"I had a large branch crack about 7 to 8 ft long. I tried other tree services I had use before BUT they were all to busy to come for just one giant tree branch. I used Home Adviser and Lamb"s tree & plant health Care. Glean called that same day, and came over the next day to look at the job. Gave me a price and came with in 5 days to cut the tree. I will recommend Glen and his crew. They are the BEST. I will use them again. Great Service, Great Price, Great Job."

"Very Well. The tree was precariously balanced on the shed. Difficult to remove without destroying the shed. Cut the tree up with the precision of a surgeon. No additional damage to the shed. I would use them again. Highly recommended! Great work at a great price."

"Jeff and his team conduct themselves as ultimate professionals. Contact and follow up were considerate to the client. We were not left wondering if someone would return the call, or when they may show up. Proactive communication was provided. A walk through the work and estimate was conducted. Jeff was thorough in exchanging information with me, understanding what work we were interested in and providing suggestions and respecting our decisions with no pressure to upsell services. Our decades overgrown yard of prickers, hedges gone wild, and overgrowth was groomed back into a yard we were proud of. His fees were reasonable and our yard has been happily transformed. Strongly recommend this company!"

"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 questions, answered by experts

Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They’ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

Generally, you do not have the right to take fruit from a neighbor's tree, even if the branches overhang your property. The fruit is considered the property of the tree's owner. While you may have the right to trim branches that cross into your yard, the fruit on them typically still belongs to your neighbor. However, laws can vary by state and municipality. In some areas, branches that extend into your yard or trees that straddle a property line may entitle you to some of the fruit. The best course of action is to speak with your neighbor, as they may be happy to share. If a conversation is not possible, check your local regulations before picking any fruit.

Since overwatering can harm mature trees just as much as a lack of water, it’s important to know the signs of an overwatered tree. If your tree’s leaves are yellowing, wilting, or dropping leaves, it’s likely that you’re overwatering. Other common signs include rotting, fungi, soggy soil, soft or peeling bark, falling leaves, and brittle roots. 

If you realize that you’ve been overwatering your mature tree, stop watering and give the soil time to dry out. Then moving forward, increase time between watering sessions.
