"ACE Tree Service is the absolute best. I will use them again and recommend them to anyone. First Zach came to give me the quote the same day I called. He was very helpful and a pleasure to meet. He gave me a very fair price so I signed up to have them do the work. A few days or so later, Tim and his crew came to cut the beast and other things. They did a beautiful job. Cutting down my granddaddy pine tree, trimming another tree and cutting smaller ones. Cleaned my yard very well. Today, in less than 24 hours of being cut down the pickup crew arrived to carry off the debris. They too did a spectacular job. No trace of the trees and branches. Iâ m very impressed with the quality job they have done."

"Communication was excellent. The final price, which was very reasonable and matched the estimate.
Joel came out to give an estimate and showed up exactly on time. He didn't try to sell us anything more than what we wanted removed. He contacted us quickly with an estimate that both my husband and I were very surprised to hear....almost thought there must be a catch involved or that the actual bill would be higher than the estimate.
Joel showed up on the agreed day and first thing in the morning with a full crew, at least 8 men, a huge truck with a lift, and a separate tractor for hauling away.   We had 3 huge trees which were far too close to the house removed plus several smaller ones and countless large branches cut back away from the roof and decking. 
Joel and his crew were right on time and very polite. Cleanup job was superb. Other than the missing trees and limbs, you would never know they were here.
I'm so pleased, that we will be calling him back when the budget allows to tackle the remaining giants which are too near the driveway. 
We would highly recommend Matthew and Jody's for any work needed and certain you won't find a more professional job at any price!!!
Thank you Joel for the super job!

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The speed of your tree root removal process depends on a few different factors, including the size and type of tree. However, the fastest method of killing tree roots is applying chemical herbicide, which starts working quickly and efficiently. But this removal method has its drawbacks, such as having a negative effect on the surrounding vegetation and landscaping. Other options like rock salt and stump grinding work relatively quickly and cause less damage to your yard.

Pruning is an effective way to prevent a diseased branch from infecting the rest of the tree. If the infection isn’t caught early enough and the pathogen has spread to the trunk or the majority of the branches though, it is too late to prune off the affected areas and you’ll likely need to remove the tree.

There are many signs that a tree is diseased or dying, and if you suspect that’s the case, you should call an arborist immediately. You might notice rot or fungus on the trunk or that the tree is beginning to lean to one side. Brittle branches or signs of root damage are other indicators that a tree is in trouble. If the tree is dying, it might be time to cut the tree down so it doesn’t fall.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.
