The Company Your Neighbor Would Recommend
G & R Tree Surgeons started in 2023 with a simple idea: a tree company in Montcalm County should be the kind of outfit you'd recommend to your neighbor without a second thought. Three years and more than 500 completed projects later, that is still the entire business plan.
We're based in Sidney, Michigan, surrounded by exactly the kind of country that keeps a tree crew busy — mature hardwoods shading old farmhouses, wooded parcels that need thinning, lake properties ringed with trees, and in-town yards where a single overgrown maple can hang over three different things you'd rather it didn't. Michigan hasn't made it any easier on property owners lately. The emerald ash borer has left dead and dying ash standing across the region, oak wilt has put real constraints on when oaks can safely be pruned, and every round of wind and ice finds the weak limbs first. That's the environment this company grew up in, and it shapes how we work every day.
Why "Our Own Crews" Is the Whole Pitch
One number matters more to us than any other on this site: 100% of our jobs are done by our own crews. Plenty of companies will quote your tree, win the job, and hand the actual work to whoever is available that week. We don't. The crew that looks at your trees is the crew that shows up, runs the equipment, and stands behind the result. It's why the estimate you get is accurate, why the work matches what was promised, and why our Google reviews — 23 and counting, all five stars — read the way they do.
From a Single Trim to a Wooded Forty
Our crews work from Sidney across Montcalm County and into Rockford and Grand Rapids, and the job list runs from routine tree trimming — still the heart of the business — through full removals, stump grinding, hazardous takedowns of dead and leaning trees, storm cleanup, and logging work on larger wooded properties. Different jobs, same approach: look at it in person, price it honestly in writing, do it carefully, clean up completely.
Come See for Yourself
The best way to size up a tree company is to have them out to your property. Estimates are free, there's no obligation, and you can reach us seven days a week at (989) 658-5541. Walk the yard with us, hear what we'd recommend and why, and then decide. That approach has carried us through our first 500-plus projects — we'd be glad to bring it to yours.
