About Top View Tree Service
Local Experience. Professional Tree Care. A Better Approach to Your Property.
Top View Tree Service has built its reputation by helping Northern Michigan property owners care for their trees safely, thoughtfully, and professionally.
From residential neighborhoods and wooded acreage to lakefront properties with challenging terrain, our crews understand the trees, weather, and landscapes that make this region unique.
We provide the experience, equipment, and practical knowledge needed to handle everything from routine pruning and tree health concerns to difficult removals, storm damage, and carefully planned view development.
But our approach begins with something simpler: understanding what you want to accomplish on your property and determining the right way to get there.
Built for Northern Michigan Tree Work
Northern Michigan presents its own challenges.
Heavy snow, strong winds, storms, insects, disease, mature wooded lots, steep terrain, waterfront properties, and trees growing close to homes can all make tree work more complicated.
Our crews bring hands-on experience working in these conditions along with the professional equipment needed to approach each project efficiently and safely.

More Than Removing Trees
Some tree companies are focused primarily on cutting trees down.
Top View Tree Service takes a broader approach.
We provide professional tree trimming and pruning, tree removal, stump removal, storm-damage cleanup, tree-health assistance, and other tree care services—but one of the areas that especially reflects our philosophy is view development.
For many Northern Michigan properties, trees and the view are both important.
Thoughtful pruning, canopy thinning, and selective removal can often improve sightlines and bring more light onto a property without unnecessarily clearing the landscape.
It is about finding the right balance between the trees you value and the view you want to enjoy.
Professional Knowledge Matters
Tree care continues to evolve as arboricultural research provides better information about pruning, tree biology, pests, disease, safety, and proper work practices.
Top View Tree Service values continued education and connection with the professional tree care industry.
Our affiliations with organizations such as the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) and International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) provide access to industry education, safety resources, and current information about professional arboriculture.
Caring for Your Property While We Work
Good tree work is not only about what happens in the canopy.
It is also about what happens underneath it.
Homes, roofs, landscaping, lawns, driveways, neighboring trees, and other parts of the property all need to be considered when planning a job.
Our crews work to approach each project carefully, communicate clearly, and leave the work area clean when the job is complete.
Whether we are pruning one tree or completing a larger property project, we want the finished result to look intentional—not simply like tree work was done.
Tree Care for Homes, Wooded Properties & Northern Michigan Lakefronts
Top View Tree Service serves homeowners and property owners throughout the greater Traverse City area and Northwest Michigan, including communities in Grand Traverse, Leelanau, Antrim, and Benzie counties.
Our experience with wooded and waterfront properties makes us especially familiar with the challenges of maintaining trees while preserving the natural character that draws people to Northern Michigan in the first place.
