Serving Climax, Michigan
Climax is the Kalamazoo County village named from a treetop in 1834, the first community in Michigan to get free rural mail delivery.
Local & Insured
Climax is a Kalamazoo County village of about 710, seventeen minutes southwest of Battle Creek at 965 feet. It got its name in 1834 when Daniel Eldred climbed a tree, looked over the open land and said it capped the climax. Settlers came from 1831, the village incorporated in 1899, and on December 3, 1896 it became the first place in Michigan with free rural mail delivery.
This is farm country on glacial loam: sugar maples and red oaks on village lots, white pine and Norway spruce windbreaks, black walnut in the fencerows, and ash rows the borer finished. Climax shares schools with Scotts, and we pair the two on one run.

Why a Battle Creek Crew Comes to Climax
We pair Climax with Scotts and Galesburg jobs, so Marisol can book an estimate within a few days, and there is no trip charge.
Pine and spruce rows take the wind first, and a snapped white pine top over a machine shed is a common call. We take the broken and leaning trees and leave the row working.
Borer-killed ash goes brittle fast. We drop it from the field side while it still holds a hinge, chip the tops and spare the live walnuts and oaks.
Village lots are tight and the sugar maples are big. Pieces go down on ropes, the fence and the neighbor's garden stay untouched, and we rake before leaving.
Not for a tree standing wholly on your own lot. Battle Creek's curb-lawn permit and forestry license stop at the city line; Climax answers to its own local ordinances, as noted above. Storm limbs get chipped or hauled, and outside city and village limits you check whether a burn permit is needed that day. More on our permits page.
A limb on the roof gets a same-day or next-day answer at (269) 555-0142. Routine jobs are usually priced within days and finished within two weeks, and after a storm Climax keeps its place in line.
If a windbreak pine on your Climax place has lost its top or a dead ash row needs to come out, phone us or ask online for a free price on paper.
