"I was so impressed with the Sloan Tree team! They were polite and courteous and VERY interested in my specific situation. They were quick and efficient and got a quote back to me immediately. Then on the day the tree came down (they took down a mature ponderosa pine) they arrived on time, were VERY careful with my property and safety, and were again way beyond the curve when it came to friendliness and communication. Finally, when it came to clean up, they were careful to keep things as tidy as possible during the process, and then completely cleaned up the street/sidewalk/yard before leaving. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to have a tree or stump removed - they are top-notch!!!"

"A. P. took down a very large and dangerous ash tree branch. It was obvious to the arborist, Angel, that the branch would snap back on the cutter if not done properly. He safely brought it to the ground. We are so pleased with A. P.â s prompt and professional service, we hired them to remove a tree stump in the front yard. Weâ re very confident A. P. will do an excellent job. Also, they will call utilitiesâ marking for us. This company knows itâ s business!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

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. 

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.

Trees don’t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won’t become a “tree” like before. Generally, trees don’t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it’s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it’s a good idea to make plans to remove the stump, even if it’s unlikely to grow back.

Coverage varies quite a bit by policy, but most homeowners' insurance policies will cover $500 to $1,000 of the cost of removing a tree. Additionally, if your tree causes damage to your property, like your house, many policies will cover some or all of the costs to repair the damage, depending on why the tree fell.
