"Johnsons Tree Care did outstanding work on my relatively small job. Kevin and Adam were experienced, professional and detail-oriented. Many tree companies would not accept such a small job, but Johnsons Tree Care staff really want to help, and take great pride in their work! I highly recommend them for any tree service needs you have!"

"Aly's team did a fantastic job. They pulled weeds, cleaned up pathways, pruned our shrubs and trees. I got a real chance to look at there job, 3-4 weeks after they did it and realize that not only did they do what I needed, but the job they did on trimming our trees is the best job we've had in years. Definitely want them back."

"I recently hired GP Tree Services to remove a large tree from the front of my home, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail. From the initial consultation to the final cleanup, their team was outstanding every step of the way. They arrived on time, assessed the job thoroughly, and explained the process clearly. The crew worked quickly and safely, ensuring that surrounding structures and landscaping were protected throughout the removal. Their equipment was top-notch, and their expertise was evident in how seamlessly they handled the job. What stood out the most was their commitment to leaving my property spotless. After the tree was removed, they cleaned up every bit of debris, making it look as if the tree had never been there! If you’re looking for a reliable and skilled tree service company, I highly recommend them. They exceeded my expectations in every way, and I will definitely call them again for any future tre"

"Excellent service. Knowledgeable about trees and the best time to trim/prune. (He advised to wait to prune for health of the tree rather that do the job at the moment..) Have used Bama's for several years. Crew is careful about under plantings to avoid damage. Courteous and hardworking. Highly recommend."

"I was contacted by Eli just after I put a request for prices to do the above work. He made an appointment for the next morning. After I made the decision to hire him, he started the work on the following Monday. He removed two 60 ft. trees. He and his crew were extremely organized and efficient with their time. Trees were removed along with all debris. The cleanup of the both front and backyards were great. I would highly recommend him for work and plan on having him back to prune fruit trees at the proper time."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Some trees, such as silver maples, birches, sycamores, and scotch pines, shed their bark naturally. If your tree is not one that does this, it might have fallen prey to pests, fungi, or diseases. It could also simply be suffering from an extreme weather change, such as a snowstorm or heat wave. If you’re still stumped, consulting with a pro can help you diagnose your tree’s specific problem.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.

Since each tree is different, it’s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it’s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it’s best to have them removed sooner rather than later.

Trees should be pruned every two to five years, depending on its age and type. Young trees should be inspected and pruned every two to three years. Mature trees should be inspected and trimmed every three to five years, and fruit trees should be pruned annually with a careful eye on seasonal growth. Evergreens typically don’t need pruning, unless branches or limbs are damaged, diseased, or harboring pests.
