"This company came out and performed an outstanding job removing 30 plus trees from my property in just one day. Other quotes were double what Fredy and his crew charged. These guys had 6 climbers in trees they had access difficulties. Always recommend them."

"Bryan is fantastic and my new go to guy for stump grinding. Easy to talk to, courteous and professional. Big red oak and medium maples in some challenging spots. Quote process was seamless, he showed up when he said he would and worked hard until the job was finished. Also very safety minded and cleaned up nicely when finished. He is the only one I will call next time."

"I initially hired Wullian because of his fair pricing. I am very considerate of my customers costs, as a contractor myself so I was refreshed with earthly pricing for a change. While the work was a bit out of my capacities, he worked with me to keep the price down allowing me to do what I could. Not many companies are this flexible so I was extremely grateful. The team did exactly what I wanted and were considerate during the process. After 18 years, a tree over the house and another tree that caused countless nights of sleep loss finally were down. Soo happy, I invited him back and the service if possible, was even better. As soon as the opportunity arose, I called him a third time and got whatâ s hard to imagine that point again even Better service. This rarely is the case, usually contractors make the effort only initially to get foot in door. Dexte Tree Service if fully capable of any job size, I hope I have more opportunities to have them help on future jobs, but in the meantime after almost 20 years, Iâ m finally going to have a really nice yard because of them. Thank you Randy G. Evergreen Rd, Avon"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It depends on the type of tree. Typically, late spring on the cusp of winter is ideal for trees about to emerge from dormancy and produce new buds. That said, late fall is ideal for certain deciduous trees prone to bleeding sap. Avoid trimming trees in early spring, when they’re prone to disease.

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.

It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You’ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it’s large. 

Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn’t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what’s left of it.  

If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years. 

Yes, it can be good to remove dead branches from trees. Dead branches can lead to rot in other areas of the tree. They can also cause damage if they fall on a house, shed, fence, car, pool, or other structure or property. However, it’s important that dead branch removal is done safely. If the branch is high in a tree or requires a lift or ladder to access, consider calling a professional tree removal company, as they will have the experience and equipment to do the job safely.
