"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."

"When Mr Early surveyed the job and explained how we would do it, I knew he was a true professional. He even asked where the septic lines were so as not to damage them. He was conscientious to not damage our yard in the process, and this was a big job: 15 huge cedar trees were taken out as well as a line of bushes. Yard damage was very minimal, virtually nonexistent. About 10 years ago I had three other trees removed and the crew that did it left my yard a wreck. His price was competitive and he was on the job every day until it was done. I highly recommend his services."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.

To maintain trees on a commercial property, perform regular pruning, monitor for diseases, and apply fertilization to promote healthy growth. It is also important to remove any hazardous branches to keep the trees healthy and prevent potential liability issues.

The costs vary from $250 to $5,000 per tree, depending on the size, complexity of the trimming, and labor.

Yes, the same rules discussed above apply to your neighbor: They can trim one of your trees as long as they’re only cutting the portion that extends into their property. Your neighbor is not allowed to access your property without permission, nor can they cut past the property line.
