"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I first used Over the Top Tree Care back in 2018 when they removed 10 large Leyland Cypresses from our property. The crew was professional, efficient, and left everything spotless. It was a big job, and they handled it seamlessly. Fast forward to 2026 after the blizzard they showed up quickly! This time not helping myself, but overall 10 home owners in my neighborhood with storm damage and tree removal. In a stressful situation, they were organized, responsive, and worked tirelessly to get everyone taken care of safely and quickly. Communication with Jason has been fantastic. He’s clear, honest, and always keeps you informed throughout the process, which makes all the difference during big projects and emergencies. I truly can’t recommend this team enough. If you need tree work done right, they’re the ones to call. 🌳💪"

"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."

"The best experience I have ever had with a tree company. The boss is an Arborist, so like me he loves trees. However, I had one gigantic Maple tree that was extremely large and damaging my house and roof. It was carefully and professionally removed with no damage to my roof or exterior of my house. If you want competent, knowledgeable tree professionals, this is the company to hire!! I can't even express how great they are! I highly recommend Boss Tree for any tree job; whether they are saving, restoring, trimming, or removing a tree."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Dead tree branches should be removed, because they can cause the tree to lose nutrients. They can also make the tree more susceptible to disease and pests. Removing dead and diseased branches can help the tree recover and increase the odds of saving a dying tree. Make sure to prune the tree correctly to avoid damaging it further.

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.

Consumers typically do not need to worry about the cost of tree insurance, as professional tree service companies pay for their own coverage. For a tree service business, an average U.S. policy covering about $1 million in general liability costs roughly $40 a month or $500 a year. More extensive policies, providing between $500,000 to $2 million in coverage, can cost between $3,000 and $6,000 annually, depending on the company's size and scope of work. Tree service professionals should speak with an insurance company to determine the right plan for their business.

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.
