"They responded to the listing right away. I did not have to wait for a proposal for the work they gave a written proposal on the spot. They scheduled the job within a few days. Cleaned all debris from cutting trees from ground and pavement. Professional trucks and equipment and several crew members were used on site. Showed business license on spot, called in commercial liability insurance and received by email next day and filled out 4-9 form on spot prior to payment. Arrived on time and finished in estimated time. 4 large, tall trees were removed from a precarious location between two warehouse buildings, (on a deep slope and only 10 feet between buildings), and intermingled with cables and electric lines, with the trees that grew up along side chain link fence and over top branches over both roof tops of building. The job was done in 3 1/2 hours! Their price beat every one else's price. I took 4 estimates from different contractors, two from Angi's list, which were the best prices and competitively bid the other two were called from other sources,(advertising in mail), and they quoted more then double and said it would take them 2 days to complete the work! I am beyond pleased with the job they did and I highly recommend them. I will be using Golden Tree Services again!"

Very professional, communication was prompt, super friendly and any request that I had William Cochran was able to deliver on. I highly recommend Klean Kut LLC and will continue using their services in the future!"

"Crimson Bay did a beautiful job cleaning up my existing landscaping areas. They took out the old stones & washed them. They pulled up the old plastic & leveled out the ground underneath, removed moss from the concrete wall, added a weed deterrent, laid down new landscaping paper, & put the cleaned stones back & added edging. They were professional, polite, & worked diligently. I thought the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend them."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

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.

Most jobs take 2-8 hours, but extensive trimming may take multiple days.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.
