"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."

"Very professional. I had some tall trees trimmed off my second story roof and a large tree cut down. They did an excellent job and cleaned up and hauled off everything. I highly recommend this company."

"The men from Matthew and Jody's were thorough, explained their estimates, carefully examined my yard for other trees that might need to be removed in the future, and their prices were more than fair. Their estimate was hundreds of dollars less than the other two companies I contacted.
They cut up and hauled off the trees they removed, then used a blower to make sure the yard was as clean as possible. 
They followed up afterwards to be sure that their work was satisfactory.
I highly recommend them for their honesty, integrity, fair-pricing, and the quality of their work.

"Brad is a nice guy, but only response to text. The price was high, but he jumped to work. The trees were removed, the ground was left unfinished. Every time I go to dig a hole in the yard, I find tree stumps that were just covered up. Most of the stumps are from cedar trees. Overall I would not hire them again for this type of project."

"-Kaleb and Karen are personable and professional. They attend to safety and their gear in that regard is excellent. They are thoughtful about every action, work together well, respond effectively to unforeseen circumstances, and are serious about being productive in their work. This is a dangerous business and they perform it in a supportive and, again, safe manner. -I'm 62 and, having had several trees removed, I've seen a good bit of this(utube warrior also). Was fascinated by their easy response to a necessary change in technique, and was impressed when they dropped a 100' plus pine(stepped it off on ground) exactly where Kaleb said they would. -They are an up and coming business having done this for several years on a part-time basis while Kaleb was in the military(now retired) and are very accomplished for a still relatively young couple. Young enough to be energetic and old enough to demonstrate the professionalism that comes from experience....appreciate the job they did and enjoyed spending time with and around them while they worked. Would recommend them to anyone! (Thomas and Amy Sheppard)"

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

Leaving the tree stump and letting it rot is never a good idea, as this leads to insect infestations and other frustrations. Additionally, decomposing trunks are at risk for diseases that spread out to the remaining plants and trees in the yard, thus ruining your whole outdoor aesthetic. It's usually best to remove the stump at the same time you remove the tree.

You can trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.

You don’t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump’s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.
