"This brother team is awesome! They were more than accommodating and I was more than happy with the service. I had 100-year-old trees and a fence that was falling over from neighbors trees, many trees, going into my yard and pushing over the fence. Expectations and made my fence fixing nightmare. So much easier to deal with and in fact saved me money on the fence situation. I appreciate them both. I will continue to hire them with my tree needs in the future and I definitely recommend them to anyone who not only needs trees cut but has a landscaping nightmare. These are the guys for the job for sure! And their pricing is more than fair!"

"They were complete strangers to me. I walked him around the 4 big trees I wanted removed. He quoted price. We diddled around on an acceptable price. Agreed to it and scheduled a start day and time. Did a good job of cutting them off a ground level and carting off tree remains. I will look to them for future tree work."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

There are a few instances in which removing a tree is the best option. You might do this if the tree looks to be a major danger—potentially falling onto your home, your car, or other parts of your property—or it’s diseased beyond repair. A tree that is growing too close to your house might need to be removed to prevent mold growth.

While the fastest way to kill a tree is to simply cut it down, there are several other methods to choose from. You should hire a professional tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure your personal and property safety. Some slower but effective options include treating or grinding the tree stump or using a basal bark treatment. 

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 should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.
