"Arbor Tek did an outstanding job taking down a large oak tree from my yard. I would certainly recommend them. They are professional and completed the job for the most reasonable price around. They were a lifesaver when other companies gave me quotes to do the job for a much higher price. They cleaned up the grounds and the roof. I am very satisfied with their tree service. I highly recommend them."

"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."

"Outstanding Work – True Professionals! I hired Strategic Land Management LLC through HomeAdvisor and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. From the very first contact, the team was responsive, courteous, and clearly experienced. They took the time to assess my property thoroughly and provided a detailed plan that addressed everything I needed. Their work was efficient, clean, and incredibly well done. They handled some pretty tricky tree removals and land clearing with skill and care, making sure everything was done safely and to a high standard. I really appreciated how they kept me in the loop every step of the way—no surprises, just great communication and honest work. It’s hard to find companies these days that combine quality craftsmanship with great customer service, but Strategic Land Management LLC does both. I highly recommend them for any land or tree work. This is a team that truly earns your trust and delivers on their promises!"

"I had a gas line installed at my house and asked them about sump grinding. They said Matthew & Joey Tree Service and several other companies.  I went in and checked Angies List and they were 1st on the list of two. Called them, they were here in less than 10 minutes, gave me a good price and the stump was gone. Total time from being told about them to job finished was about 30 minutes. Can't beat that. Fast, good job, good price. I'll use them again.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If you’re buying a small tree with lots of room to grow, expect to pay around $100 to $200 for a potted version. But if you’re buying a larger tree—say one over 10 feet—prices rise, starting in the $500 to $600 range and increasing quickly from there. Keep in mind that paying for professional palm tree planting or transplanting services will increase the cost.

Grinding down a tree helps reduce the risk of foundation damage and pests and even helps your home’s curb appeal. Stumps can also be a safety hazard. If grass grows above the stump and someone else mows your yard, they may be in for a rude awakening when they accidentally hit it.

The best time to prune Japanese flowering cherry trees depends on where you live and the type of flowering cherry tree. Some trees benefit from being pruned toward the end of winter or early spring, after the last freeze. Meanwhile, other trees do well after blooming, in late spring or early summer. Avoid pruning your flowering cherry tree in the early winter, as this encourages open wounds that can lead to infections or infestations. 

There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.

Only trim palm trees as needed, which is usually about once per year. However, don't stick to that schedule if the palm tree doesn't need it. Avoid trimming palm trees when possible. It’s best to trim palm trees only when you notice a buildup of dead fronds. That said, leave the brown fronds during the dormant season because this organic matter helps protect the tree from the cooler weather.
