"Actually showed up early, went to work and got the job done. Not a branch or leave left behind. Extremely reasonable on price. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for tree service. Mr. Dawson and his crew did an outstanding job!!"
"Gillis Tree Service is very thorough and skilled in tree trimming and removal. They were able to drop my trees in an exact area and chip all the limbs to save in haul away costs. They worked very safely and were sure to take their time so that no mistakes were made. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family!!! I am very satisfied!!!"
"I have never used Angis list. I am new to the area in a new home and was looking for someone to install window blinds. Within 15 minutes from registering with Angi's i was contacted by John and his wife Bree from SOA. They arrived the same day, did an excellent job and did so for what I considered a very fair/reasonable price. I will be contactong them again. Highly recommend. A very nice young couple."
"Noah was great. He got my 3 zones working and programmed the controller In 2 hours. It included changing out valves, sprinklers, splicing a broken pipe. I highly recommend Premium Landscaping."
"I hired them to cut some limbs and bushes. They did a great job with the bushes. The tree limbs were not cut back as far as I had wanted. The only other negative was I received a text message at 2:25 am to rate their service! So I was awakened at 2:25 am. I would definitely recommend them for general yard work but I don t think trimming trees is their specialty"
"Hired them to create a pad and retaining wall for my inground pool mechanicals. The old retaining wall had fallen over and the pad had become unlevel because of tree roots. They did a great job! I mentioned offhand that now I needed to find someone to fix the pool heater and a pump. I had been unable to find any pool service company that would work on the heater, and everyone just wanted to sell me a new motor and pump. SPM "had a guy" that could do all of that. SPM's crew did way more than I expected, were very pleasant, and even fun to work with."
"Mickey was upfront, honest, affordable, reliable and the work performed was quality!! Sod purchased and installed, mulch delivered and installed, bushes trimmed - everthing completed quickly and in a professional manner. Yard looks great for the holidays!!! I could not have asked for more and would highly recommend!!"

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.
Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.
Some fast-acting products can rot a tree stump in four to six weeks. Keep in mind, these products contain harsh chemicals that may prevent regrowth in the area. Other products, like fertilizer that contains lots of nitrogen, can enhance the process and rot a stump in about a year. (This is compared to the ten years it can take naturally for a stump to rot.)
Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more. Some arborists charge an hourly rate, typically between $100 and $350 per hour. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of work, the number of trees, accessibility, and whether you hire an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring, you should also consider their experience and insurance coverage.
Below are some estimated costs for common arborist jobs:
Small tree removal: $300 to $500
Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more
Tree health assessment: $150
Trimming a small tree: $75 to $200
Trimming a large tree: $150 to $400
Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more
You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.
If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.
