"Amazing experience! I canâ t say enough nice things about these guys! Truly. William and Shannon are good people. They are such hard workers and did an excellent job! To begin with - They were so professional. They were great communicators- keeping me informed every step of the way. They were great listeners too and did exactly what we wanted plus some. They treated our job (our tree) like it was in their own backyard & our yard looks better than it ever did. Outstanding! Also, the cost was beyond fair. Goliath Outdoor Services has a customer - for life! Best customer service EVER! Best tree service EVER!"

"They did a fantastic job! They cut down a tall and large pine tree that was very dangerous and close to falling on the house. They also went above and beyond to trim back some other trees in the front, side, and back of my house. They didn't charge extra for the additional service and cleaned up the debris too."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

Trees that flower in the spring—like dogwood, cherry, magnolia, and pear—should not be pruned during the winter. These spring-flowering plants grow buds on old growth, so you’ll actually remove what would’ve been gorgeous flowering foliage. Instead, wait to prune until right after they bloom, when the flowers fade.

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.

You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn’t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree’s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and oak wilt. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

Costs depend on tree height, trunk diameter, removal complexity, and required equipment.
