"I had an excellent experience with the Shambry crew. I had a pecan tree damaged in a storm, and they used the bucket truck to take down the hanging branches. Excellent customer service, great price, high quality work and clean up. Showed up on time. Very pleasant to work with. Will definitely use them again."

"West Tree contacted me through Angi and provided a reasonable quote while already in the area. They completed the work the next day, cut down the trees and limbs as agreed, and charged exactly what they quoted. I was very satisfied with the tree work itself. However, the dozer used during the job left deep track marks in my yard. After I contacted the manager, the crew returned and attempted to level the area, which helped some, but I still had to spend my weekend doing additional repairs. The equipment also damaged the bark on one of my healthy trees. The crew wrapped it with electrical tape but never informed me. I discovered it two days later. In addition, a sprinkler line was broken during the work, and I only found out when I turned the system on. The tree work was good, but I was disappointed by the property damage and lack of communication about it."

Myself stands out for my ability to face challenges head-on and finds solutions in situations where others might struggle. Whether working on construction tasks or dealing with unexpected obstacles in the field, I stay calm, focused, and determined to get the job done safely and effectively. My problem-solving mindset and willingness to step up during tricky situations makes me an asset on any crew. I take my job very very seriously and I am determined to make sure each and every customer is 100% satisfied and that the work I’ve provided has given them the desire they were wanting. I am a follower of Christ show up on time and do as the customer pleases to the best of my ability. My goal in the work force is to make sure I make an impact in this world and to make sure everyone is happy. Thank you

With over 20 years of experience, I’ve spent a good portion of my life fixing, building, repairing, and occasionally staring at projects with my hands on my hips until inspiration strikes. I’m a handyman by trade, woodworker by passion, and problem-solver by habit.\n\nServices include general handyman work, custom furniture, furniture repair and restoration, woodworking projects, lawn care, and tackling the projects you’ve been meaning to get around to for the last six months (or six years).\n\nI take pride in quality work, honest communication, and doing things right the first time.\n\nAs an added bonus, services may also include unlicensed (and occasionally unsolicited) advice, a winning personality, and hairbrained answers to the deepest mysteries of the universe and the human condition.\n\nBecause sometimes you don’t need magic—you just need a guy with tools and questionable levels of confidence.

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

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.

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.

The speed of your tree root removal process depends on a few different factors, including the size and type of tree. However, the fastest method of killing tree roots is applying chemical herbicide, which starts working quickly and efficiently. But this removal method has its drawbacks, such as having a negative effect on the surrounding vegetation and landscaping. Other options like rock salt and stump grinding work relatively quickly and cause less damage to your yard.

Usually, trees cannot grow back after their stump has been ground, but some very hearty types of trees can. For example, if you have a black locust or Redford pear, the grinding will need to go deep to prevent them from growing back. Ask your tree service or stump removal expert whether your tree can resprout after its stump is ground down.
