"If I could give them 10 stars I would. Owner fast tracked my work order due to a dangerous tree situation which best case would have ended up destroying my house, worse case would have killed all of us in it. They moved at lighting speed and they sure know what they are doing. 100 foot Hackberry tree came down with no issues although extremely close to our work sheet with not one scratch. The arborist Eric was extremely helpful pointing out other problem trees which they ended up taking most of them down. Crew was very respectful and extremely courteous. The bid price for the over all project was very very competitive. They operate super modern equipment between the trucks, chippers and stump grinders and catapillar there was probably 250 K worth of equipment parked in my driveway. They cleaned everything up in the yard moved all the debree including the walnuts from other trees as well as other wood which was extremely nice of them . They even grinded down the stumps although I told them that it was not necessary they did it anyway. Owners insurance rep will call you and will provide you with a copy of proof of insurance from the underwriter. They carry a very high liability which keeps you at ease in case something does happen. They also removed a tree next to me ac unit without incident and not a scratch. I gave each of the crew members a little lunch money. I deserved every penny of it and then some. The job they perform day in day out is extremely dangerous. All the trees they recommended taking down proofed to be rotten inside the stump which became evident after the trees had been removed. They made the right call on every single tree!!! I could not be more pleased with the job Highland Tree Service did on my property and would hire them again in a heartbeat. Job well done!!!!! Thank you, John and the rest of the Highland Tree Service Team!!!"

"They have done a wonderful job maintaining the lawn and are east to work with. I also hired them to trim the large oak tree in our backyard that had branches hanging over the roof. They did a great job of trimming, cleaning up all the branches and gutters and hauling everything away. I highly recommend them!"

"We had two trees removed and three stumps taken out. Tony did a wonderful job not only fulfilling the removal, but was able to see the visual aesthetic we were looking to achieve with the remaining trees/growth. His price was very competitive, the best out of all three quotes we received. His work is stellar, I have recommended him numerous times already to friends/associates."

"Aaron was prompt, courteous and professional. Charged what he quoted with no "extra, unforseen costs". Becuase of this, we had him take down two additional trees while he was here that we were thinking about taking down ourselves. Would highly recommend. We will hire him again should we need any more trees removed."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Although it’s possible, heavy machinery like a crane is necessary for removing an entire tree stump and all. This procedure is extremely costly, time-consuming, and usually unnecessary, as there are plenty of convenient and affordable stump removal options. 

Your best bet, if you want to be sure to remove a tree and its stump efficiently, is to speak with a professional. They’ll be able to walk you through the entire process.

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.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you’ve correctly identified it as an elm tree. Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.

Some trees will bounce back just fine, and others will struggle and possibly die. Evergreens, for instance, have a very difficult time recovering after droughts and usually die after periods of extreme dryness. Usually, you’ll have to just wait and see—if the drought occurs in wintertime, it’s possible that your tree will recover during the gentler springtime.
