Brawner’s Tree Service handles tree removal, trimming, stump grinding, and 24/7 emergency work in Augusta, MI. We are a family-owned crew working the Kalamazoo River valley between Kalamazoo and Battle Creek, and Augusta sits right in it, with the wooded ground of Fort Custer just across the river and plenty of old village shade trees along M-96. Call (269) 371-5449 or request a free estimate.
What Tree Work Do Augusta Properties Need?
Most Augusta calls come down to a handful of situations, and we only recommend removal when it is the right move:
- Storm-damaged trees, split trunks, or a tree down on a roof or fence
- Dead or declining trees, including ash lost to emerald ash borer
- Large trees crowding an older home, garage, or driveway
- Leaning trees with lifting roots or a worsening tilt
- Stumps and brush along property lines and wood edges

Signs an Augusta Tree Needs Work
Call if you see dead branches or a crown thinning from the top, summer leaves that brown or drop while nearby trees stay green, cracks or peeling bark, mushrooms at the base, or a lean that has changed since last season. Small holes with sawdust-like debris point to insects, which our tree health care service is set up to diagnose. Trees near the river sit on ground that holds water, so a weak-rooted tree there is worth checking before storm season.

Does Augusta Require a Tree Removal Permit?
In most cases you do not need a permit to remove a tree on your own property in Augusta. A tree in the public road right-of-way is the exception, since removing, trimming, or pruning one there calls for a right-of-way permit through the Road Commission of Kalamazoo County. We will take a look and let you know which applies before we begin.
Tree Risks Worth Watching Around Augusta
Oak wilt should set the timing for oak work. The Michigan DNR advises against pruning oaks from April 15 to July 15, when sap-feeding beetles spread the fungus and an infected red oak can die within weeks, so we plan oak work for winter. Ash is the other concern, since emerald ash borer has killed tens of millions of Michigan ash trees since 2002, and dead ash only gets more dangerous to remove over time. Storms bring the sudden damage, and Augusta’s low riverside ground can loosen a tree’s root hold once the soil stays saturated.

FAQs About Tree Service in Augusta
Can you remove a tree close to my house?
Yes. With no room to drop it whole, we take it down in sections with rigging or a lift, protecting the lawn and structures as we go.
Do you remove ash killed by emerald ash borer?
Yes, and sooner is better, since dead ash gets brittle and harder to take down safely over time.
Is stump grinding included with removal?
It is an add-on. Mention it at the estimate and we will price it with the job, or grind older stumps on their own.
When should oaks be trimmed?
Winter, to avoid the April 15 to July 15 oak wilt window. A storm-broken oak limb is a hazard any time, so call if one comes down.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency service?
Yes, for fallen trees, hanging limbs, and storm damage, day or night.
