"Ezra Tree service did a fantastic job. They trimmed my trees very well and they removed the trees I no longer wanted and did an exceptional job. They even came back and repaired a sprinkler they accidentally broke. Overall, a great company and I would highly recommend them"

"This was my first time using Angies list. I was inquiring about having a couple of trees removed. Jimmy's Tree Care was the first company to contact me, right away I might add. They were able to give me a quote based off a picture I texted them. After getting several more quotes, all which were higher, I decided to go with them. They finished a job early and wanted to come by the same day but I was at work. They arrived 1/2 hour early the next day which was great. There was a crew of 4 plus the foreman and they got the job done quick and did an awesome job of cleaning up. I would highly recommend Jimmy's Tree Care for anyone needing work done on their trees."

"Robert and his team did a fantastic job removing (5) trees from my yard at a fairly reasonable price. They covered my pool before proceeding with any work. They're very efficient, polite, and left my property clean. Even my neighbor hired them on the spot. We're very pleased with their service and will recommend them to anyone. Two thumbs up!"

"The boss and workers were professional and cleaned up their mess of tree branches. They took the two dead trees out easily without having to climb either one. It took them 45 minutes from start to finish and I paid $800. A good deal for Evergreen."

"These guys they send out are not tree experts & have chainsaw, will travel, should be their motto. They are polite and helpful but they cut too many good limbs off one tree so now we don't have much shade. I hope the limbs grow back but doubt it. I have to watch everything else they do, to make sure they don't break anything else (dropped limbs on patio furniture) and only cut what's necessary. I tried to call the boss or fast-talking salesman to complain that they are cutting out too much but the mailbox was full so I couldn't talk to him or leave a message. Wish I'd hired the first guy; I have a feeling he knew more about what he was doing. Next time I'll Google a certified arborist (the first one I called didn't return my call), who will cut out only what is needed to be pruned and will leave the good limbs (they said they were dead but they had green foliage on them so they weren't dead."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Using Epsom salt to kill a tree stump typically takes between six and 12 months. While this may seem like a long time, it is significantly faster than the natural decomposition process, which can take up to seven years. This method is a viable DIY option for stumps that do not pose an immediate hazard. If you need a faster solution, you can hire a professional for stump removal or grinding, though this may cause more damage to the surrounding ground.

No, you cannot plant a tree above a gas line. Tree roots grow and spread over time and can sometimes dent, crack, or penetrate a gas line. Those same roots may also cause accessibility problems for maintenance or repairs. You can generally plant vegetation with non-invasive root systems, low-growing vegetation, and flower beds near gas lines. 

An unsafe tree can cause serious damage to your home and property, so tree inspections are important to ensure your home isn’t in danger from a nearby tree. Unhealthy trees can also be unsafe trees, as diseases and insect damage can compromise a tree’s stability, leading to potential damage and safety risks.

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. 

You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for professionals who hold the proper licensing and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don’t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.
