A July storm can build over the plains northeast of Gladwin all afternoon and then arrive in about four minutes. Top Flight Tree Removal works the yards, drives, and back lots of Gladwin County when that happens — storm damage cleanup with the saws going, the trailer filling, and the driveway opened first because that is what a household needs first. The rest of the year is the work that prevents the emergency: tree removal for the trunk dying from the top down, tree trimming and pruning for the limbs that hang exactly where nobody wants them. A big removal beside a house is a matter of rope, rigging, and refusing to hurry. When the last of the brush goes on the trailer, the yard should feel bigger than it did that morning.
