standards. These are not suggestions, they are industry standards designed to protect your property and everyone on site.

Companies without a certified arborist on staff are not held to that same level of accountability, and many simply do not follow proper ANSI or OSHA practices. In emergency situations, that difference matters. Safety, rigging, and ex*****on must be done correctly the first time.

If you have a tree on your home or an immediate risk to your property, do not wait. The longer it sits, the greater the chance of additional damage.

Stay safe and give us a call. Five Star Tree Solutions is ready to respond when it matters most.

Last night we visited some of the areas impacted by the recent tornado to answer any questions homeowners may have about their next steps.

Events like this can be incredibly overwhelming, and many families are still processing the damage to their homes and property. Our goal was simply to be available to provide guidance, answer questions, and help homeowners understand the recovery process.

We also want to share something important with others in our industry. We strongly recommend not going door to door selling services in disaster areas. Homeowners are already dealing with a lot emotionally and logistically, and they deserve time and space to assess the situation.

If you do choose to go door to door, do not offer services. Instead, offer homeowners the opportunity to ask questions regarding storm damage, safety concerns, and the proper steps to take when dealing with tree hazards and insurance claims. Simply providing helpful information can go a long way during a stressful time.

If any homeowners have questions about damaged trees, safety concerns around their property, or how the mitigation and insurance process works, we are always happy to help.

Please stay safe, and our thoughts are with everyone affected by the storm.

🌪️ Storm Season Is Coming – Protect Yourself Before the Next Storm 🌪️

As we move into storm season here in Southwest Michigan, we typically begin to see an increase in high winds, hail, and even tornado activity. These storms can cause sudden damage to homes, fences, roofs, and trees.

One simple step we strongly recommend homeowners take before each projected storm is to document your property.

📸 Take photos and short videos of:
• Your home and roof
• Fences and decks
• Trees around your property
• Outbuildings and garages
• Vehicles and landscaping

Having clear “before” photos can be extremely helpful if storm damage occurs. If you ever need to file an insurance claim, being able to show before and after documentation makes it much easier to demonstrate that the damage was caused by the storm.

Storm damage often happens quickly and unexpectedly. Taking a few minutes to document your property ahead of time can save a lot of frustration later.

If a storm does impact your property and a tree damages a structure, Five Star Tree Solutions has the knowledge, equipment and experience to safely respond and help you begin the recovery process.

Stay safe this storm season, and take a few minutes today to document your property.

🚨 STORM INCOMING — DON’T TRUST JUST ANY TREE COMPANY 🌪️🌳

With high winds heading toward Kalamazoo and surrounding areas, emergency tree damage is almost certain. When it hits, every tree company will claim they “know how to work with insurance.”

Truth is — most don’t.
They’ll cut and haul, then disappear… leaving you stuck fighting the claim alone.

We speak adjuster. We know policy language. And we document everything to protect YOU.

With the storm that came through last night, a lot of companies will be popping up claiming they “do tree work” from landscapers to weekend warriors with a chainsaw.

Please understand: when it comes to trees on structures, this is not the time to cut corners. You need a professional tree service, especially if you’re filing an insurance claim. Tree mitigation requires specialized knowledge, experience, and the right equipment. It’s not landscaping. It’s not yard work. It’s high risk, technical work.

Just last week in Kalamazoo County, a landscaping company added tree removal to their services, and it ended in a tragic, fatal accident. My heart goes out to the family and crew, but this is exactly why it’s critical to hire a real tree company when lives and property are on the line.

Trees under tension and compression behave in unpredictable ways. Professionals understand the physics and safety protocols required to handle these situations correctly. And when insurance is involved, you want a company that knows how to navigate claims, adjusters, and mitigation billing properly because most do not.

We’re available 24/7. If you need help, reach out to me directly through comments or messenger. You can also call any of the reputable companies in the area who handle storm mitigation:

Five Star Tree Service, One Man and a Tree, or A Better Way Tree Care.

Stay safe, and if you’re unsure, just ask. We’re here to help.

Seasonal Pruning: A Key to Healthy Trees 🌳

Pruning your trees during the right season can significantly enhance their health and appearance. Winter is an ideal time for pruning as trees are dormant, reducing stress and the risk of disease. Proper pruning encourages strong growth, increases sunlight exposure, and improves air circulation. Remember, a well-pruned tree is a happy tree! 🌿

🌲 How to Prepare Your Trees for Winter ❄️

Winter is coming, and it's important to ensure your trees are ready to withstand the cold months ahead. Here are some tips to keep your trees healthy and safe:

1. Prune Dead Branches: Remove any dead or weak branches to prevent them from breaking under the weight of snow and ice.

2. Mulch Around the Base: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of your trees to help retain moisture and protect roots from freezing temperatures.

3. Wrap Young Trees: Use tree wraps to protect young or thin-barked trees from frost cracks and sunscald.

4. Water Before the Ground Freezes: Give your trees a good watering before the ground freezes to ensure they have enough moisture to last through winter.

5. Inspect for Pests: Check for signs of pests or diseases and address them before they become a bigger problem in spring.
