Michigan winters don't negotiate. Diversified Tree Company LLC is an owner-operated, Black-owned, family-focused crew working out of our Paris Avenue yard in south Grand Rapids, and when the trees stop growing we're out plowing — seasonal residential and commercial snow removal for driveways, lots and walkways, cleared reliably all winter.

Driveways, lots and walkways, all season

Same crew, same trucks, same phone number you already have. We take seasonal accounts for homes and for businesses that need a lot open before staff and customers arrive, and we keep coming back through the season rather than showing up once after the worst storm.

  • Residential driveways and walkways
  • Commercial lots kept open through the season
  • Seasonal arrangements, not one-off gambles on the weather
  • Same owner-operated crew that handles your tree work

Call Jason to get on the list for the season — we'll go over your driveway or lot and what you need cleared.

Nine services, one crew

Brush work rarely arrives on its own. Usually there's a reason the pile exists, and the same crew handles the cause as well as the cleanup. Everything we offer:

  • Tree Removal — hazardous, diseased, dead or oversized trees, including large removals near structures with rigging
  • 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 and partial clearing for construction, expansion or overgrowth
  • Bracing & Cabling — structural support for valuable, split-prone trees instead of removal
  • Firewood — seasoned hardwood, pickup at the Paris Ave yard or delivered
  • Snow Plowing — seasonal residential and commercial driveways, lots and walkways
  • Curbside Leaf Pickup — rake to the curb in fall and we collect and haul it away

Jason answers the phone at 3 a.m.

Jason Lewis owns the company and runs the crew, and the phone is answered around the clock — 3 a.m. on Christmas included. Storm response is a core service here, not an upsell, which is why brush cleanup so often starts as a midnight call about a limb across a driveway. From the Paris Ave SE yard, most of the metro is within about 20 minutes in normal conditions. We've been at this for more than ten years with 25+ years of combined crew experience, we're BBB accredited, and we're rated 5 out of 5 from 13 reviews. Estimates are free and we respond within one business day.

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

We work across Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Grandville, Byron Center, Caledonia, Moline, Jenison, Hudsonville, Dorr, Ada, Wayland, Alto, Marne and Comstock Park — residential and commercial both. A single afternoon's pile and a multi-acre fenceline get the same crew and the same equipment.

Permits, insurance and what happens to the stump

Most brush questions are really scheduling questions, and most of those get settled in one call. Tell us roughly how big the pile is, where it sits, and whether anything still standing needs to come down — then we'll give you a number and a day. Call (616) 407-0044 or email thegreatestwoodchucker@gmail.com for a free estimate.

Good to know

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to bag anything?

No — loose piles at the curb are exactly what our equipment wants. Bags actually slow the crew down.

Do you take the stump too?

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

Can I keep the wood?

Yes. We'll buck the trunk to firewood length and stack it where you want at no extra charge, or haul it away with the brush.

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

Private property trees generally don't require a permit, but street trees in the right-of-way do, and some neighborhoods have their own rules. We handle the check as part of the estimate.

Will insurance cover storm cleanup?

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

Can you save specific trees when clearing brush?

Yes — selective clearing is our default. We flag the keeps together before anything starts and protect their root zones from equipment compaction.
