"He did a great job! He trimmed some large trees on my property, cleared a large portion of my woods, and left it looking really good. He did several tasks while he was here and left everything better than he found it, not much more to say, I will hire Howard tree service in the future."

"When a storm came through, a tree fell on top of our cars and left a huge mess. My neighbor had been using Matt with JH Lawn Care for years and told me to give him a call. I called Matt the next morning, explained what had happened, and he immediately headed our way. Even though it was emergency work, his pricing was very reasonable. My insurance adjuster actually had to move things around because Matt already had his tree crew on the way. They were at my house by mid-morning, and by that afternoon the tree was gone and everything was cleaned up. Matt and his crew were friendly, professional, and worked incredibly hard. They made a stressful situation so much easier to deal with, and I couldn't have asked for better service. I would definitely recommend JH Lawn Care to anyone who needs tree work or lawn care."

"We had a tree to remove in a tricky spot near high intensity power lines. Their service was professional and we had no issues whatsoever. They took the tree down, cleared the debris and swept the lawn clean. So professional. We hope to have them back soon to remove at least two more trees. We recommend them to anyone needing tree work."

"Skyline was prompt on their timeline, looked over my project to be done and gave me an acceptable estimate. They were knowledgeable, professional and willing to answer questions. When they came to do the job they didn’t mess around, got right to it, got it done and thoroughly cleaned everything up. Communication was on point. We talked about some other projects that they may be helpful in the future. I’d definitely hire them again as needed."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The average lifespan of an oak tree is 100 to 300 years, so long as it isn’t impacted by diseases like sudden oak death. Some species will last shorter or longer, depending on where you live.

The best plan of action for an unhealthy or unsafe tree will depend on its condition. An arborist can recommend whether trimming or removal is the right call for your tree. Preventive tree trimming can keep trees safe and healthy, so make regular tree trimming a part of your yard maintenance plan.

You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for professionals who hold the proper licensing and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don’t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.

A tree can split because of high winds, a change in temperature, or from an infestation or tree disease. All of these factors can overlap, making a single cause difficult to pinpoint. While winter storms are some of the most common causes for a tree to split, it can also happen because of termites or rot.

Yes, carefully prune back dead branches—don’t wait for pruning season. This helps keep your maple tree healthy and also helps prevent large branches from falling unexpectedly. Don’t seal the cut branch—trees can naturally take care of these wounds—but be sure to remove any source of fungus or pest infestation to help save the tree.
