"This company goes way beyond expectations. They trimmed all my trees and brushes around my house to look healthy. They removed 4 sets of bushes. They cleaned up everything. He noticed my sprinklers were not working and replaced the parts ( of course with my permission). All workers were polite and had a great work ethic. I wish I had more work for them. I am sharing their work with my friends to get them more business. They are reasonable in their charges. They are easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend them."

"I called HomeAdvisor looking for a tree trimmer. They responded within minutes and within an hour Robert was at the work site to evaluate the job abd managed to schedule a two-man crew for 0800 the next morning. They. were on time, worked in a safe and prifessional manner, and did a thorough clean-up. I was very impressed."

"I hired Jimmy's Tree Care service to cut/trim four large trees in my front and back yards. They showed up on time, completed the work efficiently and in a timely manner, and cleaned up very nicely afterwards. They came in competitively priced and did an outstanding job. I would definitely recommend Jimmy and his crew and will hire them again in the future for my next tree service. Great work and thank you. Cliff"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that’s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it’s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to hire a local arborist who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.

In most cases, your neighbor is responsible for roots from their tree that cause damage to your property. If your pavement, the foundation of your home, or a fence is damaged by roots from a neighbor’s tree, you likely will have legal recourse for financial relief. While it’s better to notify your neighbor of any problems you notice as soon as they arise to avoid costly damage, there are some instances where filing a civil suit is your only recourse. Your homeowner’s insurance company might wish to do so on your behalf if you file a claim.

Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.
