"Knowledgeable, on time and did more by far than bargained for, all of it expertly.. I was so pleased I added considerable extra money to try to cover the additional work; the boss divided it up among the crew as a tip. I am so glad I chose Great Basin and will go to them in the future any time I need the services of an arborist."

"We had 6 stumps to be ground--three of them extremely large, and one tree to be taken down. Terys and his crew came in and did the job in one afternoon, and did it well. They were courteous and extremely efficient. His lead man on stump grinding, Montague, was an expert with the grinding machine, and at the end of the job assured me that if after I dug through the sawdust and soil (I had it left to use as fill) and found any remaining stump that was too high he would return and make the job right. I have found none. The tree that the crew took down was right on the property line with my neighbor's very nice lawn and so I asked that they not fell the tree in the normal fashion and cut it up for removal, in order to insure my neighbor's lawn would be undamaged. They complied, taking the tree down from the top and no damage to his lawn was done. They then ground that stump as well. I highly recommend these folks, they will do the job right."

"Very professional. Showed up as arranged for an estimate and in spite of the rain walked around the yard while talking about the job. He identified problems without having them pointed out, talked about how to fix such problems and how he would approach it, the long term goals, plans, benchmarks etc. Offered a quote, thru in a couple of freebies and agreed to a discount for being paid for a year up-front. Showed up early the first day, worked his crew straight thru 'til the work was done, and left a much prettier and happier yard behind. All good, all easy, no complaints."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

How often and long you should water a tree depends on the species and if it is mature or newly planted. The amount of water is also based on the tree's size. A good rule of thumb is approximately 5 gallons per inch of the trunk's diameter.

Adjusting watering to the recommended suggestions for the tree type and weather conditions is vital. For instance, watering trees during a drought is necessary, and you may need to water more frequently than usual.

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.
