Jason Lewis owns the company — and he's the one who walks your property

Diversified Tree Company LLC — also filed as Diversified Tree Service LLC — is an owner-operated, Black-owned, family-focused arborist team working out of a yard at 6646 Paris Ave SE in south Grand Rapids. President Jason E. Lewis has been running this crew for more than a decade, backed by 25+ years of combined crew experience.

When you call, you get Jason. He's the man who walks the property, writes the estimate, sets the rigging, and answers for the job after the chipper pulls away. There's no call center between you and the person cutting, no commissioned salesperson, and no pressure to take down a tree that doesn't need to come down. If the honest answer is "prune it and check it again in two years," that's the answer you'll get.

The work we're known for is the work that needs a plan first: storm-torn oaks hanging over rooflines, century maples too close to the house, controlled dismantling with advanced rigging where nothing is allowed to free-fall. We serve both residential and commercial properties, and every removal gets a site and rigging plan before the first cut. Sections are rigged, lowered, and landed exactly where the plan says.

Then there's the part a lot of outfits skip. Limbs chipped, wood hauled or stacked where you want it, lawn raked, driveway blown clean. Cleanup isn't an add-on line item — the job isn't finished until the site looks better than we found it.

Nine services, one crew

We do nine things, and we do them with our own people and our own equipment — including the seasonal work that keeps us on your street year-round.

  • Tree Removal — hazardous, diseased, dead, or oversized trees, including large removals tight to structures using rigging and controlled dismantling.
  • Tree Trimming & Pruning — canopy health, storm-risk reduction, and clearance from rooflines and power lines with precision cuts.
  • Stump Grinding — ground below grade, chips hauled, the spot left replant-ready with no tripping hazard and no pest habitat.
  • Emergency Tree Service — fallen trees, blocked driveways, and roof-threatening limbs, with documentation for insurance claims.
  • Lot Clearing — full-lot or partial clearing for construction, expansion, or overgrowth, with brush and debris responsibly disposed of.
  • Bracing & Cabling — structural support that preserves valuable, split-prone trees instead of removing them.
  • Firewood — seasoned hardwood, picked up at our Paris Ave yard or delivered. Call for current stock and pricing.
  • Snow Plowing — seasonal residential and commercial plowing for driveways, lots, and walkways.
  • Curbside Leaf Pickup — rake it to the curb in loose piles and we collect and haul it away.

Jason answers the phone at 3 a.m.

We're open Monday through Sunday, 24 hours a day, and that isn't marketing language. Storms in West Michigan don't wait for business hours, so the phone gets answered at 3 a.m. on Christmas. Storm response is a core service here, not an upsell tacked onto a bad night.

From the Paris Ave SE yard, most of the metro is within about 20 minutes in normal conditions. We work in 14 communities: Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Grandville, Byron Center, Caledonia, Moline, Jenison, Hudsonville, Dorr, Ada, Wayland, Alto, Marne, and Comstock Park. For non-emergency requests, you'll hear back within one business day.

5 out of 5 from 13 reviews, and a BBB profile you can check

Glad I waited for the right professional. Jason was very careful in his approach with my fallen after the storm. If not for him I would have definitely damaged my roof. Very happy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Grand Rapids?

Trees on private property generally don't require a permit, but street trees in the right-of-way do, and some neighborhoods have their own rules. We handle that check as part of the estimate so you're not guessing.

Will insurance cover my tree removal?

If a tree fell on a structure during a storm, homeowners insurance usually covers removing it from the structure, and we provide documentation for the claim. Preventive removal of a standing tree typically isn't covered.

Do you take the stump too?

A standard removal leaves a low stump. Stump grinding is a popular add-on — we grind 6 to 12 inches below grade, enough for lawn, and backfill with the chips. We'll go deeper on request.

Can I keep the wood?

Yes. We'll buck the trunk to firewood length and stack it wherever you want it at no extra charge, or haul it away if you'd rather not deal with it.

Do you really answer at night and on holidays?

Yes. Open 24 hours means the phone gets answered at 3 a.m. on Christmas. From our Paris Ave SE yard, most of the metro is about 20 minutes away in normal conditions.

Will you top my tree?

No. Topping creates weakly attached regrowth that fails in storms and shortens the tree's life. We'll recommend proper pruning instead — or removal, if that's genuinely the right call.
