"Blake and crew did a great job! Cut down 8 large trees, ground the stumps and hauled off wood and debris in one day. Always impressed with how they are well they do the job and clean up afterwards."

"Very dependable company, he was not only at the job on time, but 30 minutes early. We walked the property, I told him what trees I wanted to keep and what trees I wanted gone and he did exactly that. Basically left dirt, couldnâ t even tell brush and small trees were even there when he left. Best price hands down, I will be calling him back for future projects."

"Jake and his team did a nice job extending underground drainage from the front corners of my house down either side into the backyard. They also leveled out some uneven areas and filled in several large holes on the property. Then they overseeded and the new grass is starting to fill in. My cable line was cut during the job but they repaired it in a timely manner. Probably a little more expensive than other companies but I felt I got my money's worth."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

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.

In the short term, you’ll have a lot of fallen trees to deal with. Tree removal services costs typically start at $200 per tree and increase based on species and size. Then, you’ll have to deal with the loss of trees: That means a loss of shade and a greater risk of rain runoff and erosion. Also, you’ll miss out on the health and aesthetic benefits of having trees on your property, which could even affect the resale value of your home.

That being said, cutting down a tree it’s not always a bad idea. Trees growing too close to rooftops can present fire hazards or debris problems. You may need to remove diseased or dying trees to prevent future issues.

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.

Most tree removals take 3-8 hours, requiring additional time for stump grinding or debris hauling.
