"Walkers did a great job for a reasonable price. They were right on time to do the job. They even took down a tree that was cracked that needed to be cut down that I forgot to tell them about. They cut it down at NO CHARGE. I have use other tree services, but Walkers is the one I am most pleased with. I would highly recommend them."

"I have hired Jimmy's tractor and tree service multiple times over the last 4 years. I live on 5 acres that is filled with oaks and widow makers, some of which were dangerously close to my home. Jimmy has always been able to accomplish the tasks with no issues and is very polite and professional but what made me inclined to hire his company in the first place is that he seemed like he could relate to a lot of people, he was very down to earth and understanding of our financial situation. His pricing has always been beyond fair which is why I now only call him when we need the service he offers."

"Dave and his crew were a pleasure to do business with. He was on time, and completed all work as described. I was very impressed by the accuracy of dropping the Redwoods. He was able to drop them across my driveway with pinpoint accuracy, which saved me thousands of dollars, as I didn’t need to take them down piece by piece. The Redwoods did break parts of my driveway and he came back and fixed my driveway at his expense. The dangerous tree in my backyard was cut down in pieces and Dave and his crew were very efficient in the work as well as cleanup."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

The costs vary from $250 to $5,000 per tree, depending on the size, complexity of the trimming, and labor.

Tree roots don’t necessarily break through concrete on their own, but they can certainly take advantage of existing cracks, even very small ones. As roots grow, they expand the cracks, making them larger and leading to serious and costly foundation damage. It’s a good idea to have repairs on any foundation cracks you’re concerned about.

Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more. Some arborists charge an hourly rate, typically between $100 and $350 per hour. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of work, the number of trees, accessibility, and whether you hire an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring, you should also consider their experience and insurance coverage.

Below are some estimated costs for common arborist jobs:

  • Small tree removal: $300 to $500

  • Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more

  • Tree health assessment: $150

  • Trimming a small tree: $75 to $200

  • Trimming a large tree: $150 to $400

  • Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more
