"Estate Masters did a wonderful job cleaning up and removing over 25 large pine trees from our property. Our expectations were exceeded when we returned home that evening to find the owner pressure washing our driveway to remove the mud tracks created by the skidsteer during the process. If you have trees that need to be removed, we definitely recommend Estate Masters Thank you!"

"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."

"Hired them to clear a one acre vacant waterfront lot and clean up a downed tree at our home. We were very pleased with both projects. The lot looks great and the downed tree was cleaned up nicely. Matt is totally honest and easy to work with. We strongly recommend him and will use him for any future projects."

I’ve been working in landscaping for 5-6 years with my father and he has more than 20 years of experience in landscaping. We are a family owned business and my father has worked for two landscaping companies and those companies are Montgomery landscaping and Golden Landscapes. We've done irrigation and drainage work in multiple locations in alabama, we also do trimming, mulch, and straw. We do work in Montgomery, Wetumpka, Prattville, Millbrook, Alabaster, and any other city in the state of Alabama. We are very well versed in trimming ,irrigation and drainage systems, and laying sod and installing shrubs, trees and flowers. We take pride in our work and we cater to every aspect of what the client asks of us and we always ask for the clients opinion of the project before we finish. I believe we should be hired because of are amazing work ethic and experience we have in doing landscaping and our top priority will be to satisfy all clients with any project they have for us to complete.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You’ll have to balance up the cost, the value of the tree (sentimental or otherwise), and the risk factors. An experienced arborist will help you understand whether transplanting is likely to be successful. The cost and hassle of transplanting a large, well-established tree are often not worth it, especially if the species is fast-growing and easy to source. The decision depends on the age and species of the tree, the conditions in the new site location, and how careful the company is when digging out and moving the tree.

If you’re wondering why tree trunks are painted white in your area, it’s usually to prevent sunscald, a condition where extreme shifts in temperature can cause tree bark to split. Fruit trees are especially vulnerable to sunscald, so this treatment is worth considering if it’s something that affects your trees.

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

Peach trees grow to be about 25 feet, so keep this in mind for pruning as well. If you plan to DIY, you’ll need to be comfortable working on a ladder. Without pruning, peach tree branches can sprawl nearly as wide as the tree grows tall, so make sure to plan pruning sessions at least once per year in the spring for controlled growth. And if you’re working on a ladder, be sure to follow all safety precautions, especially if you’ll be dealing with falling branches.
