"This is a phenomenal tree service and Arborist. They do fabulous field work. Andy has been taking care of my trees for years. I also have fruit trees that he has helped me with. I cannot say enough good things about the work they do. The crew is hard working and extremely professional. I rely solely on Strobert's Tree Service to care for my trees. Andy is spot on when it comes to pricing. The very first time he was out for an estimate he noticed a strangulating root which was killing one of my trees. He went to his truck for some tools and took care of that root instantly - at no charge - and saved my tree that I did not even know was in trouble. Also, we had an ice storm recently and Andy was able to save my favorite 60' Pine tree. Branches were freezing and dropping to the ground. They did a procedure called "re-balancing" and actually weighted the tree in specific areas until it could take hold - and it is surviving as well. His pricing is spot on as well. I strongly recommend Strobert Tree Services as this is a true professional."

"After the recent blizzard this company was hired by many satisfied homeowners in our community. In addition, they brought in a dumpster for any other homeowners to dispose of tree limbs they were able to take care of themselves. THANK YOU!"

"We’ve been having Brandywine Tree & Shrub do our tree maintenance for years & they’ve always done excellent work & clean up the area when finished. Have equipment available that others don’t have to do the job right even with HUGE trees. Came out for initial estimate and were here in about 2 weeks to complete the job.Usually we only have tree maintenance done but they also removed debris hanging off edges of our gutter helmets & also removed branches & other tree debris from our roof (2-story home). Cut down 2 trees completely,cleaned up and reduced canopy of three other trees (one HUGE) as well. Removed all debris. HIGHLY recommend-some arborists will butcher your trees-Brandywine Tree & Shrub won’t - they are well trained, courteous, and always do a superb job."

"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

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Most experts recommend removing a tree that has sustained more than 25% loss in the limbs, trunk, or circumference of the bark. Doing an initial trimming of damaged and dangling branches, but then waiting a few days of monitoring to decide how much more you might need to cut can help you better assess the total damage to the tree. However, consulting a tree maintenance pro to make this determination the best course of action before removing a tree.

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.
