Jason Lewis runs Diversified Tree Company out of a yard on Paris Avenue SE in south Grand Rapids — a straight shot up Byron Center Avenue from the village. He's owner-operated and family-focused, with and behind the rigging. What that buys you in Byron Center is a crew that takes down a leaning oak over a roofline instead of talking you into something cheaper and riskier.
Ten minutes south of our yard on Byron Center Avenue
Byron Center is one of our closest service areas, and one of the fastest-changing. New subdivisions off 84th Street sit next to century farmsteads, and the two come with completely different tree work.
On the farm side, it's aging windbreaks — rows of spruce, poplar and box elder planted generations ago that are now dying out section by section and dropping limbs on fence lines and outbuildings. We take them down row by row, and we can clear a whole fence line or a building site for whatever comes next.
On the subdivision side, it's builder-grade maples that need structural pruning early, before bad unions set, plus the occasional removal where a tree went in too close to a foundation. The village core is about nine minutes from the yard, and most of the metro is inside 20 minutes in normal conditions, so we're not quoting you a week out for a limb on the garage.
Nine services, one crew
- Tree Removal — safe removal of hazardous, diseased, dead or oversized trees, including large removals near structures with rigging and controlled lowering.
- Tree Trimming & Pruning — canopy health, storm-risk reduction and clearance from rooflines and power lines, with precision cuts that keep valuable trees alive.
- Stump Grinding — ground 6–12 inches below grade, chips hauled or backfilled, the spot left replant-ready. No tripping hazard, no pest habitat.
- Emergency Tree Service — storm response for fallen trees, blocked driveways and roof-threatening limbs, with documentation for insurance claims.
- Lot Clearing — full-lot and partial clearing for construction, expansion or overgrowth, with brush, trees and debris responsibly disposed of.
- Bracing & Cabling — structural support systems that preserve split-prone trees instead of removing them.
- Firewood — seasoned hardwood, pickup at the 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.
Residential and commercial, all of it. If you're searching for a tree service near me in Byron Center and want one outfit that can handle the removal, the stump and the plowing come January, that's the whole point of the list above.
Jason answers the phone at 3 a.m.
We're open 24 hours, Monday through Sunday. That isn't a voicemail box with an after-hours greeting — storm response is a core service here, not an upsell, and the phone gets answered at 3 a.m. on Christmas. Estimates are free, we're a and non-emergency requests get a response within one business day.
The reviews are the short version of the pitch: 5 out of 5 from 13 reviews.
Glad I waited for the right professional. Jason was very careful in his approach with my tree fallen after the storm. If not for him I would have definitely damaged my roof. Very happy with the results! — Tom, Google review
Awesome friendly service.. very personal and precise at that.. had a huge storm that snapped a few trees hanging over my house... he definitely saved my roof. How bad it was and how high up it was definitely show experience and dedication. Thanks for saving my roof!! — Marvin Fulbright, Local Guide, Google review
Janeen Moore is another of the twelve reviewers we can quote. The pattern in all of them is the same: a tree came down where it shouldn't have, Jason showed up, and the roof survived.
Permits, insurance and what happens to the stump
Two things Byron Center homeowners ask before anything else. First, permits: trees on private property generally don't require one, but street trees in the right-of-way do, and some neighborhoods set their own rules. We check it as part of the estimate so you're not the one making phone calls. Second, the wood: we'll buck the trunk to firewood length and stack it where you want at no extra charge, or haul it off — your call.
One thing we won't do is top a tree. Topping creates weakly-attached regrowth that fails in the next storm and shortens the tree's life. If a tree is structurally worth saving, we'll talk about bracing and cabling. If it isn't, we'll say so plainly. To get a quote for your property, call Jason directly at (616) 407-0044.
