"Absolutely fantastic service! Gene was extremely prompt, professional, caring, and thorough. I could tell from my first meeting with him that he cares about the service he provides and the trees that he works on. He is not only a licensed arborist, but he also keeps up to date on research and tree care techniques. The turnaround time was very quick. The team that came out was professional, efficient, and quick. He has the best equipment and an arborist on site during the work. Gene also came out to make sure instructions were clear."

"I had about 5 companies quote me to remove a 40-year old live oak tree that was damaging my driveway. I selected Proper Cut because Ken was very thorough in explaining the permit versus arborist letter we would need, showed us copies of the liability and workers comp insurance they carry, and he showed us multiple laminated pictures of the kinds of machines they use and what to expect with their team doing the work. We were very pleased that they were available to do the tree/stump removal within a few days. They had about six-seven guys who did a great job while taking great care for our property and their safety. The whole process took about 4 hours and the next day you can barely tell that a tree was there! They did a great job grinding the stump flat to the lawn and removed all the debris from the yard, driveway and roof. The price we paid was also very fair. They were not the cheapest (which we didnt want when considering insurance and quality of work anyway), but not the most expensive either. I was surprised by some of the quotes that were more expensive for companies who I could tell were not of the caliber that Proper Cut appears to be. We would hire Proper Cut again."

"Mike and his crew did an excellent job taking out several trees for me and trimming others back. From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and clearly knew what they were doing. The work was done carefully and the cleanup afterward was just as impressive everything looked neat and well taken care of. Their pricing was very fair, especially for the quality of work they provide. On top of that, they were genuinely friendly and easy to work with, which made the whole experience even better. It’s not always easy to find a crew that combines skill, reliability, and good customer service, but Mike and his team definitely delivered. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing tree work done."

"Good experience. Fast, professional and a price that was well below all the other competetors. Plus he actually did the right thing and checked on permit and got arborist to write a letter (all for no additional fee). I'm running out of trees, but if I need any more trimming, J Macias is definitely who I'm calling. (Remove one large laurel okay, major trim to second large laurel oak -- $2800)"

Arborists 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.

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.

Dying trees and even dead trees can spread diseases to other living trees. There are many different types of tree diseases, so it’s essential to address the issue as soon as possible to prevent the disease from spreading to other healthy trees. If the tree cannot be saved and is infected, you need to have it removed to protect the other trees on your property.

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 speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.
