"Started work early. Removed trees , brush and spread truckloads of dirt to level the yard. Actually shopped for the best dirt price and saved me about $250.00. He could have pocketed that money and I would have never known. Honest, knowledgeable, personable and did over and above the scope of work he was hired to do. In this city it is amazing to have this degree of service. Would definitely recommend this company and I will use them on my next project."

"This company did an amazing job with the job I needed. I had them trim bushes as well at clearing out my yard. They showed up on time and were extremely easy to work with. The job was very well done and I will be calling them again for more work on my yard."

"Anthony cut down 6 trees, ground all the stumps and removed all debris. He was amazing! A hard worker, very conscientious, very friendly and very skillful. Very fair price. I would recommend him to anyone!! It was very hot work and he hardly took a break! So glad I chose him! I even asked for a few business cards so I can recommend him to others!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

While trees can grow in the curb strip between the sidewalk and the street, this placement often poses the problem of interfering with overhead power lines. It’s best to consult your local utility provider and tree planting service before transplanting a tree that might grow into power lines. Also, you should never work within 20 feet of a live power line to avoid the risk of electric shock. Tree branches should never touch nearby power lines, so it’s essential to ensure your tree isn’t in danger of growing too close to them.

The best time to cut down a tree is during its dormant season, typically in winter or early spring, after all the leaves have fallen. Removing a tree during this period is advantageous for several reasons. Frozen ground helps secure the tree stump, protects the surrounding landscape from damage, and reduces the risk of the tree falling in an unintended direction. With the leaves gone, there is less risk of the tree's foliage getting tangled with other trees. Additionally, since this is often a slower season for tree services, you may be able to hire a professional at a lower rate. This dormant period is also the best time for tree trimming.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

An arborist specializes in tree care, performing tasks such as pruning, treating diseases, and removing hazardous trees. They also assess soil conditions, plant trees, and develop landscaping plans to ensure healthy growth. They also manage debris cleanup, inspect equipment, and record maintenance activities. Arborists often collaborate with landscapers and professional tree maintenance services, applying their specialized knowledge and problem-solving skills to maintain tree health and safety.

Costs depend on tree height, trunk diameter, removal complexity, and required equipment.
