"Ascending Tree Service provided excellent tree service. They carefully took down trees over the house and garage. They ground roots and stumps and pulled vines. They cleaned up and left things looking even better than when they arrived. My property looks fantastic! They were prompt and affordable. I highly recommend Johnathan and Ascending Tree Service!"

"These guys are the best. Looked up tree services. Angi showed them as 1 of 4. Jon and Nick responded immediately. Nick came out on Sunday and gave estimate. Said they would be there on a Monday These guys showed up promptly and got to work. These 12 (yes 12) trees were sweet gums which can difficult. The crew got all of them down in pretty short order. Nothing damaged on this end. If you want QUALITY tree service call BIG JON. I will use them again as I have 2 more that will eventually come down. Thanks Jon, Nick and crew. Thanks VETs. Your service to our COUNTRY and Community is appreciated."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.

The felling notch you make before you make the final cut will determine which way the tree will fall. The cut will be in a wedge or triangle, and the tree will fall from the highest point of the triangle. You can use this, as well as the process described above, to estimate where a tree will fall. 

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.

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax.
