"â­ â­ â­ â­ â­ A Phenomenal Experience with Sloan's Tree Service! I cannot say enough great things about Sloan's Tree Service! From the very beginning, Aric, the owner, and his wife Madison were a delight to work with. They took the time to truly collaborate with us, ensuring that we got exactly what we wanted. They were attentive to our needs and worked within our budget, which was a big plus! Aric and his team exceeded our expectations in every way. Not only did they schedule and perform the work quickly, but the results were outstanding. They removed two large trees and expertly ground the stumps until they were practically non-existent. Additionally, they cut the remaining wood into firewood-length pieces and stacked them, just as we had requested. The brush was completely cleared, and they left our yard looking immaculate. It's hard to believe the transformation our yard underwent in such a short period of time! Aric and Madison were not just fantastic professionals, but also genuinely lovely people. It was an absolute pleasure to meet and work with them. We can't recommend Sloan's Tree Service highly enough! We will certainly be referring them to all our friends, family, and neighbors. I am thrilled to have finally found a go-to "tree guy". Don't hesitate to give them a call â you won't be disappointed!"

"I am a Professional Engineer and have high standards for contractors that work for me, I designed a custom metal and wood fence and Fernando was the low bid. He was professional, fair, easy to communicate with, and did not charge me for many extras he provided. Most important he and his team did excellent, high quality work. I highly recommend Fernando and A Sharper Image Landscaping."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

  • Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself

  • Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself

  • Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself

  • Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines

  • Pay to have multiple trees removed at once

  • Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season

Cutting down a dead tree is always strongly advisable. Aside from being an eyesore, a dead tree can be extremely hazardous, especially when it’s near people or structures. Even if the tree isn’t near your home, it can still harbor pests and diseases that can potentially spread to nearby plants and homes.

For Bradford pears, damage from storms is common, and if the trunk splits, it can pose a danger to people and surrounding structures. The best thing to do in that instance is to have the tree removed. If there’s only minor damage to the branches, pruning away the damaged parts is the first order of business. You may also want to consult a professional arborist to make sure the tree is healthy.

If a tree isn’t pruned, it can inhibit proper growth and fruit production, cause damage to both the tree and your property, and create entry points for pests and diseases. Pruning a tree enhances its stability, appearance, shape, and growth. Pruning trees regularly can also save you money long-term by avoiding overgrown or dangerous dying trees.

If you ever want to see the literal fruits of your labor, you’ll need to prune your peach trees. Without pruning, the trees may not grow or bear fruit since the nutrients will be divided among too many offshoots to provide any with enough energy to produce the peaches. Plus, if parts of the peach tree become diseased or pest-ridden, pruning can nip those problems in the bud.
