We are a professional tree service located in West Michigan that was started by two brothers, Nick and Josh Langerak. We are fully licensed and insured. Contact us for a free estimate! From removal of brush and overgrowth to clearing acres of densely wooded areas, we can tackle any size project. Great Lakes Tree Service prides itself on its approachable and friendly team.
We specialize in removing large, hazardous trees and possess years of experience removing some of the most difficult trees. Removing that ugly or unsafe tree might be a tempting do-it-yourself task, but it can be quite hazardous and even create liability in the case of injury or property damage. There can also be unknown electrical, gas, or plumbing in the lawn, which should be accounted for.
Without the proper equipment and knowledge, things can go wrong or take longer than desired. We have grinders of various sizes to handle stumps small to large - or even a field of stumps. The tracks of our machines disperse their weight and leave your yard in excellent condition. Our expert crew has years of experience with even the most difficult stump grinding projects.
Whether you're looking to promote the health and growth of your trees or just improve the visual appeal, tree pruning and trimming is an important part of proper tree care. While tree trimming can sometimes be handled by a homeowner, it is often a job best left to the professionals. Not only can the task be dangerous, but improper pruning can result in an ugly tree - or worse, an unhealthy tree.
Severe weather can cause tree damage resulting in an inconvenient or even dangerous situation. Let us be the first step of your rebuilding process. Storm damaged trees can occur at all hours, and often results in a hazard that needs to be addressed quickly. With our 24-hour emergency service, be assured that our team can be there for you when you need us the most.

The Great Lakes crew removed a 100-plus foot tall maple that was splitting down the center. Part of the tree overhung power lines and the other part overhung my house and garage. The team made quick work of the tree and were very friendly to work with. I also appreciated the great communication from Abigail as she was trying to juggle winter weather conditions. Spot on all around.

I would highly recommend this business, they did a great job clearing and barrel mulching about 5 acres of our property. Brandon the tech was amazing, we had a few trees we wanted to save and he even saved a few saplings we were not aware of that were hidden behind the thick brush! Abigail was courteous and kept us updated around estimating and schedule. Super pleased and will definitely use them again!

Great Lakes Tree Service was very patient with me. I was worried because my tree was large, on a busy street and near power lines. They answered all my questions. They did a wonderful job and were done quickly. I would not hesitate to use them again.

The crew was very kind and professional. They double checked to make sure we were all on the same page about removal before they began. They were safe and timely in removing three dead trees from our yard. Would definitely call them again for future work!

The team who did our tree removal - Gabe, Christian and Bradon - were nothing short of exceptional! We are so pleased with how efficient, pleasant, accommodating and thorough they were. In spite of the HUGE amount of work they did, our yard actually looks better than before they started because of their incredible clean up and careful use of their heavy equipment! Please extend our thanks and compliments to the team. We will certainly call on Great Lakes Tree Service in the future should we have additional tree removal needs.

Great Lakes was great communicating and provided a timely estimate. They proved to be just as efficient and professional removing a large Maple tree from our back yard in Jenison. They have invested in, maintained and properly trained their employees to use a crane, a "Spider", a chipper and many other pieces of equipment that had that tree safely cut, lifted over our garage and headed down the road in about two hours. They left the driveway, yard and street in great condition. Worth every penny!

The guys from Great Lakes Tree Service came to trim a large tree for me. I was very pleased with their work, they are very courteous, stay on task very well, are safe in their work, and take the time to explain what they are going to do. They are good ambassadors for Great Lakes Tree Service. I already recommended them to a couple people and anyone whos asks, I will tell them to use Great Lakes Tree Service. Thank you!

I highly recommend Great Lakes Tree Service. Josh and his team were so professional and did a great job taking out an extremely large oak tree and large branch that had fallen off of the tree and into my neighbor’s yard. Also they removed 3 pine trees from my neighbor’s yard. Their prices were extremely competitive and the quality work was exceptional. I have used multiple tree companies in the last 5 years and Great Lakes Tree is by far the best. 5 star company and 5 star work! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great Lakes Tree Service is the ultimate professional tree service company. They removed nearly 30 large oak trees from my residential yard in one day and left the lawn in almost better shape than when they arrived. They had all the right equipment and expertise to remove the trees and grind the stumps without damage to house, septic or sprinkler system!! They did an excellent job of cleanup after the removals. This group is awesome - and very competitive in their pricing. I would highly recommend this team to anyone needing professional tree services. You won't be disappointed!!
