"I can't recommend O'Shaugnessy Trees enough. Talked to Connor on a Monday and the trees/shrubs were finished by Wednesday afternoon. He did a fantastic job with a fair price on a really tough project. Hire him!"

"These guys are responsive and professional. They delivered above and beyond what I expected. They didn’t just take care of the job I called them about. They also surveyed my property and let me know that I had a tree in the alley that had grown up through wires (no wonder our tv is so sketchy. I am delighted with their attention to detail and super happy with the value received. Will absolutely call them again the next time I need tree trimming or storm clean-up."

Customers say: Terrific value

"I was originally impressed with the bid to take out 3 elm trees. It came in much lower than 3 other companies. Then Rob and crew really impressed me with their work. They were respectful of neighbors yard as well as my own, safety protocols were impressive, and clean up was beautiful. I am hiring K2 Tree service again."

Customers say: Quality work

"This company is great! We had a lightning strike on a tall tree next to our home and were worried the high winds we often have here would bring it down on our house or outbuildings. Ryan called and came out right away and gave us a really good bid. We hired him for the lightening tree and another 8+ trees, and we are planning on having them back in the spring for more fire mitigation. They have cleaned up and hauled away everything each day. It has been a pleasure to have them on this job."

"James and Matt are excellent at what they do! Both are very knowledgeable arborists. They removed an 80â ft dead Cottonwood and trimmed several trees and bushes. They showed up on time, cleaned up, and stayed to do an additional service at the last minute. They have reasonable pricing. Arborist Prime will now be my tree service. I highly recommended them."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

The best time to prune Japanese flowering cherry trees depends on where you live and the type of flowering cherry tree. Some trees benefit from being pruned toward the end of winter or early spring, after the last freeze. Meanwhile, other trees do well after blooming, in late spring or early summer. Avoid pruning your flowering cherry tree in the early winter, as this encourages open wounds that can lead to infections or infestations. 

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.

It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it’s hard to predict the fall’s timing, it’s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.

You’ll have to balance up the cost, the value of the tree (sentimental or otherwise), and the risk factors. An experienced arborist will help you understand whether transplanting is likely to be successful. The cost and hassle of transplanting a large, well-established tree are often not worth it, especially if the species is fast-growing and easy to source. The decision depends on the age and species of the tree, the conditions in the new site location, and how careful the company is when digging out and moving the tree.
