"Their service was VERY professional. The area was cleaned and left in impeccable conditions. Theyre the ONLY Tree Service I plan to use in the future. I've had a number of people inquire after seeing what a professional job they did. In addition, they strategically took down an 80+ yr old Magnolia tree that had grown around power lines, WITHOUT Any problems. They are the absolute Best. You won't be disappointed."

"We had a tree to remove in a tricky spot near high intensity power lines. Their service was professional and we had no issues whatsoever. They took the tree down, cleared the debris and swept the lawn clean. So professional. We hope to have them back soon to remove at least two more trees. We recommend them to anyone needing tree work."

Small jobs welcome

I’ve been doing tree and skid steer work for about 20 years, customer satisfaction is my goal. The job is not complete until you, the customer, are happy. I am a perfectionist, I like and want stuff done right! I am willing to travel almost anywhere within the state. I am highly efficient in a skid steer and working out of a bucket truck..

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.

"Pro tree service did a remarkable job! We are extremely pleased with their technical skill and professionalism in removing trees from our property. Brian is the owner. Anthony (Antonio) is his chief business partner. They use Google Translate to communicate Spanish to English and English to Spanish. They climb trees and use chainsaws ropes and pulleys to Cut branches limbs and tree trunks and lower them to the ground. They organize tree debris in neat piles and remove the piles promptly. They exercise safety and caution and work as a team with up to six or seven men. Also, they grind the stumps and spread the wood chips to eliminate an unsightly hump of wood chips. They use equipment like bobcats only to pick up heavy tree trunks, limbs, and bundles of branches, to place them neatly on the curb for removal. The lawn was only slightly compromised with the equipment tracks. They removed three large trees with age ranges from 110 years to 150 years old. The trees are also very close to housing structures, within 10 feet! The trees had overhanging branches above the roofs. Brian and Antonio, Using only ropes and their technical skill, remove the branches limbs, and tree trunks with no damage to the buildings at all! Quite remarkable to watch them perform their professional skills high in the air! We are pleased and excited to have Hired them. Mary and Milton B., Garden District, Montgomery, Alabama."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Unless it’s dead or dangerous, think twice about cutting down a tree in your yard. They’re good for health, well-being, wildlife, and the environment. Plus, local authorities often have regulations prohibiting the removal of trees, especially protected species or individual trees with historical value.

Usually, trees cannot grow back after their stump has been ground, but some very hearty types of trees can. For example, if you have a black locust or Redford pear, the grinding will need to go deep to prevent them from growing back. Ask your tree service or stump removal expert whether your tree can resprout after its stump is ground down.

Late winter is ideal, but if you’re pruning apple trees in the spring, prune them as early as possible in the season. You want to ensure your tree is just creeping out of dormancy and hasn’t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won’t see results until the following year.

That said, there’s no pruning season for unhealthy growth. Remove dead, dying, or diseased branches as soon as you notice them, regardless of the time of year.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.
