Burman’s Tree Service: 24/7 Emergency Response in Southeast Michigan

In Southeast Michigan, a severe storm can turn a majestic oak into a major liability in a matter of seconds. When a tree falls on your home, blocks your driveway, or tangles with power lines, you don't just need a tree service—you need a rapid-response team with the heavy equipment to handle high-stress removals.



At Burman’s Tree Service, we specialize in 24/7 Emergency Tree Care. With over 100 years of combined staff experience, we provide a two-hour emergency response window to stabilize your property and eliminate hazards across Washtenaw, Jackson, and Western Wayne Counties.

Our Emergency Response Capabilities

We are equipped to handle the most dangerous and complex tree failures, regardless of the weather or time of day.

• Storm Damage Extraction: Using specialized rigging and cranes, we safely lift downed trees off structures (homes, garages, and vehicles) while minimizing secondary damage to your property.
• Precision Rigging for "Precarious" Trees: If a tree is leaning dangerously or partially uprooted, we utilize mechanical assistance and advanced rigging to bring it down in a controlled manner.
• Road & Driveway Clearing: We prioritize clearing access points so emergency vehicles and residents can move freely after a major weather event.
• Direct Insurance Billing: We are Washtenaw County’s leader in insurance-related claims. We can offer emergency billing directly to your insurance company, often requiring no money upfront to get the work started.

The Burman’s Advantage

• Two-Hour Response: While others might put you on a waiting list, our emergency team aims to be on-site within two hours of your call.
• State-of-the-Art Equipment: We arrive with cranes, mini-skid steers, and heavy-duty chippers to handle large-scale debris removal quickly and safely.
• Licensed & Fully Insured: Tree work is high-risk, especially in emergencies. We carry comprehensive insurance to protect our crew and your property.
• Municipal & Commercial Grade: We don't just serve homeowners; we are trusted by local cities, road commissions, and utility providers like DTE and Consumers Energy to handle large-scale municipal tree emergencies.

Important Safety Reminder

If a tree has fallen on power lines, do not approach the area. Treat all downed lines as live and dangerous. Contact your utility provider (DTE or Consumers Energy) immediately, then call Burman’s Tree Service to coordinate the safe removal of the tree once the lines are de-energized.

Disaster Strikes Fast. We Respond Faster.

When the storm clears, don't face the cleanup alone. Trust the experts who have seen it all and have the gear to fix it.
