Diversified Tree Company LLC runs out of a yard on Paris Avenue in south Grand Rapids. Jason Lewis owns it, runs the crew, and is on the jobs that make homeowners nervous — a storm-torn oak hanging over a roofline, a century maple with a split union and a kid's swing under it. Ten-plus years in business, 25+ years of combined crew experience, owner-operated, family-focused and Black-owned. From the Paris Ave SE yard, most of the metro is within 20 minutes in normal conditions. That's the whole reason the emergency line means something.
Fourteen West Michigan towns, one hometown crew
Same crew, same standards, same trucks, whichever driveway we pull into:
- Grand Rapids
- Wyoming
- Grandville
- Byron Center
- Caledonia
- Moline
- Jenison
- Hudsonville
- Dorr
- Ada
- Wayland
- Alto
- Marne
- Comstock Park
Wyoming, Byron Center and Caledonia are a short run down Division and 68th. Grandville, Jenison and Hudsonville sit west along the Chicago Drive corridor. Ada is east of the yard, Comstock Park and Marne north of it, and Dorr, Moline, Wayland and Alto put us into the rural lots and fence lines south of the metro — bigger trees, more room to drop them, and often work an in-town crew won't drive to. If you're searching for tree service near me from any of those addresses, you're inside our normal day.
Nine services, one crew
Residential and commercial, and the list is exactly nine — no more, no padding:
- Tree Removal — hazardous, diseased, dead or oversized trees, including large removals near structures using rigging and controlled lowering.
- 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.
- Emergency Tree Service — storm response for fallen trees, blocked driveways and roof-threatening limbs, with insurance-claim documentation.
- 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 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 and we collect and haul it away.
Jason answers the phone at 3 a.m.
Monday through Sunday, open 24 hours. That isn't a marketing line about an answering service — it means a live person picks up at three in the morning on Christmas when a limb is sitting on your roof in Byron Center. Storm work is a core service here, not an upsell tacked onto a quiet week. For everything that isn't an emergency, you'll hear back within one business day. We're a BBB accredited business and rated 5 out of 5 from 13 reviews.
Glad I waited for the right professional. Jason was very careful in his approach with my fallen tree after the storm. If not for him I would have definitely damaged my roof. Very happy.
Permits, insurance and what happens to the stump
Three things come up on almost every estimate, in every town on the list. We check permit status for you before any saw comes off the truck, because the rules change depending on whether a tree is on your property or in the right-of-way. We photograph and document storm damage so your claim has something to stand on. And we tell you up front what the stump and the wood are going to cost or save you, so nothing shows up on the invoice as a surprise. Estimates are free everywhere we work — including the towns at the edge of the map.
Don't see your town? We'll take jobs just past the map for the right project. Call Jason at (616) 407-0044 or email thegreatestwoodchucker@gmail.com and describe the tree.
