- Walnut Tree Services, IncWe were so pleased with Walnut Tree service, beginning with the estimate from (Levi), came to our home twice in a span of ~6 months. They honored our original estimate and when we added work he walked us through all the options and allowed us to decide. The scheduling was prompt. We had 15 trees on our property and 4 trees on our neighbors property line removed. Most of these were Ash trees which are now dying off on the east coast. The crew showed up on time, with a police detail. The equipment was well maintained and worked well. The crew was amazing! They were friendly, responsive and skilled at tree removal. 19 trees in one day (these were big trees)! Isis was our foreman and orchestrated the entire operation with the crew seamlessly. Our yards were left in excellent condition. I was beyond impressed and highly recommend this company. They appeared to enjoy the work and working together. Lastly, the price was fair and reasonable, when compared to other companies. Thank you Walnut Tree Service

- Bamberg Tree ServiceBamberg Tree Service did exactly what I requested, to cut down three trees on my property and cut the trunks into smaller pieces that I could move on my property. They provided a quote in writing, in advance and worked efficiently and performed the job right. Customer service was excellent and I appreciated the Veteran Discount they gave me. I requested that they cut the tree trunks into pieces that I could move myself and they did just that. When I need tree service in the future I will call them

- Tree Services of New EnglandWould highly recommend Tree Services of N. E.! Marcelo was excellent about getting touch with us and showing up when he said he would. His team did a beautiful job cleaning up; not something many tree companies do. Don’t bother calling anyone else. This team went above and beyond of what we expected. Marcelo was definitely more reasonable than other local tree service. Nice job, guys! Liz, from Cohasset

"They were quick to respond with the initial estimate and were able to schedule the work within 2 weeks. The crew arived early in the AM. I was impressed with how quickly and efficienctly they worked. The crew was very friendly and personable, and I felt that they took great care to protect my home. When they had finished, I was told that they would return to remove the larger tree trunk segments that could not be ground down in the next few days. It took them 3 weeks to pick them up.

"I met with Rudy of RGS Tree Service and received an estimate to remove a small Maple tree (25-30 ft.) that had rotted and was a fall hazard, and to trim back a couple of other trees in my yard. Once we agreed on a price ($800) that I was comfortable paying, I received a written agreement from Rudy that described the work to be performed. The next morning, a fleet of RGS vehicles showed up, including a bucket truck, along with a dozen workers. My job was small, so after assessing the work to be done, they left behind the men, vehicles and equipment needed for my job, while the others went onto their next job. The tree work was done quickly and competently. The cut tree was guided by rope and allowed to fall safely into the driveway. These guys were surgeons with their pole and chain saws, cutting with precision. The downed tree and cut limbs were fed into a chipper and disposed of. My property was then swept and blown clean. The crew was friendly and courteous, and understood the work that I wanted performed. I am extremely satisfied with the work performed by RGS and will definitely hire them again, when the need arises. 5 STARS!

"Barrett Tree Service team is amazing. Very detail oriented, made sure to familiarize themselves with our site ahead of time and understand the challenge of a very narrow driveway and limited space we had to approach the trees that needed to be cut. The team arrived on time, they were very careful when backing in and out of the driveway, and ensured no incident or damage took place. Everything was executed flawlessly and we couldn't be happier. I strongly recommend these company.

"After talking to 5 different tree removal/trimming companies I received a referral from a friend and reached out to McKinney Brothers. It was so refreshing to talk with someone that understood our needs and wanted to help shape the vision of the property. We had a number of pines that took up the backyard, some Bradford pears that outgrew their space as well as some large trees in the front of the house that we wanted to be trimmed back from the roof. The communication/experience was fantastic and I would absolutely recommend/ hire again.

Tree Service FAQ
-
How much does it cost to remove a tree?
Answer: Typically, tree removal costs between $200 and $2,000. Tree removal costs vary widely based on the number of trees being removed, the height of each tree, the diameter of each tree trunk, and accessibility to the tree. Smaller trees are usually less expensive to remove than larger ones, as are those that are more easily accessible.
-
Do you need a permit to cut down a tree?
Answer: In many areas, you don’t need a permit to cut down a tree on your own private, residential property. But some municipalities may require tree removal permits for conservation purposes or to comply with local ordinances. When you hire a tree removal pro, they’ll be able to tell you whether you need a permit for your specific tree removal project.
-
When is a good time to trim trees?
Answer: In most regions, the best time to trim your trees is during the winter months. During the active growing season (spring through fall), trimming your trees can leave them more vulnerable to disease and less likely to thrive. During the winter months, when trees are dormant, trimming them will cause less stress and leave them ready to grow again in the spring.
-
What is the average cost to cut a tree down?
Answer: Tree removal costs between $200 and $2,000 per tree. Establishing an average cost can be difficult because each tree will be assessed and priced based on factors like height, trunk diameter, and accessibility. In general, smaller trees cost less to remove than larger trees, as do trees that are more accessible.
-
How much does it cost to service a tree?
Answer: The cost to service a tree is typically between $430 and $1,320. The cost to service a tree depends on several factors, including what exactly you’d like done, the tree’s height, its health, the location of the tree, and local labor costs. The national average cost for tree services is $865. Tree trimming isn’t necessary for all trees but can improve their health and longevity by encouraging new growth.
-
What is the difference between tree trimming and pruning?
Answer: While tree trimming and tree pruning might appear similar to the untrained eye, they serve different purposes. Tree pruning is used to thin a tree by removing unnecessary or burdensome branches. Tree trimming promotes healthy growth by trimming but not removing branches.
