Boyne City tips downhill toward the south arm of Lake Charlevoix, and in October the ridges above town go copper all the way to the water. Bay Mountain Tree Services climbs those hillsides — the yards on the slopes, the drives along the Boyne River, the lots tucked back into hardwood. Removals happen on ground that falls away under your feet, with tree trimming to open a view or clear a roof and pruning that takes out deadwood while leaving the frame of the tree intact. When wind funnels down the lake and drops a hardwood across a two-track, storm damage cleanup means the road open, the log bucked, and the brush gone in one visit. A hillside left tidy after a hard day of cutting is worth standing back to look at.
