"Henderson Treework promptly responded to my request for service. Their quote was reasonable. Workers arrived in a timely manner to start the job. Once the job was completed they cleaned up the worksite. I would highly recommend their company to anyone wishing to hire a professional tree service company."
"I watched the team the whole time they were working. The gentleman who did the majority of the tree cutting was an artist. The precision with which he could drop a tree amazed me. They had no wiggle room where the trees were between two houses and power lines. Yet they were all dropped precisely. One of the trees had to be brought down in sections and again it was a precise process. The cleanup after the cutting was good. Tree removal can be a messy job with lots of lawn damage but this team minimized the lawn damage and cleaned up before they left. They were fast and efficient and amazing to watch. My neighbors were so impressed they also requested quotes from AC for tree removal. No regrets at all."
"I had about 20 stumps. The young man and assistant were verry thorough. Ground them all down to mulch. One stump had a metal fence post and he worked around it. He reviewed each stump at the end. I would recommend to anyone!!"
"Parker and his crew demonstrated a high degree of professionalism, showcasing thorough attention to detail and strong communication skills. Their recommendations were spot on for our tree pruning requirements. I wholeheartedly recommend their services and look forward to utilizing them in the future."
"They did a great job with the removal of several trees and trimming limbs in my yard. The job was described to me in detail and I was given several options on how to get the job done. Upon completion, they left the area very clean. I would hire them again and recommend them to anyone needing similar services."
"Hunter was very personable and did an excellent job. He was very professional and cleaned up well after job was complete. Would recommend to others and definitely use again."
"Spartan did an outstanding job on our property. We hired them for a full structure demolition and some land clearing/mulching, and they handled everything from start to finish with zero issues. The demo was clean, controlled, and done faster than expected. They showed up with the right equipment, stayed on schedule, and kept the site safe the entire time. What really stood out was how organized they were — no confusion, no delays, just straight execution. After the demo, they handled the mulching and clearing, and the transformation was night and day. The property went from overgrown and unusable to clean, level, and ready for the next phase. Communication was solid throughout the whole process, and pricing was straightforward with no surprises. If you need demolition, land clearing, or mulching work done right, Spartan is the company to call. I’ll definitely be using them again."

Once you confirm a tree is dead, you should remove it. Dead trees eventually fall, and larger trees in particular can cause damage to rooftops, fencing, flowers, and other objects. As we mentioned, letting decayed wood stay in your yard also invites risks to the surrounding landscaping and vegetation.
Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit.
If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.
The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you’re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you’re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear).
Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.
It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.
Many species, especially when well-established, are not fans of transplantation. You’ll need to decide if you want to risk splashing the cash, understanding that transplantation isn’t always successful. Again, this is where hiring a pro is helpful, as they can give you all the essential info you need to ensure your tree stands a fighting chance.
