"Glen Lamb is awesome to work with. We had him take down trees at 2 locations. Lamb’s was far cheaper than other quotes we received for the first job, saving us a lot of money, so we hired him again. His crew was efficient and courteous. Would definitely hire again for future tree service without hesitation."

"Steve quoted the job and gave us a start date. He and his crew arrived on that day ~ prepared, professional and polite. The work was completed efficiently, in promised time frame and to our full satisfaction. The price was reasonable and the tree take down, stump removal and cleanup was outstanding. We highly recommend S.A.B. Tree Experts and will use them again for any future tree removal, trimming or stump grinding. They were awesome!"

"Dan and his partner did an excellent job. They worked on multiple trees on my property with great skill and professionalism. There was no debris left behind. They went above and beyond to get 3 huge Hickory trees under control after many years of neglect. They removed a pesky bush and tree stumps and a large tree branch that fell on my property last year. I truly feel better as a property owner to have Dan and his team in my corner. I have before and after photos available."

"I hired Save A Tree to trim my big 175-200 year old oak tree. I told them there were ants in the tree and I was concerned about future damage. They told me they can do ant treatment also a seaweed treatment to help prevent shock. I had several other companies look at my tree. They were the only ones that even mentioned having services like this! Or discussed shock prevention for my tree."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

The best time to trim trees is in late fall through winter when the tree has slowed its growing for the year. Cold weather stops insects and fungal growth from attacking a new tree wound. Summer and fall are considered the worst times to trim trees, but it’s permissible in certain scenarios, such as tree disease, damaged branches, or small, aesthetic cuts.

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

Pruning a tree is a yearly DIY job that involves removing small dead branches, leaves, and blooms to help the tree grow bigger and stronger. You can often complete the job with basic home gardening tools. Trimming a tree, however, removes larger sections to control the direction the tree grows in and protects your home, utility wires, and yard from potentially dangerous branches.

If you don’t cut down a dead, dying, or diseased tree, it can become a nesting place for pests like mosquitos, bees, beetles, wasps, fly larvae, and more. Some pests will live in the tree, while others will feed off the decaying wood. Unhealthy trees are also more likely to fall over, potentially injuring people and causing damage to your property.
