5 out of 5 from 13 reviews
Jason Lewis has run Diversified Tree Company out of the Paris Avenue SE yard in south Grand Rapids for more than ten years. It's owner-operated, Black-owned and family-focused, with 25+ years of combined crew experience on the ropes. The work that fills the calendar is the work other outfits hedge on: storm-torn oaks lying across a roofline, century maples with a split union, limbs hanging sixty feet up over a fence line. The reviews below are the ones we can point to by name, and the rating is exactly what it says5 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, emergency storm removal
Awsome friendly service.. very personal and precise at that.. had a huge storm that snapped a few tress 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
Jason and his crew did a wonderful job removing several large old dead branches from tricky areas that hung over the house and fences. They were professional and reliable with their time and service. Reasonably priced. And left my yard cleaned up afterwards. I would use them with any tree services I need in the future. — Janeen Moore, Google review, pruning and cleanup
Three different homeowners, three different problems, and the same two notes keep coming back: the tree came down without touching the house, and the yard looked better afterward than it did before. That's the job. Every one of these reviews is public on Google under the business name, so you don't have to take our word for any of it.
Jason answers the phone at 3 a.m.
The phones are open Monday through Sunday, 24 hours — and that isn't a marketing line that routes to voicemail. Storm response is a core service here, not an upsell, so when a maple goes over onto your garage on Christmas night, somebody picks up. From the Paris Ave SE yard, most of the metro is within 20 minutes in normal driving conditions, which is why the storm calls from Wyoming, Grandville, Jenison and Byron Center tend to get a truck faster than people expect.
For non-emergencies, you'll hear back within one business day. Estimates are free, the company is BBB accredited, and the quote you get is the number on the invoice. When a storm claim is involved, we document the damage for your insurer as part of the cleanup.
