"Daniel and his team provided tree and clean-up services in the most efficient and timely fashion. They were on time, immediately attacked the tree issues, brought tools that saved time, executed perfectly, and did so in half the time of other services I have used. Daniel understands the importance of expert service and communications. He and his team, small by comparison, move quickly, bringing the right tools and skills, executed and cleaned up thoroughly. Daniel was an expert in communications from the first meeting to shaking hands at completion. If the reader is interested in a service provider that knows his business, provides the right services, and whose price point is tailored to the task, Daniel and his team would be my number one recommendation."

"New Leaf tree service was amazing! It was a very busy time of year for them, but they were able to fit us in and they kept their word on the day and time. They arrived on schedule and did a fantastic job with the work proposed, which was quite a lot. They removed a giant pine and did lots of trimming. We are very happy with the professional job they did and highly recommend them!"

"They were extremely professional. They were punctual and followed directions to the tee. The tree they cut down for me was in a precarious position and they took it down without any damage to any structure or fence. After the tree was down they also stacked the debris to make it easier to haul away to burn. They were friendly and most accommodating. They were forthcoming with insurance information. I highly recommend them."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.

No, you should never top maple trees. Topping injures the tree and leads to the rapid growth of a weak canopy, which can be hazardous to rooftops and utility lines. Removing the crown can also leave the interior bark vulnerable to sun damage, leading to insects and disease. A topped tree can also reduce property value and permanently damage the appearance of a tree.

Often, it’s the homeowner’s responsibility to handle the aftermath when a neighbor’s tree falls on their property. But if a tree has been obviously dead for a significant period of time and caused damage when it fell, a case can be made that the owner should have removed it, especially if the neighbor wrote you a letter about the tree or asked you to take it down. This can be grounds for a successful lawsuit in claims court and is a good reason to always pay attention to your trees and remove dead trees before they fall.

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.

You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.

If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.
