Storm-Damaged Tree Removal with Crane Assistance in Clarkston, MI

October 27, 2026

Protecting Our Customer's Home and Property with Safe, Professional Tree Removal

When severe storms hit Southeast Michigan, damaged trees can quickly become a serious safety concern for homeowners. Recently, Logan's Tree & Landscaping completed a challenging storm-related tree removal project in Clarkston, Michigan, where using a crane was essential to safely remove the tree while protecting the homeowner's property.


Why This Tree Removal Required a Crane

Not every tree can be safely removed using traditional tree-cutting methods. Storm-damaged trees can be especially unpredictable, with weakened limbs, unstable trunks, and the potential to cause additional damage during removal.

For this Clarkston project, our team determined that crane-assisted tree removal was the safest approach to protect the surrounding property and minimize risk.

Using a crane allows large sections of a tree to be carefully lifted and moved away from structures and other obstacles rather than allowing them to fall to the ground.

This controlled approach is especially valuable when removing storm-damaged trees near homes, garages, fences, and other areas where protecting the property is a top priority.


Safety Comes First at Logan's Tree & Landscaping

Our goal on every job is to remove hazardous trees safely and efficiently while treating our customers' properties with care.

For this recent Clarkston tree removal, the crane provided additional control throughout the removal process, helping our team address the storm damage while reducing the risk of further property damage.

A large tree hanging over your home can turn from a familiar part of the landscape into a serious concern. That was the situation at this Clarkston, Michigan, property , where a dangerous black walnut tree extended over the house. Logan’s Tree & Landscape of Clarkston removed the tree to address the risk it posed to the home and give the homeowners greater peace of mind. Removing a Tree Over a Home Takes Careful Planning When a tree extends over a roof, removal requires close attention to the surrounding property. The tree’s size, condition, position, and access all affect how the job should be approached. For this Clarkston project, the priority was removing the dangerous black walnut while protecting the home beneath it. Taking care of the concern also eliminated the need for the homeowners to keep worrying about that tree whenever severe weather approached. Is a Tree Near Your Home Becoming a Concern? A tree’s proximity to your house doesn’t necessarily mean it needs to be removed. However, changes in its condition deserve attention—especially when limbs extend over a roof or other frequently used areas. Reasons to request a professional assessment include: Dead or broken branches over your home. Visible cracks or splitting in the trunk. A new or increasing lean. Noticeable changes around the tree’s roots. Storm damage or hanging limbs. Large branches touching the roof. A professional assessment can help determine whether trimming, removal, or another approach is appropriate. Address Dangerous Trees Before Winter Fall is a good time to have concerning trees evaluated before Michigan’s winter weather arrives. Snow, ice, and wind can put additional stress on compromised branches and trees. If you’ve noticed damage or a change in a tree near your home, scheduling an assessment can help you understand the risk and plan the next steps.

At Logan’s Tree Removal , we recently completed a project in Ortonville, MI that highlighted the crucial need for removing large trees that are dangerously close to homes. In this particular case, a cluster of trees had grown too large and were posing a serious risk to the nearby property. When trees are allowed to grow unchecked near homes, they can become a hazard in several ways. Their branches may hang over the roof, posing a threat of falling during storms or strong winds. The roots can also damage the foundation of the house or disrupt underground utilities. In extreme cases, the entire tree may fall onto the property, causing extensive damage and potential harm to residents. In the Ortonville project, our experienced team carefully assessed the situation and determined that the trees needed to be removed promptly to ensure the safety of the homeowners. Using specialized equipment and industry-leading techniques, we were able to safely and efficiently remove the trees without causing any damage to the property. At Logan’s Tree Removal , we understand the importance of proactive tree maintenance and the role it plays in ensuring the safety of homes and their occupants. Our team is trained to identify potential risks and take the necessary steps to mitigate them, whether through tree removal, trimming, or other maintenance practices. If you have trees near your home that are growing too large or posing a risk, don’t hesitate to reach out to us for a free consultation. Our skilled arborists can assess the situation and recommend the best course of action to protect your property and loved ones. Remember, when it comes to tree safety, prevention is key.

At Logan’s Tree & Landscaping, we recently helped a homeowner in Waterford, MI by safely removing a large tree that was growing too close to their house. While trees add beauty and value to any property, they can also pose serious risks when they’re located too close to your home’s foundation, roof, or utility lines. In this case, the tree's roots were starting to impact the structure, and its branches were hanging dangerously close to the roof—creating the potential for storm damage and long-term foundation issues. Our team was able to carefully and efficiently remove the tree without causing any harm to the property, giving the homeowner peace of mind and added safety.
