"They were great ! First-rate experience, start to finish. They removed a number of dead trees from my back yard--which has no vehicular access from the front. The work was expertly done, from angling the tree falls to maximize the limited space; to disposing of the wood; to cleaning up after themselves. I would recommend AATC to anyone who needed arborist services without reservation."

"I hired Dan to remove several trees as well as clean the gutters and moss off of a roof on a tenants house. Dan went above and beyond. I had 3 other companies promise to come out and 1 even shook hands and said they would be out and never showed up. I was in a huge bind because the homeowners insurance was threatening to drop insurance. I found Dan through our community forum. Dynamic Landscapes! He came out gave a more than reasonable price. He came the very next day and did the entire job. He cleaned the yard and everything was left meticulous. I was so impressed by his work and just him in general... we have 5 homes. I would never even ask anyone else or consider another company. Dan is top notch. He is my go to guy now. I have shared all of his info on community forums because he is trust worthy and he truly cares about making sure you are happy with the job. He even followed up after the job to make sure we were happy and if there was anything we had an issue with he would have come right out. You can trust Dan's word. He is absolutely ð ¯ the best hands down. I think I've thanked him about 3 times now."

"He contacted me quickly when I submitted my request at Angi. He asked me to send a picture of the stump I needed removed. He quoted me through ANGI at a price LESS than what it would cost to rent a stump grinder. He was done in 20 minutes and the area looked exactly how he found it minus the stump. He was timely, kept in contact throughout the day until he arrive and did an amazing, efficient job."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree.

If you’re taking down a tree that you don’t suspect is affected by disease or pests and it’s nowhere near your home or other structures, then calling in a tree company should work fine. However, anything more involved means an arborist is a better option. These pros have years of experience with tree removal and can safely take down trees located next to structures, and they have the tools, sanitization equipment, and experience to remove sick or dying trees without infecting nearby trees. 

There are several signs that may indicate a tree needs to be cut down. These include visible damage to the trunk or branches, a hollow trunk, extensive storm damage, or a significant lean to one side. Other warning signs are pest infestations or the tree growing too close to a house, power lines, or other structures. It is best to hire a professional arborist to inspect the tree, as they can determine if it can be saved or if removal is necessary.

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.

Palm trees aren’t much different than your typical tree removal. Removing a palm tree is a standard procedure as long as pros have the proper tools and supplies. For DIYers, however, there are some risks associated with palm tree removal. Palm trees have spiky fronds, bark, and patches of hefty wood. So, it’s best to let an experienced tree service pro remove a palm tree.
