"Shaw is knowledgeable and informative. He went above and beyond to ensure my property was taken care of and not damaged anymore by the trees that were blown over in my yard. He and his crew took great care with my buildings an equipment that were around the damaged trees. I've hired SR Tree Services two more times to help clear willows and mulch the shrubs. I'll continue to hire them as I go along here. Thanks guys for all you did for us! Fair pricing too!"

"We had a great experience, they were flexible with meeting up to review the scope of our project, estimate was received quickly, the work was completed shortly after and extremely professional. We had several trees to cut down near structures and the control they had with dropping the trees was very impressive and fun to watch. I would highly recommend them to anyone."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.

Coverage varies quite a bit by policy, but most homeowners' insurance policies will cover $500 to $1,000 of the cost of removing a tree. Additionally, if your tree causes damage to your property, like your house, many policies will cover some or all of the costs to repair the damage, depending on why the tree fell.

Some fast-acting products can rot a tree stump in four to six weeks. Keep in mind, these products contain harsh chemicals that may prevent regrowth in the area. Other products, like fertilizer that contains lots of nitrogen, can enhance the process and rot a stump in about a year. (This is compared to the ten years it can take naturally for a stump to rot.)

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.

Professionals use assessments, strategic cuts, specialized equipment, and safety measures to ensure healthy growth or the safe removal of trees or shrubs.
