"Danne is excellent, and does the work himself (with a partner or two) for a reasonable price and cleans up completely afterwards. He also knows his stuff. I am so happy that my live oak tree has been cut back significantly thanks to his expertise, which told him that my radical plans for the tree could indeed be carried out without damaging it. Friendly, reliable and kind. Get a quote from this guy!"

"This company was amazing to do business with! They were on time and completed the job in the time frame they estimated to get it done. They were very professional and truly hard working. I can not say enough good things about them. We were so fortunate to have hired them. They managed the job well and were courteous to the neighbors. We got 3 bids on this job because of the number of trees to be cut and their size. Ridgeline Tree Service provided a fair bid and exceeded our expectations. We will use their service again. "

They called me right after I called them for the service. They are really nice guys, thoughtful, and courteous. Also, the tree man was so experienced."

There are four common ways to prune a tree correctly: crown thinning, crown reduction, crown raising, and crown cleaning. The method you choose depends on the purpose of pruning. However, making the correct cuts is a vital part of the process, regardless of your method. Pruning incorrectly can damage or even kill the tree. So, you may want to hire a professional tree-trimming company to tackle the task.
Early signs that a tree is struggling include premature leaf shedding and lesions or other strange markings. Peeling bark, dead or rotten branches on the ground, and a conspicuous lack of leaves can all be signs that a tree has started to die. By the time a tree starts leaning, it’s usually too far gone to save.
Yes, burning wood with Dutch elm disease is a safer way to dispose of it than, say, tossing it in with the rest of your yard waste, which could potentially allow it to spread to healthy trees. But it’s always a good idea to check with your local government to make sure you’re complying with any ordinances about removing diseased trees as well as burning brush piles.
Aim to have your trees inspected and pruned in early spring. At this point in the year, tree service professionals can note where there is old growth from winter and cut that back to encourage new growth for the rest of the year. Pruning at the wrong time of the year could make your trees prone to diseases.
Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.
